    About this ebook

    Yogi, a privileged Tibetan Terrier, tells the story about his screwball family who moved him from his beautiful home in California to a fixer-upper on a beach in Costa Rica- a beach with mean, skinny dogs who didnt even speak his language and where his Blue Ribbons didnt mean a thing!
    The new lifestyle appeals to everyone but him. Dad thinks he is fifteen again and has gone back to surfing, Mom is cooking weird foods like gallo pinto, TJ and Gina are enchanted by their new and diverse school friends, and even Nana has ditched him and taken up salsa dancing. Yogi flops around in the heat feeling sorry for himself until one night, terrified by a lightning storm, he runs into the jungle to hide and discovers himself lost. He will become changed forever by the creatures he meets who teach him simple lessons about life as they help him find his way home. From his new friends he learns the value of tolerance, respect for another culture, and appreciation for family.. and even a little Spanish.

      Dedication

      To my children, Tony and Madeline. Without their encouragement I would not have written about our beloved pet who disappeared for four days after we moved to Costa Rica.

      And for Yogi, whose unfailing devotion guided my family through a challenging transition in our lives.

      PROLOGUE

      What am I doing here? This place is supposed to be paradise?

      My family has always been a little crazy, but this is their goofiest idea ever! Why would anyone in their right mind move from a beautiful home in California to a dumpy house called a fixer-upper on a beach in Costa Rica? A beach with mean, skinny, ugly dogs who don’t even speak my language? A place where I get heat rashes and the mosquitoes wait for me to go to sleep at night so they can suck my blood?

      Am I the only one who isn’t loco-crazy? I think the heat has affected their brains. Dad thinks he is fifteen again. It is embarrassing! He is back with his surfboard and his bicycle, or his bicicleta as he calls it now. If he thinks I am going to ride along in that basket on the back he is nuts! Buena suerte! Good luck! And Mom isn’t much better. She is now cooking foods I can’t even pronounce, like gallo pinto which means
