My beloved Pluto was hit by a car

Last Tuesday nearly 1:30 am, one of my stray dogs, Pluto, was hit by a car. I was already sleeping, but I've heard a noise of a hit and my dogs barking, so I got up and went out to see what was happening. My Dog pluto was laying on the middle of the street and when I touched his face there was blood on his mouth, so I thought he was severily injured and could be already passing away. I was completely desperate. I started crying and yelling. My Mom screamed for me to calm down but I couldn't, so I phoned my front door neighbor and she asked me if I wanted to go out to look for a 24hs vet. I said "Sure I do!"

The poor dog was in shock. We phoned a friend and she gave us the number of a pet clinic. We couldn't understand right the address as I was too nervous, but we finally found it.

The vet required for us to leave a bail of R$ 300,00 as a pledge. I was Lucky my neighbor had her credit card with her because I didn't have no Money at all.

The following day the vet did an X-Ray and found out Pluto suffered a fracture in his pelvis (so he is not walking) and had his elbow took out of place, so he needed a surgery. The vet said that the pelvis might heal itself with rest within 20-30 days.

Saturday, Elisa's father drove me to the clinic to pick my dog. My debt over R$1300,00 apart from the medicines I had to buy. I had borrowed R$ 300,00 from my uncle Valentim. With this Money I bought the medicine and paid what I could. I still owe the vet R$ 1215,00, so I am asking people online to help me with donations. I feel awful to have to do that, but I don't have any Money now. I expected it to be expensive, but not so much!

 

This is a Picture of him in his cage on the clinic.

And this is him finally home.

 

Within ten days Pluto might have a new appointment to change his splint and then, after more 25 days he migh be able to get rid of it.

 

If you can donate any amount is welcome. There's a Paypal donation button on the left of this page.

I thank in advance the people who are helping me. God bless you and give you three times more what you are giving me to pay my debt for taking care of my four legs angel Pluto.

Tomato cake

Tomato cake / Bolo de tomate, originally uploaded by Crafty_witchy_girl.

My neighbor brought me a different piece of cake and gave me the recipe.

Ingredients:

3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 / 2 cup of oil
2 cups flour
1 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon baking powder
6 tomatoes, chopped and washed.

Put the washed and chopped tomatoes in a pan with a little water and bring to boil. Leave a few minutes. This boil is just to break the acidity of the tomato ...
Turn off the heat and bring the tomatoes to the blender. Strain and reserve the juice.

Beat the egg whites and set aside. Beat the egg yolks with sugar, add the oil, flour, starch and slowly go adding tomato juice to give the point of cake batter. Finally add the yeast and egg whites.

With tomato juice left over, you make a jelly to use as cobretura cake. Add sugar to taste to the juice and cook again until you take the point of jam.

Random thoughts...

Is that asking too much?
Because that's all I really want...



I think I might have said that many times to you... I think it's a shame it'll probably never come true...

But I'd still like to say...

I tried to save a dog today

Day 40 Project 365, originally uploaded by Crafty_witchy_girl.

This little yorkshire was attacked by my stray dogs Pluto, Quinho and Saci this afternoon. They would have killed him if I didn't helped.

The poor litle thing was in shock.
I took him to the vet and he needed some x-rays. He got an injury in his spine next to his neck and the doctor said we need to wait to see if he will be able to walk again.

When I was comming back home his neighbors saw me and called his home maid, so I gave him back to her. I hope he can recover completely.

Update: I went there the other day to ask the owner about how was the dog. There was no one at home, but a neighbor told me he died that same night...

The missing piece

You are the missing piece to my puzzle...

Elvira

This is Elvira, my personal Toy voyager. Sometimes I take her out to do some stuff. I'll try to post more pictures of her more often. She was named after Elvira, the Queen of the darkness. I think that is an awsome movie. Definately one of my favorites...

Today I took my Elvira for a ride. We visited the Sanctuary where is burried Father Reus in São Leopoldo/RS.

Goodbye my lover, Goodbye my friend

www.scrapeveryone.com

Very recently, I thougth I've had found my true love. He was a very, very dear friend, someone who I adore. He was so polite, kind, very handsome... A perfect prince. He was the man I asked heaven... But I guess it just wasn't meant to be, because he couldn't understand my time, my needs, my fears... I don't have anything to complain about him. No rage or anger... I completely understand it must have been my very own fault, for not being the perfect girl for him, for being a coward, for falling in love for him... Now he's walking away from my life and we're not going to be friends anymore. I'm going to miss him like hell...
He was my very best friend for a few years. We actually never met, but I wished so much I could touch his hair, his skin, to kiss his lips, sleep in his arms... I wish he could have been the father to my children, the man who would live with me until the end of our days...
I'd like to dedicate this song for him. I wish I have written this words, because it seems to apply very well to what I feel and think of him.

My view of love

There's a song from U2 that says a lot about my vision of love. I totally agree that "love is blindness", or kind of it...



I believe true love is kind, patient, understanding... It accepts us the way we are, despite of our failures and flaws. It remains by our side in difficulty times and give us strenght when we can't find it in ourselves.
I think a man, to be a good partner, must be three things: a lover, a friend and a bit of father.
A lover because we want to feel desired, a friend because we want to have companionship, and a father because we want someone to take care of us, to protect us sometimes...

And a woman must be to her man a lover, a friend and a mother as well. That's the way I believe true love works. That's the way I believe it's possible to accept each other's flaws (since no one is perfect), and to make a relationship work out...

That's what I hope to find in a man someday.
