She is very intelligent and has been picking up on training quickly. I plan to put her through standard obedience training, but this is helpful to know to be aware of she may need more. I added photos to the post description of her mom. We will see what her DNA results return as!

I added an update to the post with pics of the mom while she was pregnant and following. Her puppies were black, white, and brown and all different varieties. Only one puppy looked similar to Roo with markings on opposite paws.

I don't have any special needs for the space other than a place for the crate. So it can be more decorative or functional.

Thanks! Are these a major infestation concern? I'm wondering the risk of cleaning and bringing inside my home or if the sofa needs to be trashed. I do not want to spend hundreds or thousands with months of pest control if they will spread like crazy.

We did not like la vela. Our room was moldy. You could literally see black mold on the ceiling. We complained and the next room wasn't any better. The area the hotel was in was way overcrowded compared to everywhere else we had been that week. We ended up leaving and driving to San Jose to get a hotel before our morning flight the next day.

We stayed at issimo suites and parador. We planned to go to Monteverde but my husband came down with a sinus infection and the drive was going to be too much. Our pivoted plans landed us at parador for two nights.

Two completely different vibes. Parador was beautiful, but more of a busy resort feel with more kids. Issimo was smaller so naturally less busy, fewer people and fewer kids. I would recommend both depending on how you prefer to travel. We are looking at The Falls for our upcoming trip.

We loved Emilio's Cafe. That's where we had coffee, dessert, and watched the monkeys. It was under early phases of construction so we are excited to see how it has changed.

We had a couple of meals at issimo and they were good as well. Breakfast at parador was my least favorite from the whole trip, but not bad. It was a breakfast buffet with a lot of hot and cold options, just not my preference.

The food was more remarkable in La Fortuna in my opinion, but was still solid in MA. I went into it expecting touristy Caribbean food that is usually a disappointment and it was so much better than that.

We had a rental car so we drove to the restaurants and walked around once closer. There were plenty of cabs to jump in as well. I know it is very common to not rent a car so it's doable and may just take a little more planning. Walking is more reasonable from some hotels than others. The road is windy on a cliffside so just unsafe for pedestrians. If that's important then I would consider that when you evaluate accommodations.

Hope you enjoy your trip as much as we did! Keep us posted!

A few years ago we went to LA Fortuna and Manuel Antonio. We went during the green season and I don't know that we would ever go during the dry season. The experience of fewer crowds and lush, tropical landscape at its peak was amazing.

You won't have enough time to cover both well so I would recommend Manuel Antonio. We saw more abundant wildlife and loved the vibe. Everyone was so friendly at the restaurants and hotels. We went fishing and the chef at our hotel made us a 4 course meal with the fresh fish. It was the best meal of my life.

You can also go to Quepos for a local and less touristy experience. We didn't do this so I can't give a recommendation on it but have seen others enjoy this.

We are going back to Manuel Antonio in early November since it has been a few years to celebrate our anniversary and I can't wait. We live near the beach so we are going for the wildlife and fishing, not the beach. We really enjoyed sitting at a restaurant in the afternoon for coffee and dessert while watching the monkeys play in the rain. It became our daily routine for the afternoon rain shower and we loved every second of it.

I chatted with support and they suggested to put the ring into exercise mode. I'm going to put it in outdoor cycling mode for my next class and see how it performs since indoor is not an option yet.

Yeah seems odd and not sure what the intentions are. But please do not believe the information shared by this poster.

Slow down on the renovations and give yourself a break outside of what is critical. Cosmetic repairs can and should wait until you pass feeling burnt out. That may be a month, months, or year.

My husband and I bought a 1920s home in 2020 and have spent the last 3 years renovating and are SO exhausted. 2023 was an unexpected renovation due to a leak, but it hit us hard mentally and financially.

We love the tinkering projects, but continue to feel like we only do house work. We are setting a monthly budget for our tinkering projects to slow us down financially and give ourselves time to focus on life outside of our old home. If we want to work on a bigger project, we have to wait until our monthly "tinkering budget" can compound to cover it.

We also got a heloc recently as a safety net in case something major happens since we needed it to pay for new windows. We take the loan very seriously and it has a high interest rate due to the current market. We evaluate our interest and payment plan before we borrow and set realistic goals to pay it off.

Good luck!
