Alex and Renee from the US first went to the donkey paradise and then stayed in Ceceda for two weeks - then they went to visit Madrid and I drove them to Tours as I had to go to Holland in the van. Renee is a good driver so it made the trip a lot easier. They participated in a demonstration against animal abuse in Gijón where we took Tika, Negri and Mandy and repaired the fences so the donkeys could go in the meadow without eating everything in the veggie garden... They got some fantastic photos of Negri and our flying Estrella.
Read about their adventures in their blog
English Tara joined us in April with American Keely who stayed for a week. The vegetable garden was started. She brought her own car - taking the ferry from the UK to Santander. Her favourites were Súa and littleNegri, who'd she gladly taken with her on her travels. this is what she says about him:
Negri is adorable.
With only one ear, he is obviously very chacteristic. However, that is only the beginning. He is also affectionate, intelligent and extremely inquisitive. When out walking, don´t be surprised if he runs a little way ahead. He is overwhelmed by the smells and loves to explore. On the flip side, when at home he loves to relax and lay in the sunshine. He will quite often lay on his left hand side (the side his ear is missing) as it´s obviously more comfortable that way.
Rest assured, having only one ear by no way compromises his hearing and when called, he will appear from nowhere, eager to play and get some fuss. His little tail will wag, and by way of appreciation, he will give you kisses in return.
He loves to roll on his back and have a good scratch and the little noises he makes are heartwarming!
By adopting Negri, you will be enriching the life of one very clever, and very endearing dog.
