Ready the Turtle Dog

Just doing his job, making sure all the babies make it to sea.

So today I bare very sad news and I am fighting back tears as I write this. My turtle dog Ready, who has made countless appearances in my blog entries and has a special place in my heart, has passed away. He was hit by a car today in Playa San Miguel just hours after I switched back to Costa De Oro. Writing about my past few days in San Miguel seem irrelevant now. So I am devoting my post today to pictures of one of the greatest dogs I have known and to the kind people (Alvaro, Meadow and Alicia) who were with him. I am going to miss him greatly!

While looking for my favorite pictures of Ready, I realized what an impact he had on most peoples time with PRETOMA. Every single volunteer  took pictures of Ready, which just further proves what a special dog he was.
