FIRST CICADA

FIRST CICADA




.

PANGA SUNDAY:  Far out in the Bay of Banderas ...the splash of two sear turtles.  Skimming the water and dipping into it for fish... blue footed booby birds, pelicans, terns, frigates and scissor birds - called that because of their split tail feathers.  No encounters of mantas or dolphins on June 4th. Swimming in the middle of the bay versus close to the shore, there is a greater awareness not only of the strong currents, but of sharing the watery part of the planet with life we cannot see.  Later in the mornnig, we stopped at a gorgeous beach for a swim in clear, blue-green water.  No one else was in sight - but the village has about 80 people living amongst palm trees - there is even a small school. We were surprised to see two cars near the beach.  They can be driven over a dirt road to the ranch and farm area of el Tuito a few months of the year.

Went by panga on another day with our two dogs for a swim, walk and lunch to a quiet beach with only one very small restaurant. A few people were having lunch at the white plastic tables and chairs on the sand.  Two of them were the daughter of my friend Gabriela Garcia and her boyfriend.  Half-a-dozen dogs sat nearby.  When I got home, Gaby told me her daughter had seen me and a "very fat dog" whom people were calling "carnitas"  (slices of beef).  I  replied to Gaby that it had been our dog, "Buster,"                             Silence.                                                  Laughter.

I had heard the same comments, and often hear those comments,   usually accompanied by slicing prime rib motions.

On Wednesday evening, I heard the first loud, electric click of a solitary cicada in our garden.  After seventeen years, what had been a nymph living underground off the juice of roots of trees,  emerged as a large insect ready to mate. The cicadas are the first promises of rain, and on Thursday afternoon, it sprinkled in centro Vallarta.  The cicada continued to click, but wasn´t answered.  More sprinkles on Friday and on Saturday, grey skies with forecast of rain on Sunday.


VILLAS DEL REAL - Thirty minutes northeast to a newish colonia filled with cement homes and offices.  No villas.  The clinic took place a block off of the busy avenida de los poetas, in a large bodega with a painted poison green wall.  On Wednesday, only seven pets were brought in.  On Thursday, when I was there, forty dogs and cats had been delivered, including seventeen that (Saint) Elena had collected from neighbors.  It was a hot day, and far from the bay, there were no breezes.

CENTRO DE ACOPIO:  A friend asked me to help find a dog for one of her former neighbors, so on Tuesday I drove Laura Quiroz to the centro the acopio (local pound). A female Pug had been found tied up to the front gate the night before and was looking very dejected in her small kennel.   Laura Quiroz decided that this dog would be perfect for her and her other senior citizen dog.  In the car driving back to Laura´s home, the Pug immediately began to wag her tail, snorted a bit and rearranged the towel in the back seat. It was an immediate transformation from a very sad dog to a very happy one.  Laura has named her "Macorina," whom she says follows her everywhere.

Also adopted at the acopio while we were there -a beautiful, female grey Pit Bull, to an attractive, young Mexican couple - the husband works at the SPCAPV.    The dog was performing jumps of joy with her new family in the acopio´s large, enclosed field.    T
