Apache Indian Reservation


                                             This dog has udders.
                                            We met a girl in need.  She had got kicked in the
                                             ribs the night before and was in severe pain.
                                             She had no car to get around.  We were able to
                                             get her to the hospital and watch her kids while
                                             she was getting x-rays.  We got her boy some new
                                             shoes as his were way too small.
                                            


                                            Waiting in the waiting room.
                                             Saw this big guy outside the hospital.

                                We brought this family a food basket and had a good time
                                 hanging out.

                                  They call this a "cook-out"

                                          You know you are near the rez when you see a

                                                    This was my map they made me.
