Yesterday, when Lucy swung by the vet's office to pick up some more dog food for Sweetie (a special blend for dogs her age--she's 17) the vet assistant told her about a report of a batch of pups that had been dropped off in a plastic bag a mile or so up the road.
The vet's office was full up with pooches and they didn't have room for them. The assistant told Lucy that if we couldn't take them, Lucy could bring them back to the office and they would euthanize them.
So, we now have four more pooches here at the hotel. They're probably some sort of pit bull/rottweiler mix, though it's hard to tell as they're still young and tiny. We're guessing they're around 3 to 4 weeks old.
On the good news front, one already has a home and the other three are going to a shelter in Fortuna tomorrow, that is run by Street Dogs Costa Rica, a very nice outfit that sells T-shirts and other stuff and uses the proceeds to fund the care of street dogs and strays around the country.
