| BEFORE THE CHARRO PARADE |
The storms always arrive at night. Afternoons cloud over and by early evening, clusters of nimbus clouds transform themselves into cumulonimbus clouds and dark grey veils of rain can be seen falling on the horizon. Window-rattling crashes of thunder, accompanied by bright flashes and serpentine lighting make for a thrilling night. In the early mornings, fluffy clouds are pink and peaceful over Banderas Bay. September hurricanes in the Pacific have kept Puerto Vallarta cooler and wetter than usual. Everything is green green green.

PALMAR DE HARAMARA CLINIC
 |
Colonia Palmar de Haramara is a very nice neighborhood located just southeast of the cruise ship terminal with leafy green parks, tree-lined cobbled streets, and like most neighborhoods, has lots of cats and dogs. Candace Shaw, who generously donated her charming home for the clinic, said people were at her door with their pets at 6:30 AM on the first day and kept arriving that early for the remainder of the surgery week. One woman traveled by bus from Bucerias with her six cats in a box. Because the clinic was already full, Candace let the cats overnight so they would be insured a space the following morning. Another woman had taken three dogs belonging to a neighbor and had been turned away twice at the Valle Dorado clinic and at 7 AM, was too late to get a space for them. Again, Candace let the animals do an overnight. Because people were turned away every day of the clinic, Candace offered to host a second one the week after next.

A young boy with braces appeared at our door on Tuesday to say that two little puppies had been dumped in front of his grandmother´s small grocery store. I wanted to say that the only thing he could do would be to contact animal rescue groups. Instead, I went to see them. The female had a little pink ribbon tied around her neck and both puppies were clean, but thin and still had puppy breath. I bundled them up and took them to Dr. Peña´s for tests, vaccines,
