Leticia B and Maddie Go To New Mexico

Leticia A and Leticia B are playing in the kowhai tree. This will be the last time they climb the tree and play together because tomorrow Leticia B is flying with Maddie to New Mexico to live.

These two Funky girls are playing with their dolls. Maddie, on the left  tells Fay that she is flying to New Mexico tomorrow with Leticia B to live. Fay tells her she will be sad to see her leave Kowhai Corner.

The next morning at the airport Maddie is  with Leticia B who is saying her last goodbyes to Leticia A. Leticia A is sad that Leticia B is going to New Mexico but understands Leticia B’s need to pursue her soccer desire in New Mexico. She will be living with a family who loves soccer.

The call of their flight number has been announced to board the plane.  The two girls walk together to board the plane.

Goodbye Leticia B and Maddie. All the Groovy Girls and Funky girls at Kowhai Corner hope you have a safe flight and a happy future.

The Big Pink Fish

 Celeste is walking the Labrador guide dog puppy who is lives with Polly. Siri is walking Mustard who belongs to Celeste. Polly has the Labrador puppy for twelve months and then it will go back to the Guide dog association where they will do an assessment and train the dog so he can be paired with a blind person.

They are walking on a coastal road and the look over at the beach and they see a big fish that has been washed ashore. Siri passes the guide dog puppy’s leash to Celeste and runs down to the beach to see if she can help the fish.

Siri pats the fish on its side and it is unresponsive.

She climbs up onto the fish with some difficulty, because it is slippery, and kicks her legs on the fish. The fish tells her to go away. The fish is a mother fish and tells Siri that it saw its baby fish get pulled up out of the water on a fishing line and she hasn’t seen it since. She doesn’t want to live without her baby.

Siri slides off the fish and talks into her ear to encourage her to turn around and she will help push her back into the sea. Meanwhile Celeste is getting closer and the two dogs are barking with excitement to get close to the fish.

The fish sees and hears the dogs coming closer it does turn around to face the sea and Siri pushes it out to deeper water where it then puts its head down and swims out into the ocean. It can’t be seen so the girls believe they saved the fish.

 It was the sight and barking of the dogs that scared the fish that made it turn towards the sea. What great team work between the girls and dogs.
