Thursday January 30, 2020

A crazy day began at 7:40am with a cute black and white kitten delivered to us for taking into Super Mascotas Vet Clinic for sterilization.

Then we delivered diapers to Adiela's and played with their large menagerie of dogs. Then we went to the nearby Tulua Refuge to pick up a German Shepherd that needed a vet's attention at a new good vet they have discovered called Zoociedad Centro Medico Veterinario. However, on the way, we saw a small dog, frightened out of its wits, dodging cars and motorcycles on a busy street and we almost saw it clobbered by an ambulance. Cristina got out and chased it for blocks, without success. It was just too frightened to go to anyone. We can only hope that it survived and got off on one of the side streets. Then we took Adiela to John Faber's vet clinic, had breakfast at Bizcochitos, and went to pick up the kitten at Super Mascotas. Yes,... dealing with 4 different vets today...

Then it was back to John Faber's for delivery of a puppy given for adoption. No name given, very much like our Bebe, but black. We were running out of time and rushed home to deliver the cat (they were late), grabbed 2 dog crates, picked up our Bebe, which is also to be adopted and rushed her to Huellas Vet Clinic before they closed at noon. After a quick vaccination and papers we were on our way to La Union, over 50 kms away. People who had adopted another dog from us months ago lost it when it ate a snail, got sick and died. They wanted 2 puppies, one for at home and one for their acreage.

We got there uneventfully but I was certainly teary-eyed at giving up my Bebe who gave me such sad looks like she knew that this was goodbye... I have serious misgivings about bringing a dog to a place where it is likely to be on a long leash almost 24-7. Cristina does not share my concerns and thinks they will be fine with these people. I certainly hope so because parting with every puppy breaks off another piece of my heart.

The car was registering an outside temp of 34C in that area and it was 30C in the house when we arrived. A warm car and a little cooking soon has us at 32.5C in the house.... Praying for a little rain and a big breeze...

I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
