STORMY TO BALMY


EN COMO 3 SEMANAS, EL CLIMA HA CAMBIADO DE TORMENTOSO A APACIBLE (PLAYA ROSITA)

In just three weeks, the weather has changed from stormy to balmy.  The late rains have left the jungles gloriously green and the cool rivers are still rushing with water.

The bay is a gorgeous, clear Mediterranean blue with a temperature of about 80 degrees Fahrenheit and the first whales of the season have been spotted.  All is bliss!





PRIMERAS BALLENAS HAN LLEGADO - BAHÍA DE BANDERAS


The Saturday market opened the first week-end in November to heavy crowds of northerners.   Although many of the vendors are nationals, the majority of shoppers are not.  Good food, produce, flowers, and some nice clothing, jewelry and some handicafts, etc.

All animals must have spent two weeks in a foster home before becoming available.  Adoptions first week: 4 cats from PurrProject; 1 cat; 1 puppy; 1 small dog; and 1 large dog from CAAAM (local shelter formerly called centro de acopio).

IXTAPA is a town in the municipality of Puerto Vallarta, approximately a 30-minute drive from centro.  The clinic took place where it always does - in a long, rectangular white brick storage area next to the local government offices  Across from the main plaza and around the corner is a modern and uninteresting looking Catholic church. 
REGISTRANDO MASCOTAS - IXTAPA


Every Wednesday a "tiangis" (flea market) takes place in Ixtapa on several of the surrounding streets of the plaza.  Biggest item is the used clothing that is hung on fences, but there are plastic toys from China, some tools, a stand selling pineapples and fresh orange juice, and a small collection of potted plants.


The pet kennels were all full when I arrived at 8:45 AM Wednesday, our first day.  A wizened, older woman wearing a brightly colored, diagonally striped shirt and dark sunglasses was silently weeping at the back of the storage area.  
DUEÑA CON SU PERRITA RESCATADA CON TVT.
(TUMOR TRANSMISIBLE VENEREA - QUE ES CANCER)  
The genital area and abdomen of a young, pretty black female Lab-mix lying next to her were covered in enormous malignant tumors.  The grieving woman had rescued the dog too late to save it from advanced TVT (transmissible venereal tumor).  The dog was humanely put to sleep at her request.  Spay/neuter isn´t just about non-procreation.  TVT (the tumors are malignant) is common throughout Mexico and non-existent in the U.S. and Canada.

THANK YOU TO OUR GENEROUS SPONSORS:  

            

  








HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL WHO ARE CELEBRATING THIS HOLIDAY. 

 On October 3rd, 1863, at the height of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln issued a Thanksgiving Day proclamation.  His words still resonate:  

"...  fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty hand to heal the wounds of the nation, and to restore it, as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes, to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity, and union."
