3 weeks. 4 dogs. 1 birthday

There are literally thousands of dogs here on the streets, scratching
a living on the side of every road, doing surprisingly well
considering the lack of rubbish (and food) on the streets compared to
a year ago. It's also amazing how they manage to avoid the erratic
driving here. Well, most of them manage to. Spare a thought for these,
the unluckier dogs in the world. I've seen two lying by the road - I
don't think they were sleeping. Another one on this sunny morning was
not sleeping but was certainly immobile. It's my dog's 9th birthday
today - even if it's not a special day today, i'm sure she'll have a
better time than some. Sorry for low tone today, it's interesting how
some dogs (and people, for that matter) will have a much better day
today, depending on which continent they were born in.
