It was an absolute pleasure to have had the opportunity to care for Daniela’s four beautiful darlings, Preshus, Nano, Pepita and Pushkin.
Daniela’s home is a beautiful Artist home – light filled, soft and woolly, designed by Daniela herself. The home is very spacious, full of natural light, art and a plethora of books. The guest room where we stayed has views of the beautiful churches and felt a bit like sleeping in the treetops. The kitchen is also fully equipped for cooking and baking. The neighborhood is one of our personal favorites in SMA with an abundance of restaurants and cafes a street away and Centro just a short 20 minute stroll. Daniela provided extensive, informative instructions and was in constant communication during her time away. We felt very comfortable and equipped to care for her fur family.
But the highlight for our stay was spending time with her beautiful fur family. Preshus is a sweet natured, gentle soul. Loveable and always by your side. The excitement she displays when she hears ‘vamanos’ for her daily walks is adorable. The cats all have their own endearing personalities. Nano is independent yet loves his cuddles and lap sits and would often come upstairs to greet us in bed in the morning. Despite having leukemia, he’s a very active little fella and it was wonderful to see him increasingly thrive during our stay after taking rounds of new medication. Pushkin loves a natter, he would often come over to us for a chat. Seeing his head down the plant jug as opposed to drinking from his water bowl always gave us a laugh. Then there is sweet little Pepita or ‘Pebble’. Very shy and reserved however by the end of our six week stay, she was out of her hiding place and spending time with us in the lounge. We truly adore these beautiful rescue animals. We even had the opportunity to meet Musgo and Lana, Daniela’s two pet donkeys, which was a great experience.
A heartfelt thank you, Daniela, for having us stay in your beautiful home and look after your darlings. We look forward to catching up with you and the fur family again in San Miguel.
