Sharon’s Appeal for
Noah’s Arc
"Three Rainbows"
" Oh dear,
that woman she's at it again!", I can almost hear you cry,
And I could nearly forgive you too, but then I've no option
but to try.
You see I'm that mad dog loving woman, behind the Sharon's
Appeals
Who can't look stray dogs in the eye and not offer them a few
meals!
Would I just be
dreaming, if I thought that a sad rescue tale or two
Could convince everyone to help me, bring the truth back home
to you?
So I've searched for some stories, not hard cos they happen
every day
Rescued sick, injured & treated, loved & helped happily on
their way.
Heidi had all but given up, was found painfully thin and so
weak
Carried to safety in loving arms, her future looked very bleak
She was having trouble standing, and had buckshot along her
spine
But when the vet examined her, thought best to heal & give her
time.
Then along
came the shuffling Paloma, she held her back leg aloft
A gentler nature you couldn't find, her heart & eyes so very
soft
An age spent walking on a broken leg, in pain and badly bent
X-rays revealed a way to break it and reset it how it was
meant.
 
The third tale is of a loving
mother, likely run over or hit by a car
Musa had damage to her leg too, and really couldn't walk that
far
She continued to feed her babies, gave them everything she
could
One by one they were rescued, they'll live a King's life as
they should.
So Noah's ARC they need our help,
this small excerpt from just one week
To carry on their special work, hence that's why your support
I seek
A dream is a wish our hearts can make, my heart makes a wish
of you
That you'll help me fund more rainbows, where rescue dreams
come true!
I will be fundraising to raise the money for
their medication & treatment - in addition to helping other
sick & injured dogs coming into the care of Noah’s Arc.
Everything raised will once again be match-funded by Morgan
Stanley International Foundation up to a maximum of £2,000 -
so there is the potential to raise a total of £4,000 by this
appeal.
I will also be coming out to Spain in October
for a holiday and will be doing a street collection and
further fund raising in the local area. I would very much
appreciate your support and hope to see you then.
These dogs need our help and together we really
can make their dreams come true!
Thank you. Sharon "Always for
the Animals"

DAINES
The second
newsletter in a week! I know, it's like
buses, you wait for hours and then 2 come
along at once:
I'm just sharing
the fab news that the auction of our CD's
for rescue dogs raised an amazing £155!!
Thank you to everyone who participated and
shared the link, the finale on Ebay was very
exciting with two bidders battling it out in
true warrior style! So here we go again, a
2nd auction has started for the same set of
CD's which can be signed on request.
Here is the
link -
http://tinyurl.com/2629mok
And while
writing I'd like to tell you about the new
video from DDAWatch currently climbing the
youtube charts and making an impact in the
campaign against Breed Specific Legislation.
As you know, dogs that 'resemble' a pit bull
'type' are often seized and destroyed under
the rules of the Dangerous Dogs Act,
regardless of the fact that they have never
acted dangerously. The Dangerous Dogs
Act will have its 20 year anniversary in the
UK in 2011. It is a law that does not
prevent dog attacks, yet it claims the lives
of countless innocent family pets and costs
millions to enforce, paid for by the
taxpayer! We hope to bring this issue to the
attention of the public by sharing the video
with as many people as possible and already
there are over 3000 views in less than 48
hours. If you would like to help, please
view and send the link below to your friends
and relatives.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFUe2caxPmo
More news! We
now have a CD singles download page and in
the coming weeks many songs that are not on
album collections will be available to buy
separately. So far 'Will You Be There?' and
'God Bless Jack' are released and proceeds
from 'God Bless Jack' will be donated to
Whitehall Dog Rescue in Wakefield, where
Jack was found.
http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/MariaDaines1
If you're not
familiar with Jack's story you can read the
case on the link below, but be warned it is
very distressing and we hope Jack's legacy
will be that funds will be raised so
that other dogs are saved in his memory.
http://www.whitehalldogrescue.co.uk/jackbless.htm
Thanks to
everyone who does whatever they can to make
a difference and wishing you all a happy
November.
Bye for now.
Best wishes
Maria & Paul xx

Greyhound Deaths
Spark Campaign
22.08.10
The Swindon Advertiser has published an excellent
article highlighting the recent death toll of greyhounds
forced to perform on Swindon dog track.
In July alone four greyhounds were destroyed after
sustaining injuries deemed uneconomical to treat and on
August 1st, Swindon dog track took its 5th victim in
just under four weeks.
Rackethall Kenny, Swift Abel, Day Two, Wots Er Name and
her sister Brizzle Bling – both only two years old - all
lost their lives in the name of entertainment and to
further bulge the wallets of the bookmakers.

In Memory of Clash Nitro & Rent A Flyer
12.07.10
 Today
marks the fourth anniversary of the slaughter of Clash
Nitro and Rent A Flyer who were caught on camera being
led to their deaths by David Smith at Seaham in County
Durham.
Yesterday,
supporters from Greytexploitations laid flowers and held
a minutes silence at the entrance of the smallholding
where the Sunday Times estimated 10,000 greyhounds had
been buried over a 15 year period.
Mr Smith
respectfully acknowledged their wishes and further
expressed how deeply sorry he was for the distress he
had caused as a result of his actions. Details of Mr
Smith’s remorseful account surrounding the exposure will
be published at a more appropriate time.
Today - let us
not forget Clash Nitro and Rent A Flyer and the
thousands of greyhounds who’s unnatural deaths go
unrecorded every year – simply to supply betting
‘units’ for the gambling industry.
Please light a
candle, take time to reflect and hold these innocent
and trusting souls in your thoughts…….

Letter of frustration from a Murcia Animal
Rescue Centre
A dog with a
rope around its neck wandered into offices in Cartagena,
right next to Catad.
A man working there decides to take it home with him to
Camposol - despite the fact that his family have tried to
adopt other dogs before and had to return to the Charity
from whence they came because his own dogs will not accept
other dogs.
So what does he do??????
Daily he
pesters all the local charities for help DESPITE the fact
that the dog was found in Cartagena and he KNEW it would not
be accepted by his dogs. All local charities have said they
cannot cope with a dog out of area - or are full up at
present.
The law in
Spain regarding found animals is "finders keepers". In other
words if you find the dog you have to make arrangements for
it welfare. He continues to refuse to take it to CATAD and
insists local charities should be responsible.
Where does
this man keep his brain?????????

FROM MARIA DAINES;
Dear all,
A quick note to say hi and hope you are all enjoying
summer! Here in the UK we're in the middle of the
first dry, sunny couple of weeks that we've had for a
long time so we're not complaining but heck it is hot!
Some news to share with you, we are
releasing a new CD this month, a collection of songs
for bull breed dogs that as you probably know, really
have a bad deal not only in the UK but all over the
world. These generally lovely dogs are discriminated
against because of a bad law called Breed Specific
Legislation, it means any dog that even looks remotely
like a banned breed can be confiscated, locked away
and even destroyed. So, we have an answer to that! Yes
a new CD entitled 'Not Guilty!'.
You can read about it on these two links, the full
press release is in the news section -
http://www.maria-daines.com/news.html
And the purchase info is on this link -
http://www.maria-daines.com/products.html
We hope the Not Guilty! CD makes an impact in helping
to raise awareness of the issues affecting these dogs
and all funds raised from sales will go to bull breed
rescue.
Our friend Bill created the art work and he's making
the CD's for us to keep costs to a minimum so I'll be
shipping mid July to give the poor man time
to make enough copies, and time to breathe if there's
a sales rush!
Thanks for any support you can give us
in sharing the news. We're also working on a new song
for a dog named Lennox and Lennox is a prime example
of why BSL must end, you can read his story here -http://www.savelennox.co.uk/

Death and Dissection ~
12.05.10
The Manchester Evening News has published an
excellent article exposing – yet again - the
continued destruction of greyhounds sustaining
injuries ‘uneconomical to treat’ and greyhounds
‘uneconomical to re-home’ at Belle Vue dog track.
Officials told M.E.N. journalist - Yakub Qureshi -
that in the last 12 months, Liverpool University
scientists had received 33 dogs from the stadium –
31 of these were put to sleep because of injury
and the two others put down because of aggressive
behaviour.
Please click here to read the full article and
details of how you can help.

"CLOSE TRACK" CALL AFTER ANOTHER GREYHOUND DIES
Long list of Belle Vue fatalities continues
An international
greyhound protection group has renewed its calls for
the closure of the dog track at Manchester's Belle Vue
Stadium, after learning of the death yet another
greyhound there.
Greylag Sophie, who was less than two years old,
collapsed and died suddenly at the end of a race last
Wednesday afternoon, following a collision with
another dog on the first bend.
The greyhound's death has led to increased support for
Greyhound Action's call for an end to dog racing at
the stadium, where the group's local supporters
already hold regular demonstrations.
Tony Peters, Greyhound Action's UK Co-ordinator, said:
"Greylag Sophie's tragic death is just one of a long
list of greyhound fatalities at Belle Vue Stadium. "We
were informed of the incident by an official at the
track, who has become increasingly concerned about the
suffering and slaughter of dogs caused by the
greyhound racing industry."
Just a few weeks ago, another young dog, called
Afflecks Palace, was 'put down' by the track vet,
after being seriously injured when he was knocked over
by another dog during a race.
Details obtained by greyhound protection campaigners
under the Freedom of Information Act indicate that
over 40 dogs are being 'put down' annually at the
stadium after suffering injuries there.
Thousands of injuries to greyhounds, many of them
serious, occur every year in Britain. The main reason
for this is that the shape of the tracks, with fast
straights leading into tight bends, creates a very
dangerous environment for dogs to run in.
In addition, hundreds of other greyhounds, bred
because of the demand created by Belle Vue, are put to
death as puppies or young dogs, before they even make
it to the track, after being judged unsuitable for
racing.
According to recent research, more than 12,000
greyhounds, bred for the British racing industry, are
'put down' every year, after failing to make the grade
as racers or when their 'careers' on the tracks come
to an end.
An RSPCA report on greyhound racing has stated that
'at least 20 greyhounds a day - either puppies which
do not make the track, or retired dogs aged three or
four - simply disappear, presumed killed'.
"Members of the public can help put an end to this
horrific situation by not attending dog tracks or
betting on greyhound racing, so this appalling
industry fades away through lack of financial
support."

can be viewed and downloaded (right click on picture)

It’s Official ~ Portsmouth Dog Track is now Closed!
30.03.10
After weeks of speculation, the Racing
Post has confirmed Portsmouth dog track will close with
immediate effect.
Eric Graham – Portsmouth General Manager
– had refused to speak to the media in recent weeks but
was forced to break his silence stating “I am bitterly
disappointed that we will not be able to continue with
greyhound racing at the stadium. It is particularly
galling given that I have struggled on through a
loss-making period with the thought that we would look
forward to a new lease and the summer period which would
have helped mitigate the loss”
The GBGB have announced funding will be
made available for the re-homing of dogs retiring from
Portsmouth, although many of the 200 dogs will go on to
race on other tracks - thereby displacing and forcing
slower dogs racing on those tracks onto the scrapheap.
Whilst it is the absolute responsibility
of the trainers/owners and the gambling industry to
ensure the welfare of all their greyhounds - commercial
greyhound racing demands they force that responsibility
onto the public, once their dogs are no longer of any
commercial use as gambling units.
The closure of Portsmouth is not simply a
local issue – the effects will be felt nationally and
will place further strain on the continually over
stretched independent greyhound rescues nationwide, who
receive no funding from the industry and depend solely
on the generosity of public donations.
Please forward the YouTube link below and
ask friends and colleagues to help support a greyhound
rescue group or to consider fostering or adopting a
loyal and loving greyhound ~ thank you

Many thanks – as always for your
support, care and compassion for the greyhounds

~ Snip Nua Update ~
26.03.10
Thank you to the hundreds of
supporters who emailed the BBC and voiced their
concerns over the broadcasting of Three Men Go to
Ireland/Three Men in a Boat.
A programme which inspired Philip
Peake – Mullingar dog track’s General Manager – to
proclaim ‘the visit of one of the BBC's top rating
programme's is not only great publicity for
greyhound racing and the Stadium but also with
other activities planned around the locality it's
a fantastic opportunity to showcase the region to
an international audience’
The BBC have now admitted to
Greytexploitations, they were aware of Snip Nua’s
destruction before the programme was broadcast but
have failed to provide us with a reason why they
chose not to acknowledge her death, by way of an
announcement prior to or at the end of the
programme and - at the very least - inform
complainants the BBC were aware of Snip’s
destruction prior to the programme being aired.
In the absence of any public
statement from either Dara O’Briain or the BBC,
and in light of the BBC’s failure to answer even
the simplest of questions regarding the untimely
death of Snip Nua, a series of peaceful
demonstrations are now being organised. Please
link to the full update for details of how you can
help.
Shortly after our last update the
Irish Mail on Sunday published an article
headlined ‘Dara’s dog starred in Three Men
after she was put down’. An article which the
newspaper claims ‘raises questions over the
treatment of animals in the world of greyhound
racing’

update including the excellent Irish Mail on
Sunday article and details of how you can help

Snip Nua ~ Rest In Peace (see article below)
Many of
you will already be aware, confirmation has
officially been received of Snip Nua’s
destruction at Harolds Cross dog track on
December 14th, after sustaining a broken hock,
in what we now know to have been her last and
fatal race.
Snip Nua,
at the tender age of 19 months, competed in just
7 races before she was deemed a financial
liability by her 16 affluent syndicate members,
to include the Business Editor of the Irish
Times – Frank McNally and of course, the ‘joker’
in the pack, Dara O’Briain.

Run
Fast ~ Run Free at Last
Did the BBC Callously Dismiss the Deaths of Two
Greyhounds?
~ Please Take Action ~ e-mail your disgust that
wealthy
people can do such a thing.
20.01.10
On New Years day the BBC aired another
shameful piece of pro racing propaganda – Three Men in
a Boat - and on a day when last year’s Christmas
Special achieved the BBC’s highest rating over the
festive period, with 5 million viewers.
The Three Men in a Boat – Rory McGrath,
Griff Rhys-Jones and Dara O’Brian – as part of their
travels across Ireland visit Mullingar dog track on
October 10th, to gamble on O’Brian’s jointly owned
greyhound, Snip Nua.
It has been alleged Snip Nua has since
been destroyed due to sustaining a horrific injury
prior to the BBC airing the programme. The fate of
Redwood Rio – who was badly injured during the BBC
sponsored race at Mullingar – remains unknown.

ACUDAME INFORMA
La Asociación
ACUDAME, de Mérida detectó –a principios de diciembre pasado-
un gran despliegue de cartelería anunciando un denominado Gran
Circo Royal, en la Ciudad de Mérida, muchos de esos carteles
diseminados por el Puente Romano.
Este circo
utiliza animales para su espectáculo y así se proclama en su
publicidad. Pero lo más llamativo es que en la parte superior
de los mismos se encontraba el “logo” del Ministerio de
Cultura.
La
representante en Madrid de la Asociación envió un escrito,
como mandataria de ACUDAME, al Ministerio de Cultura,
razonando en primer lugar por qué somos opuestos a la
utilización de animales por los Circos. Y, en su consecuencia,
planteando el asombro que nos producía la participación del
Ministerio en semejantes espectáculos, aparentemente
subvencionados por dicho organismo.
El Ministerio
ha informado a nuestra representante del modo siguiente:
Primero, agradece “el compromiso y la labor de la
Asociación…en defensa de los animales y su dignidad… Se trata
de objetivos que el Ministerio de Cultura comparte plenamente…
en (su) decidida apuesta por el Circo contemporáneo… en cuyos
espectáculos no se exhiben animales y (por) la exigencia a las
empresas de Circo tradicional de certificados que acrediten el
trato digno a los animales, con garantía de condiciones
adecuadas de salubridad y bienestar”.
A
continuación expresa que el INAEM (Mº de Cultura) no ha
concedido ninguna subvención al Gran Circo Royal y considera
injustificada la utilización del logo oficial del Ministerio,
por lo que expresa que tomará las medidas correspondientes.
Finalmente,
aunque lamenta el uso incorrecto del Patrimonio Histórico de
Mérida a los efectos de servir de apoyo a los carteles del
Circo, entiende que es ésta cuestión que corresponde al
Ayuntamiento.
La
comunicación finaliza así: “…Agradeciendo profundamente su
compromiso con el interés público, reciba un cordial saludo”.
Comunicación firmada por un Jefe de Área del INAEM.
Debemos
congratularnos tanto del resultado de la gestión que ACUDAME
ha realizado como –y esto no ocurre a menudo- por el agradable
trato otorgado por la Subdirección de Teatro y agradecemos
especialmente los párrafos del firmante al expresarnos su
sincero reconocimiento por la labor que –no sólo ACUDAME, sino
tantísimas personas y grupos- se realiza esforzadamente cada
día en la difícil labor del salvamento y contra el sufrimiento
animal.

PROBLEMAS CON PERRERAS? Problems with state dog
pounds? |
El Spain Animal Hub está intentando solucionar
un problema más con una
perrera.
No
estamos en absoluto contentos con las respuestas
recibidas hasta hoy, sin embargo, hay gente que por su amor
de los animales, no ve las cosas como son, cosas que
queremos cambiar y una actitud bélica y agresiva no sirve
para nada, al contrario, hace mucho daño al progreso.
Hay unas cosas que tenemos que decir que puede ayudar a
todos que intenta tratar con ellas.
Claro, nadie puede aceptar las condiciones y tratamiento de
los animales en la mayoría de las perreras. Pero, hay
que tener en cuenta ciertas cosas para evitar aún más
problemas.
Los empleados hacen el trabajo según el contrato y
bajo órdenes y no siempre son los culpables. Atacándoles o
insultándoles, no se consigue NADA.
Si
envían e-mails sobre animales para rescatarlos de las
perreras y hacen comentarios malos o con insultos,
evidentemente, van a excluirles, negándoles entrada o hacer
fotos y menos otros favores.
Hasta
que consigamos cambiar las cosas, hay que trabajar con
ellos conforme están las cosas. Aprovechando el trabajo en
común para tratar de educarles y ayudarles, en lugar de
generar más problemas.
El HUB sabe que esto no es fácil de hacer pero es el único
metodo al fin y al cabo para ganar la batalla. Las perreras
no son los culpables, es el gobierno y los ayuntamientos y
la policía que comparten la culpa. Repito, los empleados
actuan bajo contrato y órdenes.
Por
favor, tengan esto en cuenta si quieren
conseguir su cooperación.

Spain Animal Hub
is yet again trying to get a solution with a state dog pound.
In truth, we are
far from satisfied with the answers we are getting so far,
nevertheless, there are people, because of their love for
animals, don't see things as they are, things we all want to
change but a warlike & aggressive attitude don't help, in
fact, they hinder.
There are a few things we would like to point out that may
help those who try to deal with State dog pounds.
Clearly, nobody can accept the conditions and treatment of the
animals in the biggest number of these pounds, but there are
things to take into account to avoid agravating the problems.
The employees do
their work under a contract and following orders and are not
always the guilty ones. If you attack or insult them, you will
get nowhere.
If you send out
e-mails about animals for rescue from the pounds and make bad
comments or insults they will end up excluding you from entry
or taking photos etc. and you will certainly not get any other
favours.
Until we are able
to change things, we have to work with them under their rules
but bit by bit, they can be educated rather than giving them
problems.
The HUB knows that
this is not easy to swallow but it is the only way at the end
of the day to win the battle. The dog pounds are not the
guilty ones, it is the government, the councils and the police
who all share the blame. We repeat, the employees work under
contract and orders.
Please take this
into account if you want to achieve co-operation. |

This article is from the Leader A
judge in Granada yesterday took custody of a dog away from its
owner for systematically mistreating it. In a landmark case
for Spain. The man was first charged in 2007 when two
neighbours reported him for hitting the dog, a black-and-white
bitch called “Chica.”
“We saw him hit and kick the dog and
then grab it by the throat as if he was going to strangle it,”
one of the witnesses told local press.
The man is also alleged to have left the
dog for days in a space five centimetres wide between a closed
window and a grille and the unrepentant owner told the court:
“The dog isn’t bothered if I hit it. It’s just an animal.”
The cruel offender, identified only as P.
A. G., had been fined 720 Euros two years ago by the same
judge and after a series of repeat offenses, the animal’s
custody was granted to a shelter.

JUDGE FINDS A CASE AGAINST A DOG POUND
El magistrado de la

tenía en Sangonera la Verde (Murcia) allá por
2008.
Lo resume uno de los testigos que le fue con el
cuento al juez: "Había
perros muertos dentro de las instalaciones,
animales con heridas en estado de abandono, con
parásitos externos e internos (...)
He encontrado ratas
muertas en las jaulas. El hedor es insoportable.
En ocasiones he visto en las dependencias
cachorros muertos".
El auto de la Audiencia Provincial que abre una
investigación es del 13 de diciembre, pero el humo
se avistó mucho antes y el incendio tiene varios
focos. Proaniplant
recibió subvenciones
del Ayuntamiento de la ciudad
para "albergar, alimentar y cuidar" a los
animales. Entre los empleados que sufrieron lo
expuesto ante el tribunal, según consta en las
actuaciones,
hubo "malviviendo"
personas con discapacidad psíquica.

LA CONSELLERÍA DE AGRICULTURA DE VALENCIA
PRETENDE LEGALIZAR A LAS EMPRESAS PRIVADAS Y ACABAR CON LAS
ASOCIACIONES PROTECTORAS.
El PRÓXIMO 15 de Diciembre
la Consellería va a aprobar una modificación de la ley 4/94 en
la cual se legalizan a las empresas privadas y las
asociaciones protectoras se quedarán como meros residuos. TU
PUEDES IMPEDIRLO… YA ES HORA DE QUE SE NOS OIGA.
NO LES DES TU APOYO CON TU
SILENCIO Y TUS IMPUESTOS
ORGANIZA: FEDENVA: Federación para la Protección y
Defensa del Animal en la Comunidad Valenciana
La Consellería de agricultura quiere modificar la Ley 4/94, e
incluir a las empresas privadas con ánimo de lucro en la
recogida de animales abandonados, debemos oponernos a dicha
modificación por los siguientes motivos:
1.
Dejar
en manos de terceros que solo piensan en ganar dinero a costa
de las recogida de los animales abandonados, es muy peligroso,
dado el negocio que se esconde detrás de ello, y dada la
dejadez de los ayuntamientos, los animales recogidos son
exterminados en 10-15 días.
2.
La búsqueda de adoptantes de dichos animales también será
escasa, estando muchos condenados a muerte, ya que los
ayuntamientos lo dejan en manos de estos “empresarios”.
3.
Muchos ayuntamientos dejan en manos de las “empresas” la
atención veterinaria de urgencia de los animales atropellados,
torturados...) dándose casos en los que un animal que está
sufriendo no es atendido.
4.
En muchas ocasiones los ayuntamientos, insensibles al
problema, solventan la recogida de animales abandonados
negociando con estas empresas, olvidándose de los animales
allí albergados y las pésimas condiciones en que están hasta
su muerte.
5.
Hasta ahora, las asociaciones protectoras teníamos alguna
preferencia al convenir la recogida de animales abandonados.
Con esta modificación de ley, nos dejan en el mismo nivel que
las empresas por lo que es imposible que podamos concursar, ya
que las empresas de exterminio siempre ofrecerán el servicio
por cantidades inferiores a

TRIUMPH???
A court in Spain gave a man an
18 month prison sentence for kicking a dog to death.
The penalty clearly was not sufficient but at least the incident
didn't get ignored
¿TRIUMFO?
Un tribunal en España ha dado una sentencia
de 18 meses en la carcel para matar a un perro a patadas.
Mientrás la sentencia no era la suficiente, por lo menos el caso no
iba ignorado como antes.
*************** It
is incredible that the so called 'animal loving British' don't treat
Greyhounds much better than they do in Spain.
Es increible que los Britanicos, que con
orgullo dicen que pertenice a un nación de encantadores de los
animales no traten los Greyhounds (Galgos) mucho mejor que lo hacen
aqui en España.

EN MEMORIA DE MI BETOVI Y DE TODOS LOS QUE HAN
SUFRIDO Y SUFREN POR CULPA DEL SER HUMANO
Llegaste a nuestra vida
sin planearlo, un día abrí el correo de una compañera y te vi
estabas en la perrera de Cadiz te anunciaban como "goliat", en las
fotos se te mostraba como un pequeño caniche de color negro
abandonado en la perrera y apareció el "milagro" un adoptante en
Castellón, viajaste 24 horas y cuando llegaste a tu destino el
adoptante me llamo a decir que no te aceptaban por feo, viejo y
enfermo, en ese momento pensé que tenia un problema, pero hoy se que
fue una bendición y el destino que nos quería unir mi pequeño.
No podía ponerte a
viajar mas y te recibí en acogida en Valencia, y averigüe tu
historia, tu nombre no era goliat, era Betovi tenias 8 añitos, eras
de color gris, tu dueña había sido una mujer llamada carmen que
había muerto y su familia te había regalado a su cuidadora quien te
había maltratado y como "premio" a tu vejez te tiro a la perrera,
tenias el corazón muy grande, un soplo inmenso, sufrías de la
tiroides, la piel quemada por el frío,tos de perrera, un problema
hormonal, tus dientecitos podridos, las piernitas con fracturas
viejas y pesabas kilo y medio, pero acepte el reto y me decidí a
sacarte adelante, a los dos meses parecías una vaquita de lo gordo,
a pesar de tu mal genio y tu des confianza a los seres humanos, te
integraste a mi vida, a mis hijos y al malhumorado Octavio el otro
rey de la casa, con tus ojitos saltones, tu caminar torcido pero
ágil, tus orejitas que levantabas al ritmo de nuestras voces, tu
glotonería, tu mala leche a veces, tus carreras a esconderte cuando
escuchabas un ruido, tus ronquidos al dormir, tus toces
intermitentes, pero sobre todo con tu mirada de profundo amor que me
regalabas a cada minuto, tu compañía permanente, tu alegría, tus
besos y caricias que nos regalaste a diario, llenaste nuestras
vidas, nuestro hogar y hoy que te has marchado a descansar al mundo
de los santos, nos duele mucho tu ausencia, eras el resultado de la
maldad del ser humano reflejado en el maltrato de los demás seres
vivos en este mundo y la afirmación de que el amor que podéis
regalar es muchisimo si os damos una oportunidad, tu corazoncillo no
pudo aguantar mas, mi pequeño y adorado compañero, pero te llevaste
parte del nuestro, vivirás por siempre en nuestra memoria y te
estaremos agradecidos por habernos regalado lo que te quedaba de
vida. descansa en paz ángel mio, que te he querido mucho.
tu mama Pilar

The
Spirit Of A Greyhound
I was standing on a
hillside in a field of blowing wheat,
And the spirit of a Greyhound was lying at my feet.
He looked at me with kind dark eyes, ancient wisdom shining
through.
In the essence of his being, I saw such love there too.
His mind locked upon my heart, as I stood there on that day,
And he told me of this story about a place so far away.
As I stood upon that hillside, in a field of blowing wheat,
In a twinkling of a second, his spirit left my feet.
His tale put my heart at ease; all my fears did fade away
About what lay ahead of me, on another distant day
"I live among God's creatures now, in the heavens of your mind
So do not grieve for me my friend, as I am with my kind
My collar is a rainbow's hue; my leash is a shooting star
My boundaries are the
Milky Way, where I sparkle from afar
There are no pens or kennels here, for I am not confined
But I'm free to roam God's heavens, among the Greyhound kind
I nap the day on a snowy cloud, gentle breezes rocking me
And dream the dreams of earthlings and how it used to be
The
trees are full of liver treats and tennis balls abound
And milk bones line the walkways, just waiting to be found
There is even a ring set up, the grass all lush and green
And everyone who gaits around becomes the Best of Breed
For we're all winners in this place; we have no faults, you see
And God passes out those ribbons, to each one, even me
I drink from waters laced with gold, my world a beauty to behold
And wise old dogs form my pride, to amble at my very side
At night I sleep in an angel's arms, her wings protecting me
And moonbeams dance about us, just as stardust falls on thee
So when your life on earth is spent and you stand at Heaven's
gate
Have no fear of loneliness - for here, you know, I wait”
