| IN MEMORY OF LUNA Luna came into my life three years ago. She was a tough gal and made sure everyone knew it. Taking her for a walk was like marching behind an automaton. Driving forward, her ears perked, she was ready to pounce on any squirrel, dog, cat or leaf that caught her eye. In April of 2007 Luna moved with me from Victoria, Canada to her home town of Guanajuato, Mexico, where she had originally been rescued from the street. She became a different dog. She had the freedom now to run around the 1/3 acre of fenced land and bark at whatever she wanted and whenever she wanted to, jump at the birds and squirrels and she actually made friends with all the other dogs that came to and went from the house. She still got into a good scrap now and then with her archenemy Lola. She became the matriarch to all the rescued puppies. They rolled all over her, bit her ears and licked her adoringly, all the while she just moved her head from side to side with great patience and tolerance. Luna was diagnosed with lymphoma three months ago. On May 9, 2008 she was euthanized with love and respect, without suffering and having experienced a wonderful last year of life being home again. |
| URGENT! We are now beginning to rescue dogs from the local "dog pound". This facility is horrific and sadly we are not able to rescue all the 50 dogs per week that are captured and killed. Please help us to rescue, treat and place some of these poor creatures. Any donation will help. |
