Boris and Birds and Itzcuintlis



three chihuahuas on a roof... if dogs aren't roaming the streets (quietly), they're barkin' at you from a roof. The indigenous peoples of Mexico used to eat a small, hairless dog: "itzcuintli"... Billy calls it "meat you don't have to refrigerate."
Boris wants to eat the little bird outside the window, a little brown spotted bird. I think it is taunting him, perched about five feet away from the screened window, making a loud, rattling, chirp-sound. He also wants to eat the hummingbirds that like to feed on the hibiscus outside the window.


Boris and Tomatillos and Garlic, this past Sunday- in our kitchenette

"The Hive", the tiles next to a door in town.

Handsome Boris reminds me of a cat I used to live with named Simon. I always called him Señor Simón. <3 I'd like to visit for a few days after the new year...
