Thanks to all of you who donated in any way…It is because of you that we are able to provide this service at such a nominal fee. If anyone here would like to help us with street animals which may involve doing runs to Puerto Vallarta, Lo de Marcos or Bucerias to obtain health certificates, dog/cat food, help with adoptions or vet visits that would be great. Right now it is just Jeanie, Celia, Lacy, and I who are involved in year long animal rescue. We could use some help! Fliers are available both Spanish and English on our website. If any of you are here and would print the Spanish flier to hand out in Jaltemba Bay, that would help promote our clinics. Here is a copy of the English Flier… Spay/Neuter Clinic for Dogs and Cats was a huge success!!!!!!! 145 Animals were spayed or neutered during the 3.5 day clinic! 92 dogs and 53 cats were sterilized preventing 6,164,000 dogs in 6 years and 22,260,000 cats in 7 years totaling 28,424,000 animals from being unwanted in Jaltemba Bay.

Galería X altemba Presents
“The Golden Aura” Sculptures and Paintings by
Reception for the Artist Friday December 7, 20077 - 9 pm Cocktail in the Gallery and Upstairs Lounge Performance by Carla Viviana González Lara Free David Delgadillo is a restless artist who searches for the spiritual in the secret areas of the human body, he paints lines and circles that form mandalas in golden surfaces. The body becomes the container for the universe. Galería Xaltemba is proud to present his work from December 7th to the 27th. Cocktail for the artist is Friday, December 7th from 7 to 9 pm. With a performance by Carla Viviana Gonzalez Lara. Golden bodies, chakras, mysticism, energy, David’s work reminds us that the human body reflects and absorbs the cosmology of the universe. The body chakras rotate and pulsate as if they were planets in orbit and from inside the body they expose, open and close. The human body as a transitory vessel, it transforms and extinguishes itself like the stars in space. The body has been painted gold for adoration, to always be alive, to become indestructible, to make it immortal so that it will be reborn. History is filled with sculptures of bodies golden and not, adorned and abhorred. David Delgadillo’s sculptures are golden, like Buddha's in the Katmandu mountains of Nepal, the chakras are Tibetan mandalas, points of mediation, and points of departure An aura is something that can’t be easily seen, to see an aura you need to be gifted with extraordinary powers or need to use technologically advanced photography. The aura is an invisible space of luminous radiation. The colors of the aura define the energy and the physical state of the human body. It is said that the aura is a representation of the vibrations of the soul, and harmonious attributes to reflect on the moods or thoughts of the person, their true internal state of being. Just like the phenomenon of the paranormal, the existence of the aura is controversial. David Delgadillo gives his sculptures energy and they vibrate to become eternal beings.

Property Management- Home Alone “I came back after 4 months and the grass and jungle around my home took over the patio area. It was obvious that the firm we hired as property managers had never visited our place never mind managed it! They refused to give us back our money and took off. I’ve had my fill of fly-by night operators” Anonymous Home Owner in Lo de Marcos
One of the single most important decisions a home owner can make is what to do when their house remains vacant. Some opt for house-sitters. Others rely on a few local full-time friends to pay the bills and ensure their property is safe. Neither is a perfect solution. The other option, hiring a property management firm, can also be fraught with expectations and disappointment. One of the most reliable firms in the area, Jaltemba Bay Rentals is unfortunately no longer providing this service. (Lenor Coomber is concentrating full-time on booking accommodation at various hotels and private residents on the coast.)
