Guapo was adopted by a foreign couple with a near by chicken ranch!
Well a month ago I said “Hello Guapo” to a blonde dog by my corner grocery store. He walked ahead of me but kepted looking back. Over the next couple days he would walk around me and I ended up giving him some food and water- and he ended up sleeping outside my door… he came to the beach with me and cried when I went into the ocean and just was beside me when I practiced Yoga… I thought this was such a great quality! Respectful. Well he had fleas and probably parasites so I didn’t really like carrying him down the stairs each time he climbed up… he chased the collectivo and my scooter coming after me… so I would have needed to tie him up… and one morning he was vomiting as soon I opened the door- I decided I can’t have a dog, but I can see if someone else can.
There is a dog refuge just the street from me and even though they had so many dogs- they took him as long as I could give a donation each month for his food and what not. In the next couple of days he got his shots, anti parasitic medication, he was fixed and well… he began getting walked by the volunteers and people and enjoying life… he put on weight too. I had the chance to go for walks with him over the past month and really loved him but tried not to get to attached. Tonight I went to the refuge to take him out and give this months donation – but he was adopted yesterday. I knew he would get adopted, he had such a good nature- and very beautiful. I am so grateful for that refuge and all the people helping these poor street dogs and neglected dogs. It’s a bit bitter sweet- I guess I am a bit lonely… he really would have been such a great dog to have, but I am just not ready for that commitment. I get to attached to them and it’s hard on me- I think about my ex dog a lot and wish I still had him in my life- even though he was a lot more difficult to to do yoga with … or well anything with haha. Actually he was a stubborn, old punk- but well- he smelt good somehow, was so smart and also very loving. Love is Love.
Anyways just wanted to share the good news and my gratitude to the universe for allowing Guapo to have a family that he deserves!
If anyone wants to do volunteer somewhere or looking for a dog- there are so many well behaved and lovely dogs at the refuge that need love! Even though it seems there is a pretty good amount of people helping out- they could always use more!
Take a walk down the beach- is a pretty nice walk!
