Meninâo has been very bad since 2 days and we have to take him to the vet. The weeks of rain and the worsening circumstances on our farm are taking their tolls. The constant rain always brings a lot of different dangers and animals to our farm, which is located on a hill and thus offers safe spots to snakes, poisonous spiders and many rats (from the illegal dump in front of our farm).

We are glad that Barriguda is at least doing better and that she can walk, eat and drink normally again. But with Meninâos issue we are currently going from bad to worse. In addition to all this, I have been planning the new building for the last few days/weeks and have worked out the plans for the foundation in the new dog yard on my own, but with some advice and ideas from friends.
By side I need to save up the costs for all this somehow. At the same time I've been looking for work since mid-December, asking about the regulations for entering Brazil, planning the flights so that I can at least finish the foundation on the new farm in the first half of the year. If that should happen, there will be a forced halt to construction until the money for the next construction modul has been saved.
(Barriguda is better now and she is playing with Mayo and Ana Rita)
Meninâo may seem to be having the same problem as Barriguda a few weeks ago, and we hope Meninâo gets back on its feet as well as Barriguda did soon. He has visibly lost a lot of weight in the last few days and we are concerned. Worries that add to all the other worries we already have. Meninâo eats and drinks, but throws it up again. He makes plaintive noises and is limp, can hardly move. In such cases, it's hard to tell where it's coming from without a blood test from the vet. It could be kidney disease like Barriguda, it could be a bite from a spider or snake, it could be diseases that come from rats and their droppings.

We hope that Meninâo will get well again and that he and all the other dogs on our farm will be able to see and experience the new piece of land and the new accommodations there. It's still a long, rocky, rainy path but without this path there would be no hope for the dogs, nor for us. I have kept asking for help, asking for support in all directions, but unfortunately in most cases there is no support. I'll be posting the foundation blueprints in a blog soon so people who are interested can get a rough idea of what we're about to do, roughly what the price range is, and how we're going to do all this. But one thing is already clear, without your help and support we can hardly do it! Again, a big thank you to all previous supporters and donors!!!
