Embarking upon a special lunch, the APAA Team’s Treasurer and ‘hot’ cookie maker, planning a feast. “Cooking is one of our best ways of entertaining and enjoying people’s company.” Jenny Clarke, The Association for Protection of Animals Algarve, couldn’t agree more. Jackie has played hostess to an array of international cuisines on many occasions. “For the WAD special, we will roll up our sleeves for three international bestsellers, a wonderful choice of mouth-watering salads, starters and deserts.” Crumbs! Jenny laughs. “We don’t do doggie bags.” Is the threesome team working up a steam dream? Jenny, Jackie and VP Jane. Gordon Blue? “We offer our best and hope to attract a few new members.”

Sadly we have learnt that our ginger hit-and-run cat did not survive. The little ginger kitten, a completely unrelated story, taken in and cared for had also failed to get to its first life marker. Dehydrated, dysentery and a mixture of too young to cope. “Even the vet was surprised the little mite had lasted so long.” Cared for by loving hearts until the end. Latest news pups dumped at Pet Park. Follow up next week!
