Full Story

Well, it's not easy being a Momma, but I believe we are going to survive this. He is going on his third day now, and doing everything you would expect a puppy his age to do. Plus some. This guy has the strength, stamina and will of a guy thrice his age.
He eats, poos, cries and fights. A real survivor. Did I say he was gordo? Check out his photos!!!

Nube has died giving birth.

Full Story

We at the Quinta California are so sad to report that Nube has died this morning at about 10:00am. She went into labor last night and gave birth to one to one healthy male, nicnamed "Storm" for now. Two other puppies were born, however did not survive, and she was still pregnant when she died 11 hours later.

Nube Blanca "La Princessa Caramela" was rescued from the streets in December of 2005. She definately had two paws in the grave at that time. She was rehabilitated it the Quinta California and regained her health, only to accidently escape during a heat and consequently get impregnated.

She will be missed, despite her short stay at the Quinta. She must have been living on borrowed time and was given the opportunity to die with dignaty.

"Nature is a strange energy, and we we are part of it. We are all animals looking after each other, living very simbiotic relationships. They are really like the people in our lives, quite impossible to choose, even tho we are given the illusion that we have chosen them, when maybe they have chosen us. "
- Juan Christòble
