SayulitAnimals Pet of the Week
"Nina"
 Nina is not for adoption yet. She needs your help in another way.
For the last year she lived with a local family who saved her from being shot because she killed a hen. They tied her up behind their house to a tree with a 3 foot leash. Because she never had the chance to run nor even
walk around, her nails grew into long claws. Out of neglect and having to live tied to a tree month after month, she got very sick. Finally a neighbor couldn't bare listening to her cries anymore, untied her and took her into her care.
She needs medicine, food, water, exercise (Nina is a Husky!) and love. We found a good soul who will sponsor the medicine, now we are asking you to help us by providing
Nina's food. She has a huge appetite and is finally gaining weight. The food cost is approximately 350 pesos/month. On behalf of sweet Nina who is fighting hard to get her health and freedom back, I thank you!
Nina todavia no puede darse en adopcion. Necesita de su ayuda en una forma diferente.
 Por el ultimo ano estuvo viviendo con una familia local que la salvo de la muerte de sus duenos anteriores que le querian
disparar porque mato a una gallina. Pero estos ultimos la amarraron a un arbol detras de su casa con una correa de un metro de largo, asi que nunca tuvo chance de correr ni caminar, sus unascrecieron como largas garras. Por abandono y por tener que vivir amarrada a un arbol mes
por mes se enfermo gravemente. Por fin una vecina que ya no aguantaba escuchar los gritos de la perrita, la desato y se la llevo para cuidarla.
Nina necesita medicina, comida, agua, ejercicio (es una Husky!!!) y carino. Ya encontramos alguien que va a donar la medicina y ahora estamos pidiendo ayuda para comprar la comida que sea buena para ella. Tiene un gran apetito y por fin esta aumentando de peso. La comida tiene un costo
de aproximamente 350 pesos/mes.
Por parte de la dulce Nina, que esta luchando muy fuerte para recuperar su salud y libertad, le doy las gracias!
If you would like to get to know this pet a little more and/or are interested in offering it a new home please contact SayulitAnimals for more information.

Home & Away: Help, I can't breath!!!
 The first meeting with our prestanombre always leaves me gasping for breath.Part of it, of course,is the ever-increasing money it seems the Mexican government is determined to bleed out of us.Even if we wanted to sell our property, which we most definitely don't, we'd face an unwelcome dilemma:if we were to try to sell without regularizing the property first, it would take a rich and brave soul to purchase.I doubt we would, knowing what we know now.But
we can just barely pay the exorbitant sum expected of us to regularize,
that cost which would then be added to the price of our home.The regularization will cost considerably more than we paid for our land. But enough about that, it's too depressing. more-> (Seriously, you really want more?)
La primera reunión con nuestros prestanombre siempre me deja sin aliento. Parte
de ella, por supuesto, es la cada vez mayor de dinero parece que el
gobierno mexicano está decidido a sangrar de nosotros. Incluso
si queremos vender nuestra propiedad, que definitivamente no, nos
enfrenta a un dilema desagradable: si se tratara de vender sin la
regularización de la propiedad en primer lugar, se necesitaría un alma
rica y valiente a la compra. Dudo que sería, sabiendo lo que sabemos ahora. Pero
nosotros apenas si pagar la exorbitante suma se espera de nosotros para
regularizar, que el costo que luego se añadirán al precio de nuestra
casa. La regularización va a costar mucho más de lo que pagó por nuestra tierra. Pero no hablemos más de eso, es muy deprimente. mas->

¡Que Madre! Sayulita by Andrea
Villarrubia (Andrea's Mothering Blog, ¡Que Madre!, because Mothering is cool.)
 Last week I laid out a few New Year's resolutions, one of them being to
find out more about someone you see every day. In this spirit, I
thought it would be fun to spotlight a local youngster, and learn more
about what brought her family to Sayulita, and what she thinks about
living here. Astrid Vanya Netanya Galitzine Dea-Sherman lives in the Tamarindo neighborhood with her mom, Treva Dea, her pop, Nick Sherman, and their 9 (!) pets (4 dogs, 5 cats). more->
La semana pasada expuse las resoluciones de Año Nuevo, uno de ellos
para averiguar más acerca de alguien que vemos todos los días. En este
espíritu, pensé que sería divertido poner de relieve un joven local, y
aprender más sobre lo que llevó a su familia a Sayulita, y lo que
piensa sobre la vida aquí. mas->

Sayulita Photo of the Week
(a new El Sayulero Contribution from Donna Day)
When my housekeeper, Belan, invited me to her daughter Irma's
"Quinceañera", I had no idea what to expect, but I was totally taken
with the beauty of the ceremony that took place at the church.
Cuando mi ama de llaves, Belan, me invitó a su hija de Irma
"Quinceañera", no tenía ni idea de qué esperar, pero yo estaba
totalmente absorbido por la belleza de la ceremonia que tuvo lugar en
la iglesia.

Sayulita Health
 A very common belief among the visitors of Sayulita is that
emergencies that we attend in the office have to do with drunk people
or junkies, and this is not true, the most frequent
emergencies in the village are:
Surf-related accidents: These are the most
frequent. Among these problems that we have attended are
concussions, twisted ankles, fractures and skin wounds.
Medical Emergencies: Hypertensive crisis, heart attacks, asthma attacks, accidental falls and / or accidental knocks.
Insects or bug related Emergencies: scorpion sting, stingray sting, jellyfish contact. more->
Una creencia muy comun entre los visitantes de Sayulita, es que las
urgencias que atendemos en el consultorio tienen que ver con borrachos
o dogadictos, y esto no es del todo cierto, las emergencias mas
frecuentes en el pueblo que hemos visto en nuestra oficina son las
siguientes. mas->
