After several weekends away from Quito, I decided again to stay at home. So I made me a gammligen and cozy Saturday. On Sunday I did then still do something, so I went along with Jorge, who is to visit straight from Guayaquil with his cousin, again on the teleferico. Actually, we had planned to make about 3 hour hike to the summit. But first we rented horses and rode about a good forty minutes. But then the weather was very bad, it started to rain and hail, so we decided to turn back.
During the week, something happened surprising. 1 Just as we were on the way from the Fundación came home a child with two small puppies started. He had found her in a Plasticksack by the way. Someone has probably exposed to die. Everyone was so excited about the dogs, but no one knew exactly 1 what to do with it. One of the two was very weak and both pretty 1 cool. We volunteers decided they only times to take with us to the apartment in order to prop up. Marco by Fundación wanted nothing to do with it, because they already have two dogs and have no place and no time for more.
We took them so and they warmed up on a blanket. Google told us that we should not feed cow's milk, extra-special puppy milk or baby milk. We asked in every shop in the neighborhood, but all looked at each other in astonishment and asked why we want to probably buy baby milk powder. So there was nothing left for us to feed as still boiled 1 cow's milk. Better than nothing, it was probably. Every two hours they had to be fed and so we took turns in order to get up at night. But we all knew that so can not go. We all do not have the time to leave us so intensely in order to take care of and on the weekends we are anyway almost never in Quito. We had to find another solution.
So Gulla and I made our way the next morning in the city with the puppy in his luggage. The goal was to deliver it to the vet and give up for adoption or to the shelter. On the way we asked all the neighbors if they do not want two puppies or about had a bitch that could give the puppy milk. All denied. So we went to the vet. On the way we met a man who was so enthusiastic about the pooch that he immediately wanted to take one for his son home. He accompanied us to the vet. This said, it was not possible for him to keep the dogs and if we want them up for adoption we would have in the north of the city, quite far from us. But we had no time, we had to go back to work. The doctor said the chance 1 of survival is small to very small without a mother, they were still not a week old. He explained that the care is about as intense as that of a baby. The man who accompanied us thought better of it concerning the semi differently and wanted but none more. We talked a long time about a solution, but it just seemed to be no. We could not keep it real. So the vet suggested to euthanize them. It seemed to us that the best solution. So they did not have to suffer at least and it is not long so agonizing as to freeze and starve in a Plasticksack. 1 It did us but incredibly 1 sorry for the pooch! Here understands but hardly anyone, because there are so many dogs here in the neighborhood, two more or less, what does it it matter ...
The next weekend was a three-day Easter weekend. Louise Gulla and I went on Thursday night going to Puerto Lopez to the coast. 1 From there we visited the next day Machallila National Park. Three beautiful beaches. The weather was not super sunny, but not so hot. But it was better than it may look in the photos!
That's where we took a moto taxi. The ride was fun and had the driver and also drive in each case together with him. When we returned, he organized a proper "motorbike" and showed us how to ride him, with gears and so on! What a fun! All alone I was able to cruise through Puerto Lopez, past the police officers 1 did not care on ..: D The Moto taxi .. I drive while driving on :)
In the evening we drank a cocktail then cozy on the beach and when we were on the way home, Luise stürtze stupid over the pavement edge and sprained her for the second time this month, the same ankle. She sat weeping 1 by the roadside and around us formed a huge crowd of people. Even the police were there. A man said that he knew a woman who could heal and so it was that we suddenly sat in the police car and drove with blue light to this woman. She lived in a very simple house with a tin roof, which by small dark Gässche
