La Bamba: PART 3

Hello La Bamba Fans!

Do we have a story for you...
Adventures with La Bamba conintued for us when we had to go into town to meet with Liz (SKIP Director) one afternoon. La Bamba, of course, wanted to come with us. Peter assured us that this was no problem because if he got out of the yard he would return in an hour or two as always. Well, our friend followed us all the way into town (15 min. walk) She did not leave our sides and chased away anything that came too close to us. We stopped to have a lunch meeting with Liz (outside so Bamba could sit with us). Our personal guard dog faithfully circled our table and even chase away the mariachis. La Bamba continued to follow us all afternoon.

We had to go to Liz's house to get some work done. La Bamba could not come in so we figured he would just go home. Much later that night (about 5 hours later) when we got home Peter came out and asked us if we had seen Bamba. We told we thought he came home because we did not see him after we left Liz's house.

At this point Peter looked very nervous. We told him we were going to get dinner back in town and would look for Bamba then. Peter asked if he could walk with us and look too. It turns out he had been looking for Bamba all afternoon with his wife and 1 year old daughter! We felt so bad!

After about 10 minutes of searching random allies and calling his name (and sifting through all the other stray dogs) we found La Bamba chilling with some tourists outside of a hostel. Peter and Bamba were reunited! And we felt much better about losing Peter's dog.

Every time we leave now we have to make sure Bamba does not escape. Peter no longer trusts his dog to return home.
