Identity comes crawling-slow.
It took us years to figure out the gene pool of our lunacy-to-therapy-dog rescue animal, the pride of two Pennsylvania nursing homes and favorite doggie of children on two continents. Then, one unsuspecting Saturday afternoon, Mr Google and YouTube made it all crystal clear in the space of about 13 minutes: Rhea is a Whipador!
The undeniably Labrador Retriever characteristics blend effortlessly with the elegantly curved back half, the madly playful figure-eight runs round yard and house and municipal park, the thin rather than broad face. We would have loved Rhea no matter who her parents are, but now we are 99% sure she is half Labbie and half Whippet.
So we bought this cup.
Until recently, the job for which these Dog Waste Bags are designed required a shovel in our expansive Indiana back yard or a slight detour into nature off a Pennsylvania country lane. Now, however, our Whipador faces down the requirements of nature in a small side yard on an urban campus in Colombia. To complicate matters only slightly, much larger guard dogs that prowl our campus at night appear to have developed a predilection for our yard as their latrine. As I noted, they are large. My short morning stroll becomes too often a moment of discovery.
from the USA to Colombia, here’s what we needed from the GITTIN’ THIS DONE department:
multi-old-suitcase move of personal effects and their owners from the USA to Colombia. I wasn’t sure if some of the old bags would stand the stress of our over-packing. These well-made luggage straps added an extra layer of assurance and their bright colors made our bags double easy to identify at the baggage carousel upon arrival. Another inexpensive little product that makes AmazonPrime a godsend for last-minute needs as circumstances throw them across one’s path.
these as an add-on level of protection as we were moving a beloved dog overseas in a dog crate on a Colombian airliner. Easy to get, easy to use, easy to remove. Great value.
I consider this a strong-value product. I ordered it and will use it for a narrow purpose rather than as an every-day winter hat against business-casual and higher dress requirements.
Andean city—with its steep valley walls, its exotic potpourri of neighborhoods and its innovative deployment of cable cars and escalators as public transportation to and from the sprawling city sectors that cover both sides of the mile-high Valley of Aburrá—makes the perfect setting for, say, the first seven chapters of Bourne IV. Then the action could move on to seaside Cartagena, with its walled jewel of a city left to us by the Spaniards in unintended payment for the gold they stole. From these promising beginnings, we have an abundant portfolio of other eye-catching sites for the location manager to scout. Since Robert Ludlum left us in 2001, this will require that some studied disciple become struck with Ludlum’s conspiratorial madness and pick up the late imaginer’s pen.
