A typical week here consists of two half days of work and one full day
(Tuesday, when everyone pitches in all day.) Two mornings are spent doing
animal care and on Tuesday afternoons and Friday afternoons we do projects.
Bob
works on repairing what needs fixing and I work pricing items for Paws and
Claws Thrift Shop, which helps support the animal rescue. I have been amazed to
see the variety and quality of the items in the thrift shop. The people we work with have been wonderful
and we have become good friends with them. It hardly feels like work at all at
times! And the animals are great fun.
I
have gotten very close to a couple of the dogs but as we already have two very
spoiled rescues (a dog and a cat) we are unable to adopt more at this time. I
have also enjoyed caring for the cats and the birds. What a thrill to see the
peacocks strut their stuff!

We love the little campground here. Our view of the Caballo Mountains gives us a show every evening as the sun is setting, and the other campers and residents are good neighbors. It is so peaceful here.
On our days off we have visited Truth or Consequences, Socorro, Hatch, Chloride, Elephant Butte, Caballo, and spent time in Las Cruces. We plan a trip to the dentist in Puerto Palomas in Mexico before we leave here. There is a lot to do in this area,and it is very beautiful.
Our 3 months here has flown by, and while it is time to move on we will be
leaving with very fond memories of our workamping experience. We will make
a point of stopping in when we come through this area again.I would be happy to answer any questions a prospective workamper may have. Please contact the Webmaster to have your questions forwarded to me.
