Happy 49th Anniversary Patsy.  We miss you every day.

Cristina and I roared out of here at 7am with another rescue street dog, seemingly a twin to our Negrita, that I named Zorra (female Zorro).  We took her to Dr John Faber for her first chemotherapy treatment for vaginal cancer.  This is another neglected, absolutely sweet dog that needed help, and she is so lucky that Cristina and friends are dedicated to their cause.  She will be kept at the Animal Park.  It is so easy to fall in love with these sweet animals and want to keep them, but the Inn is full here sadly.
There was another man in the room as Zorra was getting her treatments and we finally noticed that he had 2 Iguanas under the bench.  It is always a surprise which critters are at the vet's.
The upholsterer Pedro Luis came with the final covers for my office chair.  Cristina noted that they blend well with the nearby kitchen chairs too.  We just might get the living room suite covered too.  The main problem is money right now as I prepare to leave for Canada.
I tried to update my Motorola G4 Plus to the most advanced Android security system and I couldn't.  It is built-in obsolescence that these companies sell phones then drop all support a few years later..   Grrrrrr
I also dug out my old Alcatel $50 phone that I bought in Canada many years ago.  I am debating whether to bring it as a backup to Canada but really that doesn't make much sense, given my severe space limitations.  I really love that little phone which charges up just like new...  I tried my Colombian SIM card but couldn't get it to accept. 
I have been waiting in great anticipation for a beautiful young lady to come to the door and give me money....  Cristina says she is to bring a donation for Zorra's chemo.
Our dogs are so bored, just lazing away this 33C (feels like 37C) heat today.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.

Zorra could be a twin to our Negrita

It is so sad these dogs are abandoned

Dr John looks after them

She looks sick, and sad

She is calm and no trouble at all

One Iguana without the back ridge?

Maybe this is the dominant one

Office chair looking good.

We went for ice creams at one place along the park last night as invited by Liliana, Aram and family.  However their fruit was day old, and I am shocked that they admitted to it.  So we went to our usual spot on the other side of the park and enjoyed the offerings as you can see below.
Then we did a little window shopping and were stopped by this mesmerized cat outside one store.  It took a minute to see that the objects of his attention were a couple of geckos higher up on the wall.  I don't think she minded the 2 photos I took.

This morning, Pedro, the upholstery guy showed up around 9 am and proceeded to cover the 2 recliners.  They are covers, washable, not full upholstery, but still a lot of work.  The fabric we chose goes really well with the light woodgrain of our stereo stand.  Next he did measurements and arm tryouts on the office chair.  I really will have to pay this guy much more than he is asking.
After a quick catnap we went into Tulua and went to the cel phone company Movistar.  They say they can suspend my phone service as of the billing date Mar 26 for 2 months and I can come in and re-start it on my return.
Regarding the consistent loss of signal requiring me to remove and re-install the darn SIM card 3-4 times a day, he said I need to go home, to my wi-fi, open configuration setting and update my system and check the Version.  When I did that it said that my version is the updated version and there is no way to upgrade the new security patch level...  Useless as always...
Lunch was another pork cutlet around the corner because it is too darn hot to cook.
Claudia and Daniel took an injured dog to a specialist in Palmira, 1.5 hours away near the airport, on the motorcycle in this blazing heat.  Their love of animals is so commendable, but crazy at times.
2:31pm and it is 32.6C inside, 35C going to 36C outside and feels like it is 40C!  40% chance of precipitation after 5pm....  Let it pour.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.

This cat was intent on 2 geckos above

Still concentrating

Pedro recovers my recliner.  Matches the stereo stand

A few minor adjustments and all is well

Recovering the guest recliner

Looking good and comfortable

Checking out the office chair

The 2 recliners look good.  Photo does not do justice to them.
