Remei and I have decided that we're going to confiscate her mother's dog because she just can't take care of it correctly and it's not a good situation for the dog. We won't take away all her pets; she's got two cats that she can take care of just fine, but the dog is just out of the question. We'd take the dog ourselves but we can't fit two of us, five cats, and a dog into one Barcelona-sized apartment. So, do any of you folks anywhere near Barcelona want a wonderful dog? Her name is Perla, she's a pretty cinnamon-colored short-haired mutt (the best kind of dog!), she weighs about eight kilos and is 3 or 4 years old, and she's had all appropriate veterinary care, including vaccinations and sterilization. She's great with kids and tolerant of cats, she's friendly, affectionate, and playful, and she has no bad habits (howling all the time, tearing up stuff, crapping on the floor, etc.). She has never bitten anyone, no matter what, and she never will. Her tail doesn't wag when she sees you; the whole dog wags. It's kind of funny to see. She'll eat anything you give her; she's not picky like some dogs. This is a dog with a lot of positives and only one negative: she's used to a good bit of attention, which is why she'd be better off with a couple, a family, or a retired person than with someone single who's away from home for more than about eight hours a day. You have to promise that if you ever decide to get rid of her you will return her to us, and we'll figure something out, but you will not abandon her or dump her at the dog pound. Not that you'll want to get rid of her, you'll love her and she'll love you, but just in case.
