TAIL Christmas Party Appeal Last year a few kind hearted people helped us out by donating gifts for our Christmas fundraiser. We were able to offer a selection of worthwhile services and items as prizes in our raffle and lucky number draw. Coming up on the 8th of December we have this year’s party and we are again hoping for support. We try to offer a varied selection, an example of which would be a meal voucher from a restaurant, a day’s work from a gardener or handyman or anything you feel would be of interest. If you can help in any way please email me. andymann_genesis@yahoo.co.uk Many thanks from all those at TAIL, both two and four legged.

Abandoned Dog – Torrox Campo

May this hopefully be the last post for this poor soul. This brown and white whippet type dog may not be unknown, but I know that the Spanish farmer in Manzano Alto does not want it. He has offered to gift it to another dog walker in the area. Neighbours have fed it and shown it some love and care. He/she has been wondering the campo for around three months now and is just looking for a home. The dog needs someone to take it on once and for all. If anyone is interested contact me and I will find it for you and make arrangements. Quite certain it will not be chipped. Nigel littlenige at mail dot com 633545289

Disappointing Transaction – Lesson Learned I communicated with a ‘gentleman’ in Vélez about an adjustable hospital-type table – the sort which goes over a hospital bed. We arranged to meet at a given time at the bus station there – I don’t live near there – and I gave him my phone number. I also asked for his phone number in case there were any problems, as I’d be meeting him direct from a hospital appointment and didn’t want to leave him hanging around. I never received the man’s phone number and he never turned up for our appointment. This is therefore a word of advice: if you’re buying from anyone and not meeting at either house, make sure you exchange numbers before you set off. It will save you time, money, effort and frustration. Not everyone is as gullible and naïve as I turned out to be! Michael.

Calling all Charity Shops Is there a charity shop in Torrox/Nerja who is short of toys? I have a large box full of them but am not sure which organisation to donate them to. I am sure some places will have more toys than they can cope with, so decided the best thing was to ask who wants them. They are all working when appropriate, clean and in good condition. I can deliver them to Torrox and Nerja areas. Please reply to ilovesmokeynerja @ hotmail .com (nospaces) Janet

Know this cat ? We live on the border of Archez and Canillas de Albaida and have had a ginger tom with a very short tail stealing our cats’ food for at least a year. I am now feeding it but it is upsetting our two so I propose having it neutered and either adopting it or (preferably) finding it a home. It is affectionate and loves a stroke so it’s not feral. So – before I do anything- does anyone know if it has an owner or where it comes from. Helen Tel 629827242

Winter Time ……You got an extra hour in bed as we put the clocks back! Hope you enjoyed the extra sleep!

Non Spanish Residents – Property Tax If you are not a Spanish resident but own a property in Spain, you will need to fill out a tax form each year to declare your “imputed” income from your property (even though you do not rent it out). This should not be confused with your IBI which is a council tax and your Basura tax to cover rubbish collections. You will not necessarily be reminded that you owe Non-Residents’ tax and it is your responsibility to pay it before 31st December each year. Any unpaid tax has to be settled when you sell the property but you may well also be fined and/or be charged late-payment interest. To pay the tax, you need to fill out Modelo 210 which can be downloaded from the Tax Agency’s website (www.agenciatributaria.es). Many people use a tax adviser or gestor to fill in the form but they charge in the region of 100 euros which is often a lot more than the tax itself. We charge 30 euros if the property is in one name or 50 euros if it is jointly owned. Please contact us for further details : nerjalenguas @ yahoo . es (no spaces)

Steven Rowle and the Trouble with Staffys

I was prompted to write this short piece, after recently being called in to TAIL, the dog recue centre in Torrox Costa, to review a dog called Flower. Flower, as can be seen by her picture is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and had been having some problems. The trouble with Staffys is they are on the dangerous dogs list in Spain and have been since 2008, which means you should have a dangerous dogs licence, know as a PPI licence, to keep one. There are quite a few hoops to jump through to get one, including having no criminal record and a psychological test. There must have been a crack-down of late, as there has been a sudden increase in Staffys being abandoned. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier resembles other tough breeds like the American Staffordshire and Pit Bull, and in certain circles in Spain are obtained for fighting, but these sturdy dogs look a lot tougher than they really are. Staffys would much rather romp around and play all day than fight, or even stand around and look imposing. They have a zest for life and love to be with people and they don’t particularly care what the activity is, watching TV, walking, running or going for a ride in the car, the Stafford just wants to be with the people he or she loves. They also don’t like to make their own choices about what to do, and therefore don’t like being left alone, so Staffordshire Bull Terriers are best suited for active families where someone is always at home with them. Despite their imposing look, Staffys are actually very good with children. Toddlers are not always recommended, but older kids who understand a dog’s boundaries will find that a Stafford will gladly accept the role of best friend and playmate. Flower is no exception, after a thorough review and socialisation she has proved she is no different to any other Staffy and just wants a home and to be loved. If you think you could be that person, or you know someone who could, even if they live out of this country, then contact Me or TAIL directly for more info. 665-235-689 951-209-241 stevenrowle@outlook.com http://www.tailtorrox.org/contact-us

Found Cat !

This stunning, friendly, castrated boy has been found in Nerja center ( c/Cristo – Almirante Ferrandiz- around no. 58) apparently looking for somewhere to stay since yesterday evening. Might be that he is strolling around since some days already although you don’t see it as he is in good condition. He has been checked for a chip but none was found. He was found with a collar with bell and an anti-flea collar so he probably has an owner. Does anyone recognise him or know who his owner is please?

Rental Car Problem…..Solved Hurray to my wife Lesley . We were in the UK.Lincolnshire. We needed a car for 4 days and went on-line Car Rentals Kirmington Humberside Airport. Great Lesley only used the car 2 days, 150 miles at the most .She returned the car confronted by a scruffy lazy person at euro car where just signed her off ,no inspection of the car which was – I swear – as she picked it up. 4 weeks later the deposit of 204£ had not been refunded .The euro car claimed she had exceeded her mileage allowance by 1600 miles ???? When Lesley challenged them 5 times they finally sent a copy of the rental from Humberside Euro Car which declared she had travelled 160 miles. Rental cars have now apologised and refunded the 204 £ with 20 percent discount ! !!!. The moral of the story is stick to your rights .Well done Lesley .

On October 20, 2017October 19, 2017 By Naythan

New Women’s Group ? I have been wondering lately how many women there are in the Torrox /Nerja area who would like to get together to form new friendships. A bit like a book club without the books. An informal discussion of a topic we choose the week/month before – mothers and daughters/sons, trust, health, that sort of thing. The list is endless. Basically anything under the sun. A good gossip around a chosen topic. No decision yet on where or how often we meet. I suppose that depends on numbers. Let me know what you think. I think it’s something I’d enjoy. Hopefully somebody else does too.
Please email me on lamcg59@googlemail.com

Services Available-Electricity Disruption

Many times, when there is a storm (thunder/lightning), the supply will often trip out, it is always the main switch (RCD/RCB) “Interruptor diferencial in Spain” in the consumer unit that trips.

In this case, it is possible to install a Self-reclosing RCCB to ensure service continuity.

On October 18, 2017October 17, 2017 By Naythan

Lost Dog is not Lost I did try to send a text to Mette and Arne who put the photo of the dog in Digame yesterday but I’m not sure it went OK. This is the second time that this dog has been in Digame but he is not lost, He belongs to a Spanish neighbour and it has a tendency to roam the campo whilst it is out of its compound. He tries to lock it into his stable or greenhouse, but it escapes. If a dog is fed by someone else he will no doubt want to keep returning to them so we do not encourage or feed any loose dog we see as it probably does belong to someone. Barbara

Misty

He is wonderful with children, currently shares my home with five cats and is very proficient with the cat flap although is happy to be in the house during the day and is shut in at night, either sleeping on the sofa or on my bed! Please can someone offer my special little boy a new home, which he deserves? Thank you. Please contact Lisa Gordon on 619 31 78 60 or email lisagordon65 @ hotmail.com

We Have Found a Lost Dog

He has a necklace in Andalucian colors, but no chip. Contact: Mette and Arne Fjeldberg, tlf. 0034 640 219 615

We Have Found a Lost Dog ? We’ve found a lovely little dog, in our bed, who has managed to jump up, get through the wreckers of our bedroom, come in and settle in!! She has spent three of the past five nights with us and seems to be making a habit of it. She is small, has a longish snout, and is white with large, reddish-brown spots, ears and short tail. She has a black collar and two thin metal plates with numbers engraved on them. We cannot keep the dog, although she’s as friendly as can be, so we are hoping that someone is looking for her.Any suggestions by a shelter or somebody in the know would be welcome as we don’t know exactly know what to do if she keeps coming back. We live just outside and above Competa on the road which joins the cafe Venta de Palma and the petrol station, not far from the pet shop. Contact us on 634351754 or write to: puchkauzon1@gmail.com. Thanks in advance, Paul

Animal Cruelty Law – update Just to add to the info given about animal protection law on the 16th, it was approved in Andalucía in 2003 so since then mutilations on pets have been illegal here. The new law is for Spain as a whole. Gunila, Naturvets Competa (Many thanks to Gunila)

Bonfires – Still Illegal Throughout Andalucia For those who have not read the news – The Junta de Andalucia has continued the ban on bonfires throughout Andalucia until at least October 31st. They will review again nearer the time. Mave – Competa

European pet protection and animal welfare law passed in Spain
A European directive on animal protection will finally enter Spanish law and come into force in February – 30 years after it was passed. Among other requisites, the new law will ban docking or removing tails, cutting ears and de-clawing unless they are for purely medical reasons, meaning these practices for aesthetic means, to stop cats ruining furniture or to make hunting hounds more aggressive by slicing their ears off will now be outlawed. Anyone who attempts to carry out any of these operations on their domestic animals will be refused by the vet https://www.eyeonspain.com/blogs/spainnews/17673/european-pet-protection-and-animal-welfare-law-passed-in-spain.aspx
