Blackie, Tiwi and Nathan

Blackie and Tiwi

The staff met Blackie and Tiwi (like "kiwi" the fruit) shortly after we moved to Manzanillo in February 2009. They owned the pastor and his family in the church next door. When the pastor had to re-locate to a new church in the summer of 2010, they asked if they could stay with us. After being friends with them for so long we couldn't refuse! So now they faithfully BARK at any and all visitors and guests but are pretty big babies.
