| PISA-LIKE PINE TREE IN PLAZA OF EL PORVENIR, NAYARIT |
PORVENIR, NAYARIT: The Ameca river flows from el Bosque de la Primavera (“Spring Forest”) for 230 kilometers before it empties into Banderas Bay. The river, whose mangroves are the natural habitat to crocodiles, separates the states of Jalisco and Nayarit. With heavy rains, some crocodiles are washed down the river and into the bay. Protected, they are captured and returned to the river. Sometimes as I drive north over the Ameca bridge, I think about that section collapsing during heavy rains at 2:30 in the morning about eight years ago. I don´t remember how many cars went into the river – two or three – but there were no survivors.

On December 19th I headed north, crossing over the río Ameca and then turning east at Mezcales. The morning sun shone brightly in my squinting eyes as I drove towards the foothills and Porvenir, the second small town after leaving the highway. The trip took about an hour, and the clinic was already full at 8:30. Volunteers reported pet owners had started arriving at the empty government building across from the plaza at 7 AM. Because we had run out
of kennels, dogs were being

tranquilized as they were held or standing next to their owners. Normally cats are sterilized before dogs, as it takes felines longer to come out of anesthesia. That day, it was dogs without kennels first.
A tall, quiet young man arrived with three black Lab mixes, one of which was emaciated. The man said it was a street dog that had followed them in. He agreed to sign for it, feed it after surgery and keep it overnight.

Linda Stewart, the very animated organizer of clinics in Nayarit, was holding an undernourished, young beige Chihuahua. At the clinic the day before, the owner had given her one-year old dog to Linda.

SHAKIRA THE XOLO – UPDATE: Her eleven puppies (the tiniest of the original twelve died a couple of days after birth) are now three weeks old and will be neutered and spayed at a PEACEAnimals clinic at approximately eight weeks. There are four females – 2 hairless and 2 fluffy ones and 5 hairless males and 2 fluffies. Mama Shakira, also for adoption, weighs 15-17 kilos. As her romeo is a German Shepherd, puppies will probably be a bit larger. If interested in meeting/adopting, please contact LADRA via FB. There will be adoption application forms to fill out.
