Pippa!




pippa thinking she is getting dinner at our table! those big ears! she is an andalucia podenca breed, i think maybe something else mixed in there too! and she is small for the breed too, and they are normally used for gun dogs, when the hunter goes out with a new dog and fires the gun, if the dog bolts or crys out they just leave out there all alone to fend for themselves... thats why there are so many stray podenco roaming the sierras here, her mom was found giving birth on someones land and they then tried to home the 5 pups, the dog homes here are awful. in malaga it was the custom until only this year to put the dogs down once a week in a gas chamber, a horrific drawn out death, a hundred or so dogs at a time.

Love is something that begins when nothing is looked for in return...

forget me not... hopefully it will get better here soon, its a 2000€ fine for not have your dog or cat chipped, which is an excellant measure against people just abandoning their pets now.

honora... yes, a little chip slipped in under the skin, when they put it in she yelped my poor little baby! the needle looked like an old fashioned ink pen with a quill and the chip was in the quill bit and once inserted under the skin pushed out and in her!
