In the afternoon, as usual, Carmena went home to feed her dogs and the dogs living across her house. Every day she also goes to feed some stray dogs living nearby a landfill site. Carmena told us that in the past few weeks the dogs in that particular area have increased rapidly so if there were 15 dogs earlier, now there were at least 50 of them. This might be due to dogs being collected from the city streets and "transported" nearby the landfill to be killed by e.g. hunters from time to time.

As it started to get dark we headed back to the hotel. Later in the evening we were meaning to go and say hello to Carmena's pets that we terribly had missed. And of course we had to take the new washing machine to Carmena and install it to its new home.

When at about 9:30 pm we arrived at Carmena's gates, we already heard some joyful barking. We were greeted by twenty wet noses and wagging tails. Carmena's pets are the most wonderful little creatures and delightful personas. I also went to say hello to the dogs living across Carmena's yard. Unfortunately it was already so dark that I couldn't recognize which dog was which but I surely noticed how happy the reception was also in there and how the dogs ran around the yard feeling cheery. In January Carmena had brought a pregnant female to the yard. The female had given birth to four sweet puppies. The puppies were now a month old and ran around briskly with the adults and were curious to sniff my trousers. As I lifted the puppies in my lap I heard satisfied puffing. The puppies smelled still like babies.

The evening had once again turned quickly into a night and we noticed that it was already past midnight. It was time to say goodbye to Carmena's pets and leave to the hotel to get some rest.
