If they question you, you could do as I've done & say you are pet sitting.

Or just move somewhere with more reasonable policies, if possible.

They live 59 feet away. He’s the one that first found the dog. They need to keep it. But wife, the boss says no. Then Tuesday they leave to go to US for three weeks. So the dog, no name, has been pretty much dumped on “us” which you know means me.

She’s full of fleas and ticks and may have a botfly on her nose. We are taking her to a vet tomorrow. Because I can’t stand to see her suffer.

I’m so bummed.

Dogs rule Costa Rica. Strays everywhere.
But our lovely vet made a house call today.
Five Botfly larvae taken out of her body.

Right now waiting for her to wake up. Three hours or so….

Right in the middle of the hearing!!!!
