    They're getting this street ready so thy can tear up the main drag, is my guess.  I wonder how they'll handle that section between the Terpel station and the curve going out of town where there is no alternate route.

    I believe you're correct, but Av. Centenario, which runs parallel to the main street, is also going to be paved at this time.

  2. Vice President and Chancellor Isabel de Saint Malo signed an agreement this week with the Ministry of Health, Caja del Seguro Social, and the Felipe Motta Foundation to establish a National Blood Bank which will coordinate donations and supplies to all 26 Blood Banks in the country.

    It would be interesting to know if extranjeros and patients of private hospitals will be able to donate to and receive from the national supply.

    I saw a lot of dog toys in the pet section of Do It Center, including the rope chews.  Can't find cat toys anywhere.  If somebody sees them, please let me know.

    Here's a page from Novey with a half dozen cat toys.

    The other week I was wondering if Novey sold Corelle dishware.

    Sure enough they do so I ordered a set online to be picked up in David, which we did. Worked great and I would shop in that fashion again.

    I used to give my dogs raw beef bones. But Dan Evers, the highly respected veterinarian who comes to Boquete two or three times a year to participate in the clinics and sees dogs for special problems the following day, advised against it. When he was here full time a few years back, he rented the house next door, came over often, and observed me giving the dogs raw beef bones. He said that in his practice in the States he did many, many surgeries to remove bones from dogs' intestinal tracts. Most were chicken bones, he admitted, which are the worst, but a significant number were raw beef bones, he said. As much as my dogs enjoyed those bones, I gave up the practice. I respect your experience and opinion, Dottie, but I respect Dan's more. My dogs now get only Nylabones, which last a long, long time. Occasional chewing just doesn't do it for some dogs. In the absence of a safe chew toy, they start on household objects.

    The problem with the beef bones sold here in the supers, as I see it, is that they are cut small and sharp.

    Some butchers will cut a whole femur into a few pieces for me which our dogs love but inevitably argue over.
