Others out there

Well dad has not seen the black dog again. He seems to pass by once a week only. Each week leaving a marked degeneration of  his general condition. It would not help if he did pass because mom and dad do not have enough money to help him. We are all praying for him here. The rain has not stopped, so that doesn't help either. Guga is happy and waiting for the sun to come out so he can have a bath. Freddie is still irritated with mange. The old female is still visiting the bakery several times a day for food. Yesterday a big black dog was running in the street outside our home. He looks like another stray too. He is not in too bad a condition, so probably recently abandoned. They are all over the place. The average life span for a street dog here is one year. It used to be less. Mom told us about the circus days before Brazil banned lions and big animals for this type of entertainment. The circus people used to feed the lions abandoned and stray dogs. When the circus left there wasn't a stray dog to be seen. Well mom and dad are back to worrying about their financial crisis and what will happen to us if they don't manage to ride the storm through. Mom is still expecting some type of miracle and dad is quietly depressed and tired. Lets all hope for a better year in 2011.
