No to hunting with Galgos and other breeds – photos from the anti-cruelty anti-hunting demo in Arrecife, Lanzarote on 4th February 2018.
Pet owners in Lanzarote who lost a beloved pet, have had until now no option to give their deceased pet a decent and dignified send-off. If your pet died at the vets or was found dead in the road, it will be sent to the municipal animal crematorium in Arrecife and chucked in with all…
I wrote a post on Canna-Pet’s natural cannabinoids back in September last year and how they have helped my boy Spider, and thought I would write a quick update on how he is doing now. Spider has been on Canna-Pet for about a year now, and the adenocarcinoma that my vet removed from his ear a…
I had the pleasure of meeting the friendly feral street cats that live all over Jerusalem whilst on my trip there in April of this year. Now you can enjoy my new 2017 calendar which has 13 beautiful images of these cats, and makes a great Christmas present for both cat lovers and animal photography aficionados….
I bought this lovely pet blanket at our local Lidl here in Puerto del Carmen yesterday, but after only one day of use, it looks like *this*, can you believe it?! The material is obviously totally unsuitable for use with pets, and after only one day it looks like it is a few months old. When I…
Read my latest article on Dogster… Scooby North America Rescues Galgos Dogs in Spain and Finds Them Homes in the U.S. Few breeds of dogs have to endure the same kind of hardship as the Galgo Español (Spanish Greyhound). Galgos are extremely gentle and calm; get on fantastically with young children, other dogs, and even…
On my trip to Jerusalem last week, I wasn’t prepared how many wonderful kitties I would meet – I almost didn’t miss my own 3 rascals at all (but don’t tell them!). On the 3rd day of my holiday, I also got the chance to do a bit of volunteering at the JSPCA (Jerusalem Society…
The Mad Cat Lady betrays her cat husbands Lugosi & Spider with…. A DOG!!!! In an hour or so the whole internet will talk! :O This Podenco doggie is called Chica, and even though she´s not a cat… she´s the sweetest thing and, cat lady or not, you just can´t help not loving her. 🙂
Finally! A useful website that will help you make a denuncia regarding mistreated or abandoned animals in Spain! Here in Lanzarote and the Canary Islands it´s particularly bad because nobody seems to be enforcing the law. The site is in Spanish only. http://yodenuncio.pacma.es/
Our local animal shelter had an open day today to promote adoptions of pet dogs and cats. The event was incredibly well attended, but as I am more interested in socialising with kitties (and dogs too, but they tire me out too much!), most of the photos featured here are of — yes you guessed…
I want you to meet Dylan Kendall, a professional cat rescuer & talented artist! In her spare time she helps rescue and find homes for homeless four pawed cats. Most recently, she was able to trap a starving kitten by her home who spent an entire night crying for help. All it took was a…
This man is a true hero. People like him give me hope for mankind. I want to hug him and thank him so much for staying by this dog´s side. *sniff* Sadly, the dog didn´t make it, his injuries were too severe, but he knew until the end that someone *cared*.
Yesterday afternoon I saw an elderly woman let her little black dog do a huge shit on the pavement of a busy street near the Biosfera Shopping Center, Puerto del Carmen, and then nonchalantly walk on without cleaning it up. I accosted her, asking her in Spanish if she could please pick up the dog…
As a dog owner you have certain responsibilities. Being a pet owner there are things that need to be done to ensure your furbaby´s happiness and good health. However, have you thought of the happiness of the people around you when it comes to your pooch? Chances are you haven´t, if you leave your…
