More animals



This is the German Shepherd of Rocío's sister Maria Isabel. He's called Rex and is four years old. At first, he can be quite reserved towards new people and show some guarding instinct, as was the case with me also, but in no time we became friends and now he's just a playful, happy dog that enjoys the company of the people he knows (the secret to this might be the chicken treats and sausages I took with me the first couple of times ;)...
Something you won't see in Finland are geckos, that during the night come out of their shelters and can be seen on the walls of the older houses. They do not present any harm - on the contrary they provide a useful service to people by feeding on unwanted or harmful insects. If you want to know more, click here.

In the corner of the utility room in Rocío's house lives the family-spider... Well, perhaps its not really considered a pet by anyone, but an impressive web-maker he/she is!
