Re: Spay/Neuter Clinic in Negril
<span style="font-size: 11pt">The clinic was wonderful and worked like a well greased wheel. The vets and volunteers were fabulous and I felt more then blessed to have the opportunity to help out in any little way. I ended up being the person who held the dogs after their initial exam, as they started to go under. Later I assisted in recovery, as the dogs were just coming to. I was impressed and amazed by the love and care that was given to each and every animal. Gentle loving care. In the 3 days the clinic was running, there were almost 300 cats and dogs spayed or neutered, as well as getting other treatments that were needed. One dog had a bullet lodged in it, that was removed. Others had broken legs that were treated, mange or skin problems, ticks or other ailments. They were all treated and every single animal was sent home with bags of medications, that were needed. We also distributed bags of dog food for those who needed it. I was also very impressed by the few school aged boys, maybe 10 or 12 years old, who came and sat for hours waiting with their yard dogs, which they brought in tied with small pieces of wire. I spoke to them for a long time & explained to them how important it was to care for their dogs. I could see in most peoples faces, that this clinic showed them how important it is to love and care for their pets. They saw the importance and showed gratitude to all that were there helping. It was a beautiful.
So, there was a stray dog who someone brought in off of Villa La Cage Road. She was beautiful, loving and gentle. She did not appear to have been beaten, she looked like she had been fed pretty good, she is 42# strong. I was told that some of the locals on the lane have taken her as a friend and they keep an eye out of her, even tho she is homeless. She was brought in by a person who lives on that Road. I sat with her before and after her surgery. Then when I inquired what was to come next, after her recovery, they said they would take her back to the lane to let her loose. She needed meds and care, as well as love and attention, so I've become her foster mom, of sorts. I'm yet to hear her bark, she gentle and shy. She has been staying in the house until her incisions heal, but she took to the leash without hesitation, so I take her out for walks around the yard. She sleeps each night on a rug next to my bed, wakes me to go out to do her business and occasionally during the night , she wants me to pet her, letting her know everything is alright.
Mi love her like cooked food, trust me, she is special.
I've named her Bonnie, Irish for beautiful and I call her Bon Bon for short. You know, everyone in Jamaica has a nick name, Bon Bon is hers.
Walk good and hug up your animals. Their love is so pure.
Here she is.
