In Sheeps clothing

If you spend any time in Spain you may well notice the habit of keeping your dressing gown on. What do I mean? Well its very commonplace to see your average Spanish housewife in her dressing gown until lunch time. No they are not all late getting out of bed. It’s a habit that’s easy to get into and this time of year, when the mornings can be chilly indoors, it’s a perfect way of being cosy. So you wear you nice snugly housecoat while you do the housework, water the plants, see the kids off to school,take out the rubbish, walk the dog even. Its one of those things that brings a smile to your face and makes you think it could only be Spain. If you want to join the club try your local market for a bargain in the housecoat/dressing gown line. Me I've got three!

Suzy the cat in a tizzy

Suzy is a darling but when she makes up her mind there's no changing it. Suzy seems to have done just that with regards Billie the dog. Billie so wants to be friends and is very enthusiastic, Suzy is have none of it. So its all been a game of musical animals for the last few weeks or is it more like a french farce, dog in one door cat out another and visa versa, and never the twane shall meet.
Jo and Gary around the corner, other end of the streeet from Lil around the corner, have taken in another wee stray dog. The ever popular local vet Javier told Jo about this little white ball of fluff the other day. Its a year old and had been found running wild on the streets of a local town so was but in the pound. Fearing it would soon be put down Jo and Gary have taken it in. They say until its found a new home but somehow ........ well I don't think it will be moving on any time soon.

Princess and Bella the Spanielle

PRINCESS has found a home


This is BELLA
She had picked up a processionary caterpiller and half her tongue is now missing, but after treatment at the vet she came to us, and we have built her up again to full health, she is a very loving dog and is looking for a caring home.

Angel update

Well its a week tommorrow since Angel arrived so thought you might like a progress report. Angel has settled in very well, she's a lovely calm little dog. Angel likes a run in the campo but is very well behaved and never runs off too far or refuses to come when called. Its clear that her previous family spent time and trouble training her, she likes a routine and is always ready for her dinner around 6, she does not bother you at the table like some dogs will and is very good around our cat Suzi, though Suzi is a bit of a grumpy boots at times. This week she has met up with mad Jack from around the corner (see earlier post about him) She has also met Rocky the rescue dog on several occasions, think Rocky is in love! Angel is going to meet the local Vet Javier on monday as she has to be spayed, plus get a blood test.
Do get in touch with K9 if you think you can give Angel the loving home she deserves,

Angel moves in

We have been thinking about it for a while and on Saturday finally made the decision to give foster care to a dog. So while we were at the K9 animal rescue, La Marina animal welfare charity shop, we left our details with Brenda, later in the day we got a phone call to tell us that there was a dog that needed a temporary home, So yesterday morning Brenda from K9 club and the dog arrived. She is a medium sized dog called Angel and after a short while she is settling in well. Fostering a dog is an easy process and no expences need to be incurred as food, bedding and any vets fees are covered. It is a great idea for people who would like a dog or cat but cannot through other commitments have one permanently, and of course it is great for the animals as they have a caring environment while a permanent home is found for them.
