We came back to the shelter feeling a bit under
the weather with Carmena calling numerous people and arranging a meeting for
the next day to have some clarification for Rona's situation. We also drove to
check out the dog shelter that had been built on the outskirts of the small
town of Bumbesti Jiu.
They will probably start to collect stray dogs to this shelter some day. The shelter
was still empty and such a poor excuse of a construction that I'd rather see it
empty also in future.

In the afternoon I spent a couple of hours
mingling with the shelter dogs and taking pictures. It was somehow comforting
to be in the middle of hundreds of friends, sharing them my thoughts of the
injustice of the world and other puzzling things. When I had shared my thoughts
and hugged the numerous dogs of the shelter I moved on to check out the caravan
brought from Germany
in January. Unfortunately there had been a little mice invasion going on in
there. In the back of the caravan was some shelter equipment nicely put on
shelves. The front part was for changing clothes and lunch breaks. While I was
there looking around I had this thought that the next time maybe we could bring
an eco-toilet to the shelter since the surroundings of the shelter are getting
so lively that soon there'll be no chance to use the "natural toilet" anymore.

After my
check-up in the caravan I realized that it'd be impossible to try and find all
the holes through which the mice come inside. We had brought an
ultrasound-mouse trap to the warehouse building but since there's no
electricity in the caravan we couldn't install the mouse trap in there. Anu and
Carita continued to clean the cages and Heli and Patricia washed the dirty
pallets found nearby the shelter. We figured we could use those pallets
somewhere in the shelter.
