All you are achieving is relating the death of the animal to feelings of sadness and depression. People have loved to do this for centuries, without logical foundation. The new scientific method that has been proven to work, is to separate the concept of the "dogs" life and company, to the event of death or the body. This leaves children far more happy and ready to move on with life. It must be explained that everything that lives - also dies. To help your child disconnect from the death at the scene, encourage him/her to kick the dead body repeatedly, or even stab it with a steak-knife. This helps the child realise that the corpse does not represent the animals life. Consider feeding the animal as dinner, check first with your vet that no toxic substances will reside in the meat.

Watch and supervise them. Gee, what a novel idea that would be.

It will be tempting, but avoid the new strip/table dance club...these places only want $$$$ so don't believe them about free drinks, etc. The new mayor has enlisted the help of the state and federal police to combat crime and police corruption, so corruption will be almost non-existant. Don't let the presence of a lot of uniforms bother you...they are there for your protection. It can look intimidating, but it's really a good thing. If you see gringo adults walking around, ask them for information or help. Many have been recruited to be present to help you...and are generally non-judgemental.

Priceless!

Great ideas! Sounds like more fun than conventional crunches.

Great article, I'd have to agree with SandMan when you spend your springbreak in Rosarito you really have to play it safe. The police there are very corrupt and will find any reason to harass you. If you keep a good head on your shoulders and play safe it can be a great destination. This article does a good job of highlighting that. My only recommendation is that you also travel with a large group such as SWAT (www.SwatUp.com) whom helps you gain the "safety in numbers" element and can help you have a great spring break. Other than that, these are some solid tips.

No matter where u go u watch ur back and be smart because u are out of ur element and the snakes know that very well so my advice to anyone is have eyes behind ur head and rock ON.

Funny story about the peanut butter... You're absolutely right, it works great - MOST of the time...hehe. We've got a mouse in our garage that is so clever he keeps managing to completely clean the peanut butter off of the trap without getting caught! At this point, we're just about to name him and let him stay!

I find peanut butter works excellently in attracting these rascally vermin! I put peanut butter in the middle of those sticky pads (which by the way need to be folded to look like a pipe) I also put them on the old standard mouse and rat traps however, it seems they know what those ones are. I actually seen mice avoid these traps at all costs!
