The Mexicans love their special breeds, such as pit bulls,
boxers and chihuahuas, but don’t care for mutts, which end up on the street
living off the generosity of humans. It seems like the non-Mexicans (gringos)
have an affinity for abandoned dogs, which we experienced while in Bucerias.
There are three dogs highlighted that were all adopted by Kosta and Leslie:
Mamma was a
street dog taken in by Leslie and Kosta to keep their new boxer (Coqueta)
company. The name ”Mamma” was given her because Coqueta was still a teenager
and Mamma provided the development for her. Mamma belonged to a local resident,
but was spending more time with Coqueta, and eventually adopted by Leslie and
Kosta. As it turned out Coqueta got pregnant and gave birth to 11 puppies,
which Mamma helped to nurture. When old enough, Coqueta’s pups were given away,
but, during an outing Mamma, Coqueta, and one of her pups got lost but only
Mamma returned home.
Cleo was found in
a ditch, possibly hit by a car. Leslie and Kosta took care of Cleo, bringing
her back to health.. This is one cute, but crazy dog. Cleo was very young when found;
hence Mamma was able to take her under her wing.
Libra was the
latest dog adopted by Leslie and Kosta. She first appeared at Vista Bahia and
became very friendly with the residents, who fed her. Libra (so named by Kosta
and Leslie) was very skinny, and only when a resident had her spaded did they
discover 11 puppies, which were aborted. Libra and the puppies would never have
survived the birth. As it turned out Libra became the premier guard dog for
Kosta and Leslie.
Now there are four females in Kosta’s life – Leslie (the
best of them all), Mamma, Cleo and Libra. Thank you so much for your generosity
and adopting the three dogs.
