No update on Remi which is bad (no adopter) and good (not sick) but at least here something to cheer up your week.
I am busy with my own sick and old dogs and so often it's a waiting game to see if the meds work or not and then go back and reevaluate. My patience is stretched pretty thin and I knew it was trending that way.

I only can rescue if I find adopters. And I have been stuck for a very long time.

Showing you a little update on Mauricio who has been with me for 4 years now. We make progress with his challenges very slowly as I am a working mom and have many more dogs. But he fits with my pack and his bad traits are easy for me to cope. I don't have a clean house anyway and it's not important for me, I have a handicapped dog without control over bladder and bowel, an older dog who seems to loose control over his slowly, so finding Mauricio's occasional accidents and stress markings isn't the worst. Whenever I see him doing it outside in the garden, he gets a ton of praise and I think over the last 2 years he did his business like a dozen of times on our walks. Hurrah to my adorable stinker.

Here is the founder of Tierra de Animales being honored of citizen of the Year 2024. Maybe some other citizen can help him with his daily struggle to feed and care for all of the animals in his care. The struggle is real and he needs all the help that he can get

If you all think I dropped out of rescue, it couldn't be further from the truth. I have my hands full with dogs that haven't been adopted, one that I added to my pack as he harmonizes, one who sadly needs extra attention, extra space and extra time all of which I try to give her but at cost of helping another sentenced to death case.
So if you are all into rescue please please help me find Remi a home. Please

I am not posting often about Pebbles in his album here, as I said before be became my dog many years ago, but as many helped me in the beginning with the cost of care and getting his wheelchair, here a short update.
He is battling for a while now with recurring bladder infections and he is in repeated treatment with a variety of antibiotics. We just recently did a cytology to rule out malign growth which luckily does not seem to be the root cause. Picture of the test result in comment.

Diese Tage jährte sich die Rettung von Remi zum zweiten Mal. Es ist traurig zu sehen, dass ich niemand finden kann, der das passende Zuhause für sie ist und heute hab ich mal darüber geschrieben, wie es sich anfühlt und hoffe immer noch, dass sich durch das passende Netzwerken ihr Perfekter Mensch sie findet.

Teilen erbeten. Hilfe willkommen.

Remi got her own post on my blog and she continues to be up for adoption. Please help me find her a home that is perfect for her. I am just her initial rescuer not her forever home

I just recently started to argue with an FB friend over a video she shared. I got lucky and,she,deleted it.

Distress or illness, I see many called "cute" videos where the dog has knee problems or a neurological disorder or being scolded and they do avoidance behavior. https://www.facebook.com/share/Lxx6GSMApiTTvM6V/?mibextid=TrneLp

Very interesting stuff here.

Did you know that 1 out of 5 videos of animals on Tik Tok show an animal in distress? Many of those videos are shared on Insta and Facebook, too.

Videos of animals in distress get billions of views. Why are people sharing them?

Is it because people think they are funny? Is it because they don't know better?

We would urge everyone who loves animals to think carefully before sharing videos.

Can you help with $$$$. I know Rosalind Gimes and the Roz's Kitty Kottage and vouch for them 100%

Negris is one of 9 dogs that I’ve helped in the past (and continue to help) with food and sterilization in the town of Guadalupana located near Roz's Kitty Kottage. They are street dogs, but are cared for by a lovely humble family.

Even though Negris was spayed a year ago, she contracted the highly contagious disease TVT (a sexually transmitted disease) before she was spayed. 😖

‼️Now, Negris will need a minimum of 6 weekly chemotherapy treatments to cure her of this deadly disease.

I will take her to her weekly treatments, but I am struggling with the necessary funding to help her.

🙏🏻I am asking - pleading - for financial help - Negris and I would greatly appreciate it. 🩷

🔬Her first chemotherapy is scheduled for Tuesday and weekly thereafter, until she is completely cured.

💰Each injection costs $1,400 pesos ($75 usd or $100 cdn).

🩷Any donation - no matter how small - are greatly appreciated!

‼️TOTAL NEEDED: $8,400🇲🇽
($450🇺🇸/ $600 🇨🇦)

Meet Remi, the charming bundle of energy you never knew you needed! At around 14 kg of pure joy and mischief, this four-year-old dynamo is vaccinated, healthy, and ready to brighten your days. Remi's idea of fun involves endless games with toys and making new human friends—she's basically a four-legged comedian with a PhD in Playfulness.

While she prefers to be the star of the show (i.e., the only dog and definitely no cats), she's got leash-walking down to an art form, especially when treats are involved. So, if you're looking for a loyal companion with a playful spirit and a flair for fun, Remi is your girl!

For my friends in rescue more South for preparation of hurricane Beryl if you have neighbors who need to shelter with their animals.

The small picture shows Pebbles in June 2014 when he got rescued and his first visit to the vet.
We went today, because despite several treatments against his bladder infections, feeding advice and better control of water I take, he still has blood in his urine.
This time I am happier with the examination and he got xrays, ultrasound, urine test and microscoping the urine. Plenty of stuff floating in the bladder, plenty of cells in sample as well as leucocytes and bacteria and also protein. This may be caused by the special formulated diet I have been giving him for about 9 months upon vet. advice to prevent bladder stones. Just turns out that one has a super high protein percentage. So now changing to another one and doing a super expensive antibiotic treatment and continuing with supplements as I did before (cranberry, vitamin C).

Happy 10th anniversary Pebbles, the cutest snorer in my house.

Helping isn't only for rescuers. We have it in our genes, but we're learnt in life to ignore it or move past.

I don't know what I am going to do with my rescue attempts as there is little help with what I need even when I directly ask for it.

But this morning at least it worked. I walked my dogs, I found this little not so new hatchling on the floor. Went back without dogs and some water to find the nest, which was about 3 meters in a tree just above. So went to search my neighborhood for a neighbor who has a ladder, again lucky and the son of them even helped me to put the little wee thing back.

Not so sure if we'll have a happy end, but at least we did all we could to give the bird a chance to make it.

Edit: checked on it an hour later and realized, it wasn't the right nest. So now had to get the big ladder and with the help of our security guard, hopefully the right spot now. I saw a bird flying in and out of this old termite nest

Absolutely, and I truly dislike rescues that aren't able to connect these vital parts of rescue. Without the initial rescuer, the rescue org wouldn't have a dog and the adopter neither.
This is the main reason why I struggle to help more dogs as this chain is broken
