| REGISTRANDO MASCOTAS - LA COLONIA - IXTAPA |
IXTAPA-Driving to San Sebastián, one passes the municipality of Ixtapa and its large prison next to the road. The clinic took place in the tercer edad (senior citizen) small, white cement building in "la Colonia" ("colony" or "neighborhood"). "The Colony" was what the then upscale neighborhood was called during the heyday of the Montgomery Fruit Company, a subsidiary of United Fruit Co.

Leaving the clinic, two distressed-looking young women stood near the gate, both holding dogs on ropes. The small black female dog was thin and the short, tan plump dog was pregnant. A bus driver on the road from a nearby disinfranchased community had let them board. The women had arrived after fifty animals had been registered and vet team didn´t want to accept more. I asked a volunteer named Samantha if she had a car. Yes. I gave her gas money and she confirmed she would pick dogs upThursday after the clinic closed, overnight them and owners would collect Friday following surgery.

A DOG´S NEW LIFE: There was a face mask check on May 25th when I drove across the state line between Jalisco and Nayarit, but none two days later. From Vallarta, it´s 45 minutes to the pretty beach town of Bucerias in Nayarit. Amy Welch, treasurer of PEACEAnimals, and I met there to visit A Dog´s New Life, the shelter that opened two months ago.

| RÍO CUALE - 30 DE MAYO
A young crocodile was spotted downriver close to Oscar´s restaurant, where the cuale flows into the bay. Children splash around in the river there, so a crocodile could be a bad surprise. As they are protected in Vallarta, it will be transported north to the mangrove area, not far from the airport.
