Hello,
over a week since I'm back in Berga, and it is something happened again, here is a brief summary:
- The shelter is for a change, not even with dogs crowded for us to grow but the cats wortwörlich over the head (better not say too loud!). I have just recounted, we have got a total of 4 adult cats and 19 kittens (!!!) and it was announced more ...
- Last week I called a German holidaymaker, the front of a hotel in Berga einen kranken Kater gefunden hatte. Ich beschrieb ihr den Weg und sie brachte das zerzauste Tier daraufhin zu uns. Es stellte sich heraus, dass der Kater schon sehr alt war (bis auf die Eckzähne fehlten ihm alle), und wir beobachteten, dass er sehr viel Blut im Urin hatte und auch erkältet war. Daraufhin hat Clara, die Tierärztin, ihn sich angesehen und einen Bluttest gemacht, und das niederschmetternde Ergebnis: FIV-positiv, innere Organe angegriffen, unheilbar :-( Heute haben wir den alten Tom, so hatte ich ihn genannt, über die Regenbogenbrücke gehen lassen, wo er nicht mehr leiden muss... Er ist auf meinem Schoß eingeschlafen...
Tom war ein bemerkenswerter Kater. Er war immer freundlich, gut gelaunt und für cuddle each unit grateful. He left everything to make even the drawing of blood from the jugular vein he had fallen without much resistance, he never was aggressive against us or his own kind. We are all very sad that Tom did not make it, but the disease had already defeated him long before he came to us, we had no chance ...
And so Tom will always be remembered, so you've seen him all times and have looked into this friendly, life-experienced cat eyes, here are some photos of our very special old man:
- Even if the dogs are some new additions made: Bak, a small terrier mix, Porsche, a German shepherd dog that was taught 4 years ago in Berga and now returned, is Atlas, a Labbi mix that was found driving by on the highway, and Lisa, who in March this year, as a puppy and now provides for time and lack of money (in good German: Do not tired of the dog) was brought back. The poor dog is totally insecure and nervous in the kennel, sometimes these people could really turn around the neck ...
- There are also some dogs by air Pate traveled to Germany, and
-> am 03.09. Franka, Rufus, and Vanilla Fuet from Berga. With the exception of Vanilla were all from the animal shelter Hattersheim included here again many many thanks to the complete animal home team and of course to Anja! Vanilla was picked up directly from their new family. Everything went very smoothly, both here in Spain and in Dusseldorf
:-) -> then at 09.09. could Guban from Jaca, Choco, Caramel and cocoa from Berga, and fly out the kittens Julius, Monty, Hawaii and Sydney from Berga and Lara and Sofie from Jaca, also to Dusseldorf. At this point, THANK YOU to the 4 (!) Flight godmothers, to Steffi, Manuela and Diana, for driving, arranging and recording the fur monster. There were a total of 10! Pets fly, I love AirBerlin!
-> am 11.09. was then a flight to Hamburg, who was with the blind Setter bitch Linda from Jaca and with Piper, also from Jaca and puppy girl Anette filled from the Arca. THANKS to Verena, who has so quickly found a home for Linda and took over the airport ride.
The funniest thing was that we (at home with Jordan) in the meantime boarding kennels for the animals from Jaca and Arca have played, for the airport trip is for these shelters are very far and we have therefore offered to take over the driving so that the Animals could then be brought if the best anyone could go.
For your information: We have a total of 8 dogs in the house: Thelma, Louise, Dala, Chivas, Duc und Cuca (Hunde von Jordis Familie), dazu meine beiden. Dazu kamen dann letzten Samstag Guban, Piper und Linda, außerdem die beiden Babykatzen aus Jaca. Und am Montag brachte Viky aus der Arca uns die kleine Anette noch vorbei, so dass wir zu Spitzenzeiten 11 Hunde im Haus herumschwirren hatten, und man möge beachten dass sich nicht alle untereinander verstehen (Dala ist recht dominant), daher musste man auch noch mit den Türen aufpassen...
Ist aber alles glatt gegangen und Jordis Eltern kamen aus dem Lachen nicht mehr raus :-)))
und nächsten Montag, den 17.09., geht ein weiterer Flug nach Düsseldorf, auf den bisher nur Sergei aus der Arca und Fiona aus Berga *freu* mitgehen, aber wir versuchen or the old Labbi bitch Ana send along from Jaca, because she has a really great foster home in Soest in view, but unfortunately can not come himself to the airport, so we are still looking
URGENT A DRIVER FOR MONDAY, 17:09 . that takes at 21.10 Ana in Dusseldorf in reception and they can bring up to Soest.
If you think so now: Hey, since I live nearby, and I have time Monday night to ... PLEASE CALL IN 0034-630905380 or send me an email to melina.sobotta @ RWTH-aachen.de
THANK YOU!
So. Ich komm mal wieder runter ;-) Auf jeden Fall freuen wir uns über die vielen Flüge und ich möchte mich auch mal herzlich bei AirBerlin bedanken (auch wenn das wahrscheinlich nicht dort ankommen wird), dass sie immer so bereitwillig unsere Tiere mitnehmen und davon auch noch so viele. Ohne AirBerlin sähe das Thema Flugpaten viel düsterer aus, und ich hoffe, dass auch in Zukunft die Zusammenarbeit so gut klappt!!!
*************
Ich wollte noch viel mehr schreiben, aber irgendwie hab ich die Hälfte vergessen, ich werde die Tage mal meinen Kopf aufräumen und mal sehen was da noch so zum Vorschein kommt...
Until then, many greetings and thanks to you all that you're interested in our work!
Melina
