Well, Piglet, looks like PHS is at it again this Saturday, 19 January with its vet clinic in the PHS purple building on the Lagoon, opposite Los Porticos.
Yes, Pooh, these folks sure do love to care for all the community pets. They encourage folks to be responsible pet owners by spaying and neutering their pets.
Piglet, so true! Appointments are necessary for these surgeries by calling 604-8676. And from noon to 2 pm, Dr. Edwardo Tesecum provides all other vet services, such as shots and exams.
Golly, Pooh, we better get off this log and start spreading the word!
Good idea, Piglet! ... See MoreSee Less

Hi, my name is Cashew and with me here is my buddy, Mango.
When you hear about the “Bugle Caye dogs,” well, that’s us.
I am smaller than Mango, but I am the more social of the two. He said it’s OK with him if I share our story. I am also the newbie on the caye, got here just a few months ago.
Mango has been here a whole lot longer. Neither one of us remembers how we got here or why or when. Or maybe we have chosen not to remember. But we are very good companions to each other.
You see that first photo?
Well, life had been pretty rough for us. Being alone, the two of us, on a small caye in the middle of the Caribbean Sea had its challenges. There was no food. We were starving.
Until Fred Arbona and Ruth Marie showed up one day in their boat.
Mango knew these good folks before I arrived. Mango says he was so scared, that he would run into the woods whenever Fred and Ruth docked their boat.
But Fred and Ruth did not give up on him.
What a difference a little kindness made.
Fred comes out three times a week, visiting with us, feeding us, and treating us sometimes to burritos, donuts, and ice cream.
We trust Fred, you can see in those photos how much we really like the guy! We hear his boat’s engine from a long way off, and golly, do we ever get excited! We can’t wait to see Fred!
In people speak, guess you might say we have built a relationship.
Fred rigged a feeding station to hang from ropes so the ants don’t eat our food.
Yesterday Fred introduced us to some of his friends from Placencia Humane Society. We got to meet vice chair Melanie L Wilcher and board member Bridget Kramer, who took all these marvelous photos! And we met Jan Leaman, too, a retired vet tech from the U.S. and devoted PHS volunteer.
They were happy with me, because I was so easy to vaccinate and worm. I am friendlier and quicker to trust, Bridget said. Thanks, Bridget, I heard that!
My buddy Mango was skiddish, and ran away at the sight of a leash. But these PHS folks were pretty clever, because they snuck some serious meds into Mango’s burrito.
I overheard them discussing our future. Mango is adapted to this caye life, and is fearful, still, of strangers. It would be really difficult for him to adjust to another life with an owner. He and I have grown to be good buddies. For now, that is the way it is.
We are just very grateful to Fred and Ruth and PHS for taking care of us.
They make us feel very loved.
We love them, too. ... See MoreSee Less
