On my way to work today, we saw a small black chihuahua type dog running in the middle of the road, so we immediately stopped to see if we could catch her. We didn't need to! As soon as I opened my car door she jumped onto my lap, as if to say "Let's go!"
As I was running late, we had no time to think, so she came with us to Tortosa. Dean took her to Petjades Tortosa (the old ARCA building) to be scanned for a chip by Ross, but unfortunately she didn't have one.
She came back to the academy where I work and met some very friendly adult students and had lots of fussing. Local people kindly shared her picture, but in the meantime we had no choice but to take her home to meet some of the dogs.

Bonnie was amazed to see a dog even smaller than herself, and Barney must've looked like a giant by comparison!

Luckily, her owner heard of the Facebook posts and contacted us. He was extremely happy to have her home after her tiring adventure and asked her if she had liked her new 'family'!

Oh, and it turns out her name is Laika, not Pooki as I'd been calling her! She still looks like a Pooki to me though!

Today Cacaolat told us that it was time for her to go and join her kennel mates, Stella and Cora over the rainbow bridge.

Since being diagnosed with severe renal failure over four years ago, Cacaolat fought with all her strength to stay with us and gave us years of puppy energy, but this morning it was finally her time.

Sweet dreams, dearest puppy Cacaolat. You were a precious soul filled with energy and love, and we will all miss you until the day we meet again.

Barney's all tired out from playing with his toys. Bless him!

Yesterday the hunter brought us a galgo puppy that was surplus to his requirements. Unfortunately, our galgo specialist is currently full, so Chico will stay with us until he can see the ARCA vet on Wednesday for a health check and to see exactly how old he is.
He's such a friendly boy, who has a real smile when he sees you and loves doing zoomies. Someone will be very lucky to have him!

Oh! Hey there, little dinosaur! 😘🦎

Pecan cookies and a steaming cup of camomile tea it is then!

The dogs were all going crazy, so we went to investigate. We didn't expect to find an enormous vulture on the casita roof! Poor thing must have become disoriented in the gale force wind and landed to rest.
It flew away shortly after, thank goodness!

Brrr!

Our followers may remember that, every year, a local hunter 'gifts' us a galgo that is surplus to his requirements. Although we hate hunting with a passion, we would rather he brought the dogs to us than 'dispose' of them by other means (some evil people throw them down wells or leave them to hang from branches) so we always take the dogs off his hands.
Today he brought us Alcom, a lovely three-year-old male, who has already been collected by our dear friend Ann Smet for possible adoption, hopefully to Belgium.
He said he will see us again next month with another galgo...

Last night's sunset.

To say we're angry would be an understatement. Someone just left a crate of five puppies outside our finca, right next to a track used by huge gravel lorries. They can't be any older than three weeks and they are cold and hungry and should be nursing with their mother. Sometimes I despise humans.

Look who we found today! This beautiful Hermann's tortoise was causing havoc with our dogs, so we scooped him/her up for safety. Hermann's tortoises are very rare to find in the wild due to poaching, farming and predators and are considered an endangered and protected species, so we are very privileged to have seen one! After a brief rest and a supper of lettuce from the veggie patch, we will be releasing this little one back into the wild, safely away from the pack.
