An incredible Journey with GRIN. Un increible viaje con GRIN!

I remember when Telma from GRIN mentioned to me that 2 dogs were going to the States in adoption. That wouldnt it be nice if I could go back with her. I totally agreed since I know the work that Telma does and GRIN, and where I can lend a hand I will.


Me acuerdo cuando Telma de GRIN me comento que ellos iban a llevar 2 perros que ha conseguido un adopcion en los estados unidos y que seria guay si puedo ir me de vuelta con ella, con los perros. Yo sin pensar dijo que si, porque entiendo el labor el trabajo que Telma hace y GRIN tambien. Donde puedo ayudar, lo haré.

The journey plans changed and Telma asked me one day if I would consider the journey myself taking the 2 dogs. I said yes, it would be a pleasure to help. Dioni stayed behind to care for our galgo family with the help of the children.

Los planes cambiado y Telma un dia me pregunto como me sentiria si yo me hago el viaje sola con los 2 perros. Le dije que si, porque Dioni se encargara de los galgos que tenemos con los niños, por su puesto!


As the date become closer I became aware that the dogs were of my friend Tina Galgos del Sol Murcia, which made the journey even more special. But where there is needed help, I will always endeavour to do what I can. No matter where.

la fecha se acerco y me entero que los perros eran de Tina, una amiga mia de Galgos del sol Murica. haciendo el viaje mas especial. Pero donde necesitan ayuda hago lo posible siempre de hacer lo que puedo. No importa donde.


It was a real pleasure to take this journey, to see the magic in the families eyes as they received their new additions to their family. To see the waiting team all excited and that their work and great coordination to achieve this had paid off. The girls later on settled well. To also see Telma once again, amazing.

ha sido un placer totalmente de llevar las niñas a su familia adoptiva, para ver la magia en sus ojos en recibir su nuevos mienbros de la familia. Para ver el equipo de bienvenida, y para ver a Telma otro vez.

We had such a great time, I was thrilled to stay with Telma, and go for starbucks coffee each morning and not only that but take the gang with us (their greys and galgos) in the car without any danger! On the contrary people love them for what they are, not objects to rob! Not possessions, just beauty. It really impacted me. I so hope one day we can arrive at that.


Hemos pasado tan bien y ha sido genial quedar me con Telma. Ir a tomar cafe en starbucks todos las mañanas, y llevando la bandia con nosotros en el coche. (Los Greyhounds y galgos) ... sin peligro! Al contrario, la gente lo miran con ojos de belleza, como perros de elegancia no objectos para robar como aqui! Me hecho mucho alusion, me impacto mucho. Ojala un dia llegaremos a eso.

From tortilla making for the party we had, to meeting all the very special people which work with Telma, help, support and love the dogs.  In GRIN, to Greyhound Connection, for the meet and greet we did ..
For me, I thank everyone of them for their time, their happiness and for blessing me with their experiances and their love for these creatures.

De haciendo tortilla española para la fiesta hemos tenido, de conociendo todos las personas tan especiales quien trabajan con Telma ayudando la y apoyando la y en amor para estos perros. De GRIN, Greyhound Connection y el "meet & Greet" hemos hecho, .. para mi, doy la gracias a todos para su tiempo, su felicidad, y para bendicir me con sus experiencias y amor para estos criaturas.


I also had the pleasure of seeing my sister, brother and father who Ive not seen in many many many years.
Tambien ha sido genial ver a mi familia, hermano hermana, y padre quien no le he visto en muchissimos años.


I truly thank Telma and Mike for their hospitality, their wonderful home, friends, 4 legged family members, and such care of me while I was there.

Agradezco a Telma, y Mike para su hospitalidad en su magnifico casa, amigos, y familia de 4 patas, y tantos mimos mientras que he estado con ellos.

In galgo affection, always.
En efecto galgo.

Un increible vuelta por USA. An incredible journey!

Podenca ANA, GRIN sends emergancy fund towards help.

ANA.

Ana rescued after many months by Rosemary in Valencia. Podenca Ana was spotted and incredibly lame. untouchable like many are. More with a wound like Anas. Her back leg is broken. Left to the campo Rosemary starts to place food for her. She comes daily but no place is found, no room at the inn for Podenca Ana. Not a single asoc. in the area will accept Ana for she is a podenca.. who wants to adopt one of those? With a broken leg! Even worse it means money. MANY WOULD ADOPT A PODENCA IF THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE LIKE. Doors close for Ana.

ANA UNA PODENCA RESCATADA POR ROSEMARY DESPUES DE MUCHOS MESES EN VALENCIA. ANA LA PODENCA ESTABA COJA, Y IMPOSSIBLE DE TOCAR, COMO MUCHOS. Y MAS CON UNA HERIDA COMO LA DE ANA TIENE. SU PIERNA A TRAS ESTA ROTA. DEJADO EN EL CAMPO ROSEMARY EMPEZO DE DEJAR COMIDA ELLA VENIA A COMER TODOS LOS DIAS PERO NINGUNA ASOC. SE ENCARGABA DE COGER LA. PORQUE? UNA PODENCA,Y HERIDA CUESTA DINERO Y QUIEN QUIERE ADOPTAR UNA PODENCA? PUES MUCHA GENTE CUANDO SABEN COMO SON!!!

Rosemary continues to place food. One day pups are with her (her story is found on this blog below) Rosemary found homes for the pups, and thanks to a male dogs arrival and "befriending Ana" Rosemary caught her. I may add and rescued the male at the same time. Thanks to Galgo News, Rosemary got in touch with us and with no more news on the poor Podenca with the broken leg, Dioni sets out to cellect her 6 hours away from here. 12 hours later they arrive home and Ana joins 112 carlota galgos.

Galgo rescue international (www.galgorescue.org) has sent an emergancy fund for Ana to help towards her resuce and curing of her leg. its a long process and she has already been to the clinic many times. Without such help, we could not do what we do.

ROSEMARY SIGUE DEJANDO COMIDA Y UN DIA SU CACHORROS ESTAN NACIDOS.. SU HISTORIA ESTA ABAJO. ENCONTRANDO SITIO PARA LOS CACHORROS, UN MACHO VENIA. GRACIAS A EL ROSEMARY PUDE COGER A ANA. TAMBIEN GALGO NEWS SE HA COMENTADO A ROSEMARY SOBRE NOSOTROS.NADA MAS, DIONI FUE A COGER LA. 6 HORAS DE VIAJE .. 12 HORAS DE LA VUELTA ANA ESTA CON NOSOTROS.

GRIN (www.galgorescue.org) ha enviado un asistencia para ayudar en el rescate de Ana. Ya ella ha sido varios veces en la clinica como os cuento abajo. Manipulacion de musculo, y para tratar la infeccion que sigue. gracias a GRIN  podemos hacer lo que hacemos.

Ana has been back and forth to the vets for a reocurring infection. Unless the leg is clean from infection it makes it harder to operate. However in ten days she will be operated on. At the moment its hard to say if her leg will be amputated, we are trying everything so it is not. The break is a very old break and the bones have come together, in order to re break this it would be very tough.  She has already been in under aneasthetic for manipulation of the muscles as they are all knotted up and there is tendon damage. The right decisions are made at the right time.

ANA HA ESTADO EN LA CLINICA MUCHAS VECES POR INFECCIONES. SI LA PIERNA ESTA LIMPIA DE INFECCION SE PUEDE OPERAR. EN DIEZ DIAS LO VAMOS HACER. LA ROTURA ES ANTIGUA, Y ESTA SOLDADO SOLO, PARA ROMPER LO DE NUEVO SERIA DIFICIL. SI TENEMOS QUE AMPUTAR LO HACEMOS PERO INTENTAMOS CON TODO ANTES. YA ELLA HA SIDO EN QUIROFONO/DORMIDA  PARA MANIPULAR LOS MUSCULOS QUE ESTAN DAÑADOS.

Ana is bearing up well, I even see her playing she has adjusted to her new life as a rescued dog and I am so thankful Rosemary persisted. One day, like Lucy Ana will experiance the love of a family. A sofa, a bed all to her own. In the meantime we will do what we can for her, and keep you posted.

ANA ESTA CONTENTA, TAMBIEN JUEGAN Y ESTAN FELIZ CON SU NUEVA VIDA. ESTOY AGRADECIDA QUE ROSEMARY SEGUIA CON LA RESCATE. UN DIA, COMO LUCY ANA PODRA SENTIR LO QUE LUCY TIENE. UNA SOFA, CAMA, PARA ELLA. MIENTRAS TANTO, HACEMOS TODO LO POSIBLE.

In galgo affection.

DIANA

Diana Adopted to Maria Angeles

Home sweet home!

Diana a galga rescued from a pound where she had been left by her owner. A VET! Breaking the promise that a vet makes to care and treat animals she leaves her galga in a pound abandoned.Only on the clause that on adopted she can be taken to her for her changing of chip. That does not make it any better, only trying to ease her consiousness. Diana, a 4 year old galga who had clearly hunted, had muscles on her hind quarters of sheer running. No doubt seeing the end to her career, was no longer needed. Or tired. we found Diana as tired, shaking all over her body and completely blocked of any personality at all. Life had let her down.

Well no more! 112 carlota galgos stepped in and took Diana, it took time to win her confidance but when we did, boy did it feel good. She shook all over, had a heart murmur, and was tired. At 112 carlota galgos she was allowed to "just be" and its here Maria Angeles found her. These days, her shaking is to a minimal if at all. She loves being at home with her adopted brother "a cat" and just her new mama Maria Angeles. Thankyou for taking this special galga Maria Angeles. She needed you.

Diana.. una galguita rescatada de una perrera miserable. dejado alli por su dueña, veterinaria. rompiendo todo las promesas una veterinaria debe hacer en su trabajo, para mejorar la vida de un animal, y por detras dejando su galga en la perrera. ???????? Excusas no hay!

Una galguita de 4 años, claramente ha corrido con los musculos que tenia, y estaba cansada. Con un soplo en el corazon y todo su cuerpo templando. sin caracter. tirado, la vida se ha dejado y estaba desconfiada.

Pues nada mas, 112 carlota galgos fue por ella, hemos dejado a Diana a su tiempo dandole empujones cuando era necesaria. Con un miedo a los niños impresionante. Su cuerpo entera templando de miedo. Diana estaba con nosotros a su tiempo, a nuestro rutina. Y se al final, ganamos su confianaza. Yo sabia que ella necesitaba una persona especial. Pues aqui es donde Maria Angeles se enamoro de ella. Ya no tiembla, tiene un hermoso hermano "gatito" y su mama en casa. Es todo lo que hemos prometido a Diana, una persona especial quien puede dedicar su tiempo a la princesa, quien saca la mejor y quien puede contnuar con nuestro trabajo. .. ofreciendo una "para siempre feliz" a una galguita tan especial. Mil gracias Maria Angeles.
