| LA PLAZA DE SAN SEBASTIÁN DEL OESTE |
“San Sebastián was founded as a mining town in 1605, during the early Spanish colonial Viceroyalty of New Spain period. Gold, silver and lead were mined in the area. More than 25 mines and a number of foundries were established by 1785. The town was formally established as a city in 1812.”

| COMO MEDIA HORA DE SAN SEBASTIÁN Y DONDE NOS PARAMOS PARA ALMORZAR REGRESANDO |
Today, The picturesque pueblo San Sebastián looks like a movie set for an old-style western. It is always clean and currently is pleasantly cool, with daytime temperatures in the mid-60´s.

| LLEGANDO A SAN SEBASTIÁN |
Sitting outdoors at night at the plaza, one hears the clippity-clop of the hooves of horses and then sees a ranchero returning home in his straw hat, sometimes with a rope hitched on to another horse carrying a couple of small children. At night, for the entire month of October, trumpeters playing music for rosarios walk through the quiet streets, followed by the towns people. Simple and beautiful and serene.
Originally scheduled by the presidencia of San Sebastián for the Casa de Cultura, the location for the clinics was changed last minute to the auditorium. There was nothing in it other than a cement stage and three workmen applying cement to the far wall. Twenty-three cats and dogs were sterilized on Wednesday, but the vet team had had time to do more.

| UNA COCKER DEMASIADO ENFERMA PARA ESTERILIZAR |
Wednesday and Thursday mornings, I did what I used to do in Vallarta – walk and drive around a village or neighborhood asking if people would like their pets spayed and neutered for free, plus treated for ticks, fleas, parasites and mange. I collected a female cat at a small grocery store and a sweet, reddish- brown Cocker mama and her two black and white puppies from a muddy yard. The owner of the dogs, a tanned man with a broken tooth in a sweat-soaked cotton turquoise shirt said he wanted to breed the female German Shepherd that was living in a bird aviary. Sadly, at the clinic the Cocker mama couldn´t be spayed as she had bloody diarrhea. The vets gave her a shot of antibiotics and said she might have parvo and therefore a 50% chance of surviving.

| SAUL REGISTRANDO MASCOTA EN S.S. |
We loaded him and two Black Labs and a Chihuahua belonging to the owners of la Quinta coffee factory into the truck and took them to the clinic. That evening walking back to the home where we were staying, I heard the loud howling of a puppy. The sounds were coming from the back of the house of the woman who “hated animals.” I walked to the back part of the property and saw a grey puppy with long, floppy ears in a muddy pen surrounded by chickens. There was the sound of mewing young kittens nearby.
 |
| MUCHACHA INDECISIOSA CON SU PERRO TRANQUILIZADO |
A policeman in a navy blue uniform strode purposefully into the auditorium to collect “Puma,” a blonde, tan Terrier-Doxie mix. His wife had given us permission to neuter their dog, but her husband was against it, and Puma left intact.

A pretty teen-age girl, encouraged by her friends who called out “take him, take him,” brought her male German Shepherd after much hesitation and cried as she left him behind for surgery.

| AVISO EN EL PUEBLO DE SANTIAGO DE LOS PINOS -NOTICE IN SANTIAGO REGARDING THE NEAR EXTINCTION OF THE JAGUAR. |
As there were only sixteen surgeries on Thursday, with the approval of the clinic sponsors, Sharon Tognietti and her husband Martin Weber, the vet team drove to Santiago de los Pinos on Thursday afternoon to set up for clinics there on Friday and Saturday. The 30-minute winding, green drive there Friday morning was very beautiful.

| MAIZ EN LAS COLINAS MUY INCLINADAS FUERA DE SANTIAGO DE LOS PINOS |
I had never before seen very steep, high hills covered in corn. This is difficult work in the planting and harvesting.

 |
| SANTIAGO DE LOS PINOS |
The population of San Sebastián is five-hundred persons. Santiago de los Pinos has a population of one thousand. The most prevalent responses from women and men in both places regarding free clinics were “Why? He is a male.” Or “No, I want her (or him) to have babies.”

| UNA HEMBRA QUE HABÍA DADO LA LUZ HACE UN MES – AFUERA DE LA PANADERÍA EN SANTIAGO DE LOS PINOS. FEMALE DOG THAT HAD GIVEN BIRTH 4 WEEKS AGO OUTSIDE THE PANADERÍA IN SANTIAGO. |
Considering these are ranch areas with small populations that have never been exposed to a spay/neuter campaign, we are all glad for what was accomplished. Next year will be better.
 |
| LOS TRAJE A LA CLÍNICA EN SANTIAGO PERO COMO FUERON MACHOS, EL PAPÁ VINO PARA ELLOS ANTES DE SU CIRUGÍA Y LOS REGRESO A CASA. PERO LO BUENO ES QUE REGRESÓ PARA ESTERILIZAR A LAS HEMBRAS. THE FATHER RETRIEVED THE PUPPIES BEFORE THEY WERE FIXED IN SANTIAGO, BUT RETURNED WITH HIS FEMALE DOGS FOR SPAYING. |
THANK YOU to board members Sharon Tognietti and her husband Martin Weber for sponsoring this clinic, for letting us stay in their wonderful home, for putting up posters and for asking the village priest to make announcements for the clinic; to Margarita, owner of el Fortin for treating the team to lunch on Wednesday; to Coco and Walter, owners of Monte Bello

RESCUED AND NEED HOMES: Shannon Beston, normally a cat rescuer, stopped by Costco on her way from the airport and saw a family holding a black Chihuahua up in the air. They said they were moving, couldn´t take the dog with them, and would leave it there. This is a sweet female dog that Puro Gato is now fostering. If interested, please contact Puro Gato via FB.

Troy reports that Rabbit´s skin condition has totally improved with antibiotics and mild pain meds are helping with his hip dysplasia. Troy´s vet is hopeful that with more weight gain and muscle mass, Rabbit´s hips will get stronger.
