Meko



Going slowly with your car around your hometown and all of a sudden a little dog appears out of nowhere, running and with its tail between its legs. At first you think that you give off a different scent and that stray dogs notice that and put themselves in your vision so you notice them, and maybe that’s what he did?
I got out of the car and tried to catch him but he was so scared that the continued running, but I didn’t give up and followed him but everytime I tried to catch him, he ran away screaming and got more and more upset with me, so that made me think about what this little fellow in his short life of 2 months must have been going thru already. Two months and he has already been abused by “humans”,  what type of cruel person could harm such a small and defenseless little creature?
Since it didn’t work with me, I let my dog Asly out of the car and she started to play with him, and I tried to catch him when he didn’t notice but he didn’t do anything but scream and escaped again, hiding under a car. Of course I could not let this pass, I wanted to help him so much that I got under the car to be able to catch him and take him to a safe place.
He finally let himself be caught, but he was screaming and crying, thinking I was going to do something awful to him but when he figured that he was only getting petted and kissed he quickly calmed down. He looked at me with this pained little face and I  told him that he wasn’t going to suffer anymore and that I would make sure that I would find him a home  where he would be happy forever. I think he understood because he licked my nose and I felt like the most lucky girl in the world to be able to save another animal.
Now he is looking for a home, it is a male puppy of 2 months old and he will remain small, he is a good dog, loving, playful.. in short a treasure!

APy



Apy is a little dog, about 3 years old and for me the perfect dog. It is the typical lapdog that follows you around everywhere, when you enter his patio and don’t pay attention to him, he will be jumping around until you give him some attention and he won’t stop until you caress him. Since he is the smallest of the yard (about 6 kg) he needs to jump to get himself noticed. And if you get down to caress him, he gets on your legs and turns himself into a little ball like saying: take me with you please! You can tell he has been in a home and has been given love but you can imagine that people would just get tired and leave him, people are really that cruel. He is having a hard time in the yard since he wants to be loved all the time, instead of being in an unknown place without the constant company of a human, and he finds it hard and cries the whole day, asking for attention from anybody that will notice him. His “previous owners” gave him that in the two short years he has been with them and they took it away from him the day he was abandoned.
He needs a home, he is a very special dog, so if you are looking for a loving dog that follows you everywhere you go and loves you always, you are looking for him!

Short news




As we are in the era of the images instead of the word, I will give you some short updates with a lot of images. Gracia, our mare was very sick last tuesday and we called the vet who confirmed she wasn’t feeling well because she had a colic. With horses it’s a serious disease but he also told us it was probably cause because she was pregnant and almost due, so here we are again, pregnant  and waiting and so far things are going well, the colic was gone without any problem.
The donkey is doing a lot better, she no longer falls and she’s a little troublemaker sometimes. She doesn’t trust humans at all so occasionally you have to watch out for a little kick or so, so we are attentive. We have trimmed the hooves and cut part of her hair.
We collected a new goat.. the vet Benavente called us to say they had picked up a goat and obviously didn’t know what to do with it so as a result, here it is with us, this will surely not be a surprise.
The construction of the new hospital is going well, and it really is still very necessary because the number of operations we perform there is huge and you will realize that when we will let you know this years statistics, that are, as always, spectacular.
Kisses and affectionate licks, Fermin
