There is often a solitary, white puff of a cloud on the horizon early in the morning when I look out of our bedroom window. By the time I arrive at Conchas Chinas beach, rose-gold clouds are being born over the Sierra Madre foothills to the south.

LAS LOMAS DE COAPINOLE: A 35-minute drive northeast, winding up to a largely rural area close to the foothills of the Sierra Madres.
Two blocks away is a large unmown and unfenced playland/park with a cluster of mature mango trees. Two small black chickens and a rooster pecked at the earth and half-a-dozen docile bulls and a brown calf grazed in the high grass neat the goal post. |

DONATIONS AT CLINIC EN PALMAR DEL PROGRESO - SEPTEMBER 4-7 - 1,180 PESOS
STERILIZATIONS AT CLINIC IN COLONIA LAS LOMAS DE COAPINOLE OCTOBER 12-15:
Female dogs: 62; Male dogs: 19; Female cats; 34; Male cats: 22
There is usually a substantial discrepancy between male dogs and female dogs sterilized in Mexico. The concern is not always for the female dogs that will be impregnated, but showing a photo of a dog with TVT (transmissible veneral tumor) wrapped around its genitals sometimes helps convince an owner to neuter his pet. The discrepancy isn´t as great regarding the cats we sterilize, as many of them come from cat rescue organizations that understand males and females need to be fixed in order to reduce the huge overpopulation of pets here in Mexico.
TOTAL:137
ABORTOS/TERMINATED PREGNANCIES: 25

ADOPTED! On Tuesday, I took my friend William Goodloe to the Acopio for the second time. With its added-on airy kennels and large, fenced-in grassy space for running and cavorting, it looks quite wonderful. After showing us a few tan, medium-size female dogs, which is what William was most interested in, Manuel, dog trainer extraordinare, told William he had the perfect dog for him - "very sweet female, very clean and doesn´t need a lot of exercise." At the Acopio for four months, "Minelli" had been hit by a car, brought to the Acopio and put into quarantine while her paw was wrapped and the bones mended. William is mulling over a new name for his pet.

If interested in adopting a cat or dog, there are many wonderful ones to choose from at the Acopio. Manuel works with all the animals and can advise on personalities, which dogs are good with cats and other dogs, which dogs need the most exercise, which cats don´t get along with other cats, etc. Open Monday-Saturday. 293-3690 CURRENT PHOTOS OF SOME OF THE DOGS FOR ADOPTION CAN BE SEEN ON THE FACEBOOK PAGE OF DOGS FOR LIFE.
VALLARTA ADVENTURES DOG ADOPTION WALK: Patricia Meneses, organizer, advised that the dog walk will take place every other Friday at 7 PM. The starting point is in front of MacDonald´s on the north end of the malecón and continues to los arcos and back. Rescue dogs for adoption will be wearing neon green jackets that say "Adoptame."
