we have a new addition to the castro clan and his name is hoyt. this little fellow is drop dead adorable, just picture a pound puppy and you've got hoyt. we had been wanting to get another dog for a while and decided that summertime would be best. so, you can just imagine my surprise when tony decided to let me know he was ready for a new pup now. as for myself, i'll take a dog any day, so of course i jumped on the chance before tony could change his mind and later that afternoon we we're standing there at the
humane society looking for our new pup. we had two in mind that we saw on the society's online web page. one was already adopted when we arrived and the other one, our hoyt, was in a room being looked at by potential doggy parents. immediately, we tensed up and asked a worker if we could be next in line to see him if it turned out the couple didn't want him. she agreed and let us in on some inside info: the couple had been in the room for quite a while and that wasn't a good sign. so all we could do was hope and wait. when the couple made their decision and began walking out of the room, we both held our breath and strained to hear their decision from a distance. to our luck, and the couple's future one-day-doggy, they decided the time wasn't right for them. as for us, it couldn't have been more perfect. and the rest is history...

it's fiesta time in san antonio! because dignowity hill is located so close to downtown, we were able to walk to the battle of flowers parade and mom castro joined in on the adventure. everyone was decked out in their colorful fiesta gear and it reminded me of when i used to go to the parade with my whole family and really make a day of it. the sounds were mixed with toy hoots and the laughter of the old and young. the smells, oh boy, the smells teased with hints of juicy turkey legs and greasy tripa tacos. yum. viva fiesta!
