Walking the dogs at PAE
Today we walked with Andrea who trains by running with the dogs. Tomorrow she is running around Las Illinizas - some very big volcano/mountains. Needless to say it was quite a quick paced walk but good to learn another route. High school students in Ecuador have to complete a certain number of hours community work in Ecuador so most weekends there are some students there. This week they were painting the gate and fence of the PAE.
Most routes have been fenced off and there are no rights of way - makes you appreciate the network of footpaths back in the UK.
I walked a lovely natured dog called Ituku who had only one eye. I later bathed and brushed him and what a lot of hair came off!
Megan was occupied giving some TLC to four puppies whose owner had threatened to throw them in the bin!
I always have to drag her away!

A weekend of equine therapy and yoga with horses at rancho4volcanoes at San Pablo Lake, Otavalo, Ecuador. Horses are amazing - they are very sensitive creatures and tune in to the our thoughts and feelings telling us a lot about ourselves.
In the meadow in the morning shade surrounded by Eucalyptus trees and majestic mountains.
All the horses have been rescued and have their own personal histories.
Megan fell in love with the foal.

PAE - Protección Animal Ecuador www.pae.ec/
On Saturday mornings my daughter and I set off for Alangasi where PAE currently have 130 dogs waiting for adoption. We help to walk and bathe the dogs and give them a lot of fuss. It isn't easy finding good walks here as most land has been closed off with no rights of way.
At the British School Quito last week we held a non-uniform day and bake sale to raise much needed funds for this worthy charity.

The PAE do amazing work in very difficult conditions. They run veterinary clinics and organise mobile sterilisation units. If you would like to know more then please take a look at their webpage www.pae.ec
