Vacation Fun Time For Kids - I will be extending my usual Saturday Fun Time enrichment program to include 3 days of the first week of the Christmas vacation. Knowing that 2 weeks without school can become challenging for both children and parents, I hope to provide a great environment, as always, for creativity, and integrated learning that gives parents, grandparents and visitors an opportunity to have their young ones happily occupied. The dates of the program are Tuesday, December 20, Wednesday, December 21 and Friday, December 23. I would like to know by this Sunday or Monday, at the latest, if you are interested in participating so I can know how many to plan for. Calling is more direct but email is alright too. Thanks - Tracy Monk Durland, mazytronk [ -at- ] hotmail.com, 612-154-4729, Todos Santos

Flying Fido And Morris Into Mexico, Courtesy Baja Pony Express - Useful Article from Baja Insider 12/12/11: (1) You will need a Original Health Certificate completed by a Vet,. The documentation should verify that the dog has received all its shots. Do Not Try To Use A Photocopy. Rabies Shot not over 1 year old. (yes in the states it is 3 years but not Mexico Upon arriving at the airport, after clearing customs you will need to import the dog. This is pretty painless. They take your health certificate back to the office photocopy it and bring you the import papers with an official stamp. Hope that helps. Jim Hall

Now every 3 years - Editor]. If rabies vaccination history is not included, rabies vaccination certificate must be attached. - attestation that the pet is free from ECTO and ENDO parasites (or a deworming certificate).

Mexico recently changed the rabies policy. We flew into SJD In October and were asked to present health certificates for our dog and cat. They registered the animals and presented me with papers welcoming them into Mexico. The person who helped us also told me that the policy for rabies had changed in Mexico from a shot each year had changed to a shot every three years, just like in the USA.
