Sunday November 8, 2020
I watched Sarajevo (start of WW1) and Skin Of The Wolf (Spanish drama) on Netflix last night. The former was at least historical and interesting, showing how the assassination of the Grand Duke Ferdinand was contrived and blamed on the Serbians. The latter was pretty boring with maybe 250 words of dialogue in the whole movie. I guess it is time to start a new series.
This morning I brought desserts as usual to David's to watch MotoGP from Spain. 2 Suzukis took control and we had the 9th new winner in 12 races, such has been the unpredictable 2020 season without my main guy Marc Marquez. Perrenial favourite The Doctor Rossi crashed as did 2 of my other guys putting them out of the points. Binder and Dovisioso came in 7th and 8th so the day wasn't a total loss. Joan Mir (a guy) had the race of his career and is now the man to beat for the overall championship.
In the afternoon we went to the Animal Park for a celebration of Marino's 86th Birthday. Like last year, it was advertised and hoped that many people would come and donate food for the animals. Apparently 3 people came in the morning and only us in the afternoon. It was too nice a day and most people headed for the river or the country. So sad to have such a poor turnout for such a worthy cause. We brought a 25kg bag of the dog food that we buy for our own dogs and they love it.
It was a long day for poor Marino who was nodding off when we left. Marino is a legend in this town, going from restaurant to restaurant to collect scraps for the 40-odd animals rescued to the Animal Park. 86-years-old and he carries these pails like a coolie, inevitably followed by at least 3 dogs. He is an inspiration to everyone, and the only reason these poor animals can survive. I keep saying that they need to post photos online, and at the entrance, so people know that there are so many lovely animals to adopt. They are just craving attention so badly and most people won't adopt older dogs.
One of the dogs, a lovely blond girl, has a damaged back end and walks very crookedly but she is such a sweet thing with a winning smile and she is a fighter like our little NeNe. It is so hard for me not to bring such dogs home, but 10 dogs in this place is sufficient. We just have to support them there as best we can. Thank you to our friends Frank and Jen for contributing without being asked. Hugs to all.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.

Play-fighting is common

They are usually kept in their own shelter, safe.
