Quijote                                           
5 December2007                                            

I lördags eftermiddag åkte jag till kliniken i Torre del Mar för att hämta Quijote, min Galgo som varit där i en vecka. Jag fann honom att vara gladare, bättre på alla sätt, utom fara tack vare vården han fått av Pedro och Maria, de två veterinärerna på kliniken. Han hade lidit av undernäring, varit uttorkad och allvarlig lunginflamation, vilket upptäcktes när det gjordes en röntgen på lungorna.

Han är nu här med oss på La Higuera, han får daglig vård, mycket värme och endast korta promenader för han måste vila, han får god mat (han äter två gånger om dagen) och han får massor av kärlek.

Så de senaste nyheterna om Quijote, Galgon som blev räddad från hägnet i Granada, tack vare David och Sylvia och alla barnen i musikklassen i en skola i Murcia.

Dom bröt upp sin spargris och betalade € 40 för att få ut Quijote därifrån, vilket räddade hans liv så att han inte blev avlivad förra måndagen.

Saturday afternoon, I went to the Surgery in Torre del Mar to pick up Quijote, my Galgo who had been there for a week. I found Quijote extremely cheerful, a lot better in every way, out of danger thanks to the very good care he had been given by Pedro and Maria, the two Vets in that Clinic. He had been suffering from severe undernourishment, dehydrated, and a very severe pneumonia which was discovered by an XRay of the lungs.

He is here, with us, at La Higuera, daily care, a lot of warmth, very short walks in the sun because he needs a lot of rest, good food (he eats twice a day) and I add a lot of love.

So, these are the latest news of Quijote, the Galgo saved from the Pound in Granada, thanks to David, Sylvia and all the children in the music class of a school in Murcia

They broke their piggy bank open to pay the € 40 to get Quijote out of there, allowing him to live and not to be killed last Monday, as were more than 8 other dogs.

My beautiful little Galgo with the lovely eyes…..saved from the "Granada Refuge"…..(I have already told you about this famous " Animal Protection Society" which, every Tuesday morning, sacrifices, as do many Municipal Establishments in Spain, all of the dogs picked up in various villages and towns as they don't have any Centers for the animals)
 
So, he arrived at La Higuera this Sunday afternoon, in a very bad state; he was saved by Sylvia and David…..
 
Please look, the photos speak for themselves.
 
On Monday morning he will be taken to a Vet…….
 
He has just accepted a little bit of food….just a bit…..this morning he will come to walk with me in the mountains that the Galgos love so much!
 
David is Professor of Music near Jaen; his students have decided to open a piggy bank with the aim of saving dogs from death…So far, 5 dogs have been saved thanks to those children.
 
In the near future, I shall present this Music Class to you, these children who don't hesitate to donate a bit of their money in order to give these dogs the opportunity to find love in a new family.
