To crate or not to crate a dog?
Interesting article on how to teach your dog to use a crate. Apart from transporting dogs in vehicles/planes or possibly a dog shows, I am not a believer in using crates otherwise…particularly ‘toilet training’ a dog. I have had dogs all of my 70 years and have never had problems toilet training a dog without resorting to a crate. I knew one woman who crated her Weimaraners whenever I visited because she couldn’t control them! In my book, that was because they weren’t trained to behave. On another occasion I was told by a third party that a galgo I had rehomed was being crated and the children allowed to poke fingers at him! He was fine with the children and other dog when I did home tests/checks…to this day I don’t know why she crated him…I didn’t ask because I was so angry! Needless to say, I simply messaged that he was to be brought back to me immediately. Was fine with the grandchildren in his thereafter forever home.
We all have our own opinions on this subject, these are simply mine.

Deanimals in Murcia – always fighting for animal welfare
I’ve written in the past about Deanimals of Murcia, the lawyers who take on prosecution cases of animal welfare and run training courses for lawyers, police, judges, veterinarians and anyone else involved with animals, training them to carry on in all corners of Spain the work Deanimals pioneered. Founding lawyer Raquel tells me she now has many lawyers doing similar work around Spain and the Canary Islands.This story is about an aspect of their work…it’s not about galgos, it’s about circus animals. I have always abhorred the use of animals in circus, especially ‘wild animals’…travelling all over the place, in cramped conditions, being forced to perform unnatural acts.
There was outrage in Paris recently when a rare white tiger from a circus was shot dead after escaping from its prison. my research shows that in October 2015 France had no ban on wild animals in travelling circuses, of which there are many in France. Further research now states there are 65 communes in France which ban wild animals in circuses. Sadly the one in which I live in 79, and surrounding communes, does not.

Scooby Protectora – their work never ends…please support them
This month there are more galgos arriving at the Scooby shelter, several dogs in very poor condition or with health problems, this 4-month old puppy and another tiny abandoned puppy with rickets in its front legs…needing medicine and special food.Here’s one of the galgos, malnourished and full of wounds. How can anyone let a dog get in this state?! And galgueros claim to love their dogs!!
When he recovers will need a family that will care him as he deserves and give him a lot of love ❤.
