Mostly it rains at night, but early on Saturday afternoon, my family and I got caught in an enormous downpour at the big, beautiful Palo María waterfall. It cut short the time for jumping off dark grey granite cliffs into the deep, cool pool where fish swim.

| ON RIGHT - GRANDSON JAMES, 11, PREPARING TO JUMP - PALO MARÍA WATERFALL - PREPARANDO BRINCAR - MI NIETO JAMES, 11 AÑOS (DERRECHA) - CASCADA DE PALO MARÍA |
The 30-45 minute climb to the waterfall is on an appearing and disappearing trail, clambering over rocks and boulders and stopping to swim in a natural pool in the middle of the jungle before arriving at a perfectly beautiful place for a swim. Bold locals scale the cliff to the first large cascade and jump into the water far below.
On Tuesday, Hurricane Dora was downgraded to a tropical storm for Puerto Vallarta. The night was a drenching rain, sizzles and slices of bright lightning and rolls and booming thumps of thunder almost directly over our heads in centro. Dazzling beauty!

| PELEO DE PERROS - YA ES ILLEGAL EN MÉXICO. LA LEY ES BUENA PERO VA A SER DIFÍCIL ENFORCARLA. |
MISCELLANEOUS ANIMAL NEWS: In June, Mexico made it illegal to raise and train dogs for fighting. Owning, transporting, purchasing or selling a dog or dogs for fighting, plus organizing, staging, promoting or sponsoring dog fight events, is also illegal. Breaking the new law can mean up to five years in jail, with fines ranging from 15,098 to 150,980 pesos (approximately $830 to $8,300 USD). Although this animal protection law is a good one and is greatly needed, enforcement will be difficult.
I answered the door bell this week to find an attractive, young Mexican man wearing fashionably torn levis and holding a large cardboard box with the top closed. Accustomed to the occasional visit of someone with a litter of kittens, I asked if it was a "present" for me. The man didn´t answer, but opened up the box. Inside was a blinking, reddish- brown baby squirrel that he had just seen fall from a branch. My husband was out with the car, so I asked the rescuer to take the squirrel to the closest vet clinic and I would pay the bill. X-rays confirmed that unfortunately the little squirrel´s spine had been fractured, and it was euthanized.
Squirrels scamper nimbly across telephone wires in town, and I hear them chattering high up in trees in our garden where dogs and cats can´t catch them. One can usually see or hear them on the isla cuale, where they are currently enjoying the summer mangos.
MOJONERAS: A thirty.minute drive on highway 200 north to the Corona beer sign, turning inland and passing the large bus station where different lines leave for all parts of Mexico. The neighborhood can be a rough one at night, but during the day it is quiet and after the rains, wasn´t dusty this week.
After a year´s absence, we returned to the small "delegación," where curious children gathered daily to watch surgeries.
When I was there on Saturday, four cats were brought in rusty bird cages - better cats in cages than birds. A calico cat escaped from a wooden crate after clawing her red lipsticked-owner, who was able to retrieve her. Four weeping women huddled next to a twelve-year old Dachsund with a bloody paw due to a malignant tumor. At the owner´s request and Dr. Poli´s consultation that the suffering would get worse, the dog was euthanized.
Across the road, a smiling young girl in white posed in her fancy first communion dress and gloves.

DONATIONS TO PEACEANIMALS:
EDUCATION PROGRAM - None for this past week. Leslie Caratachea was on vacation.
LAILA SOS FUND: I did go back looking for Juanita´s Lab-mix friend in Paso Ancho, and found him lying on top of a pile of dirt in a vacant lot. I took him to Dr. Tamayo´s, where he was bathed and tested for diseases. He has ringworm, which produced a secondary skin infection, and was a strong positive for erlichia. Untreated, erlichia ultimately kills most infected dogs. Ninety percent of street dogs suffer from this disease, which can be transmitted by a single tick bite. Erlichia ultimately killed Laila. Reduced charges from Dr. Tamayo for Negro: 1,580.15 pesos
