Pasa!

Hello there! I'm having a case of writing block right now, so I'm hoping that if I just start typing, the creative juices will begin to flow.

Her name is Pasa, which means "raisin" in Spanish (refer to the big black spot on her head). The official story is that Adam and Lara were skeptical about having a dog here in Nicaragua because of the responsibility, but Adam's Nica counterpart's dog had puppies and they couldn't say no to one. Off the record, it was destiny that brought them together. I couldn't imagine Pasa without the Clarkhelms or the Clarkhelms without Pasa. They saved her from a dim future as a street dog, and now she's house trained and does lots of tricks.
I'm in Managua right now for a meeting this afternoon, and then tonight is the annual Small Business Cocktail party fundraiser. Lots of volunteers are going, so it should be a good time. We're staying at the Holiday Inn, and that's where the party is too. I'm going to take lots of pictures because we're going to get all dressed up (to the best of our ability). So be on the look out!
More to come soon!! (or later....)
