Hi folks and pooches! I am a Canadian living near Puerto Vallarta with my husband and a stunning and much-loved black Standard named SimbaZulu of Kingslair. We have had some interesting adventures since moving to this little town a couple of years ago, but Simba has adapted admirably and happily. Hubby and I teach English at the resorts in the area.

About the stained eyes.....when I was showing Setters and Spaniels back in the 70s, professional handlers of Bichon Frisees used to crush up a half Rolaids in their food every day and it virtually eliminated the stains around their eyes after a couple of weeks. The bonus is that the dogs get calcium and have very few tummy troubles. Try it...it works!
