Almost 9 months ago I came to live in Mexico to start a company with my Mexican boyfriend. I did spent my first 2 months in Colima, but I knew that I wanted to move to Playa del Carmen..so we did.
From the moment I arrived in Colima I wanted to adopt a dog and I already started looking at the internet for shelters in Playa del Carmen. Then I found the Peanut Pet Shelter!
Although all dogs on the website of Jen and Andy deserve a new loving home and they are all cute, my eye directly fell on the scruffy dog called Mimi. She indeed looked like a cute rat with her blond, curly and rigid hair. Only by seeing the photo she turned a smile on my face.
As soon as we settled in Playa del Carmen I went to a washing day on Saturday. That day I met so many dogs including shy Mimi. I was sure about it, I wanted to take her home. My boyfriend and I arranged some things at home and picked up Mimi.
Mimi has always got a smile on her face and her tail high up in the sky! She loves to come for some cuddles and she is always on my side.
As Mimi has been in the shelter for quite a while, she wasn’t used to ‘strange things’ like cars, bikes and a lot of new noises but she is used to them now!
The funniest thing is that if you want to play with her with a ball, she doesn’t really like the ball. She is curious about it but as soon as she is near it she jumps aside. If she sees her chance she will hide the ball under the couch…to never see it again.
Although Mimi isn’t a ball player, she is the best in running! She is so energetic, she is the fastest dog I have ever seen!! It is kind of funny to see her run as she looks like a galloping horse.. 
At Christmas day we received a gift from the street, a little red cat of about 6 months invited herself in. Nobody knew her and after asking the veterinarian of Bosque Real we decided to keep her and call her Muna.
Mimi is really happy with her new friend, they play and chase around and fall asleep on the same cushion. A happy couple.
For different reasons my boyfriend and I decided to leave Playa and move to my country again. We prepared her for the big trip. She has been chipped and vaccinated etc.
Muna found a loving home in Colima for the time that we need to find a house where we can live all together including my giant rabbit: Lorenzo Corazon.
Mimi is now very happy with her coat, as it is still cold in Holland!!
Thank you for doing such a good job rescuing cats and dogs and finding them new homes. Keep up the good work!
Best wishes from Holanda!
