Just a quick update on this blog. You may have noticed a new section in the header bar called ‘My Phlogs’. These are audio updates on my work with the strays, recorded usually as it happens. They are fun and are also keeping the Almerimar Strays blog fully up to date with the latest technology! Thank you Chris!!!

Chris arranged for a journalist that he knows (Matthew Pritchard) from Costa Almería News to interview me the other day about the work we have been doing with the strays here in Almerimar.

When you read the article you would think that there is only me doing the work, which is so obviously not true, but as Chris says you can’t control how the journalist presents the story.

Just read this on David’s Blog which doesn’t sound very encouraging:

Roquetas town hall has taken advantage of a renegotiation with the private company that runs its stray animal shelter to cut its budget in half, this year to only €75,000, as part of its 2009 Austerity Budget.

The re scheduled Book, CD and DVD sale will take place this Saturday the 13th!

Pam has arranged with the Ankara to hold a monthly sales of second hand books, DVD’s and CD’s on the last Saturday of every month ….. starting tomorrow. Sale will run from 12pm to 2pm so please pop along AND if you fancy donating any old books, DVD’s or CD’s to the cause she will be more than happy to take them off your hands. Please feel free to download a full size copy of the poster here and display it.

Just read this comment on a post on Almerimar Life.

The law in Andalucia makes all strays the responsability of the town hall of the area they’re found in. They are supposed to be taken in, assessed by a third party vet, and either put down if very unwell or savage, or put up for adoption. If they aren’t adopted after (I think) a month, then they can be put down.
