Thursday August 29, 2019
I don't know why but I awoke around 3am with a lot of pain in my right hip. There was also a tremendous amount of smoke from somewhere outside that was almost choking. I finally just got up, took 2 Tylenol and applied my TENS machine for 2 hours. By 5:30 I was ready and able to walk the dogs and most of the pain was gone. It didn't bother me the rest of the day.
Then we showered, got dressed, and ran the new dog, Rocas, for an examination by the vet John Faber Rojas. He took a blood sample to check to see if Rocas would be strong enough for sterilization surgery. We left her there pending the results.
John also had some interesting creatures to work on. One was a large owl with a broken elbow in its wing. He also had a small owl with a damaged eye. Then he had an orphaned oppossum baby. Somewhere he had also worked on some hedgehog babies which we saw a video of.
We had breakfast at Bizcochito again, sharing a table with another lady so I paid her bill too. We had 3 pastels (think delicious shepherd's pie in a ball), an empanada and 2 drinks between the 3 of us and the bill was under 7,000 pesos, or $1.98! I could eat there every day.....
We contacted Adiela and hung around until we could find out if we had to run to Buga or not to pick up the semi-Siamese cat to be adopted by our friend Tom in Manizales. She had trouble reaching the owner but eventually it was decided that the owner would bring the cat in to John. John would sterilize it, hold onto it until Tuesday, when he will give it all the vaccinations and parasite control.
We came home, napped, had lunch, and napped again.
I got the Sony camera all ready to donate to John and we went back around 3:30 to get Rocas. Her blood levels were too low in too many areas for surgery so she is on medications and strong high-iron food to build up her blood levels. We'll bring her back next wednesday for a chemo treatment and see how she is then.
The cat was there, already sterilized and groggy. Tom has named her LeeLee already and hopefully this will be a good match for Tom and his poodledog Hank.
I gave the camera kit to John who was flabbergasted. We will have to go out on a shooting trip together to get him accustomed to the Sony.
We made a cemetery pitstop and came home to a message from Aram asking for help to see an apartment for rent 4 blocks from us, so we were off again right away. It was a nice ground floor place and probably would be good for them except there isn't much place for the big Husky dog, Cooper, unless they use one of the 3 bedrooms... It could work... It has a better layout than their present place.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.

 |
| Little owl was hungry too |
 |
| Big owl was moving a lot. |
 |
| LeeLee is still groggy after sterilization |
 |
| She didn'tlike the light very much |
 |
| She certainly is a cutie |
 |
| Tom and Hank should be happy with her |
 |
| A successful adoption makes everyone happy. |
