Dear Sir,

I was bemused by the letter in the Reporter complaining about barking dogs at the animal shelter in a commercial area on the Carretera in Riberas. Are there actually places at Lakeside where barking dogs are not heard? Perhaps in a gated community where, I suppose, they may be prohibited?

Dear Sir,

As fairly new retirees to the area, we enjoy our daily walk with our dog along the splendid Malecon at Ajijic.

Dear Sir,

Re: the bolardos, those short curb posts to set sidewalks off from streets.

Dear Sir,

In reference to the article on the Animal Shelter article in the May 12-18 issue.

Dear Sir,

At 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 24, I was driving home to Ajijic after visiting friends. I live in the heart of the village. As I turned down a local street, I saw a full-sized white pick-up truck in the middle of the road, blocking my way.  I slowed down and noticed a man standing next to the driver’s side door. He looked in my direction and then turned toward me. When he did I saw an automatic weapon in his hand.

Dear Sir,

Soon we will be leaving Ajijic forever due to severe health concerns for my husband.  Before we go I need to send out a huge thank you to this wonderful community.  Without you we would have been lost.
