Dogs I have met around the world - for dog lovers only!!!

Well you knew it had to come sooner and later right?  Here is a collection of photographs of dogs around the world...some are strays and others are much loved family pets.  Enjoy!!!

Stray on Manuel Antonio beach, Costa Rica - needless to say she got some of my meal.  Those eyes and those big big ears...how could I resist? 

Cutie in Paris - I will leave it up to you to decide who the real cutie is here:) 

Homeless person's dog, London 

Me and one of the puppies at the Maharajah's palace in Keraula, India.  Parents were Simon & Simone.

Stray - pretty well fed so probably the local shopkeepers fed this dog.  India.

Another Indian stray....

I cried when I saw this dog - I fed it but what can you do.  Life can be cruel.  I found the Indian dogs to be so polite; even though they were starving they all waited their turn to be fed.  Broke my heart.

Jordanian dog and it's "person" at Petra?  Or a stray with a new friend.

Another stray puppy. 

One of the many dogs at Petra...he looks pretty well fed.

Beautiful Sheena - sweet doggie that belonged to my friends  Nancy and Tom in Hay River, NWT.  RIP sweet girl. 

Ben and Sunshine - my friends and hosts in Ottawa!

My cousin Miss Maggie in Lethbridge, Alberta


Mr. Casper my buddy in Chicago land.  My first and only (so far) "away" dogsit. 

Probable stray in Peru

This dog wanted to come in the van with us!

Absolutely adorable dog in Peru - I called the dogs in Peru "Disney dogs" as a lot of them looked like this.

Dog in Amazon rain forest - this was a dog with an attitude.  We would hear him every night running along the banks of the river barking at everything - how he evaded the crocodiles and other things I don't know as he was blind in one eye.  A real character!

I love this photo!!!  Two sleepy friends in Lima, Peru. 

Lima, Peru
Homeless person's dog, London

Stray, Mazatlan, Mexico.  This dog was all over the street - nearly got hit so many times. 

Eeee chihuahua!!!  Mazatlan, Mexico

Newfoundland dog, Bay Bulls, Newfoundland

Inuvik, NWT - didn't know if he was a stray or not. 

My favourite....stray dog at Bouddhanath Stupa, Kathmandu, Nepal. 

Pampered pooch at guest house in Salzburg, Austria

One of the sled dogs at Muk Tuk kennels in Whitehorse - staying here was one of the highlights of my life. 





 Angus the hostel dog at the Beez Kneez hostel in Whitehorse, Yukon. 
Dog at the home stay in Cambodia - a guard dog, not a pet :( 

A dog that hung out at the river resort in Kampot - it played with the dog below but probably a stray who gets fed by the tourists.  Obviously it's had a tough life.

Resident doggie at our river resort in Kampot having a snooze...we figure someone put that t-shirt on her a while ago and it's never been taken off.  Hard to believe but she was a bundle of energy.

Wandering dog on Rabbit Island - I think he got fed pretty well by the tourists and vendors.

Peeing on fish or a fish out of water

Well this morning we headed off by boat to Siem Reap.  Due to the low water on the Tonie Sap Lake (more like a river until near the end of the trip when it widened considerably) the trip would be an 8 hour one... It was supposed to be boring but ended up as anything but...in no certain order...let's see.... We had a rest stop (turned out to be the only one) along the way and the loo was just a hole over the lake and there were fish circling around underneath.  Yes it was just a hole in the floor...you definitely had someone watch your stuff while you went in or one false move and your camera/purse or whatever would be in the lake.  The fish either like the warm pee coming in or they are pervs and like to see ladies parts.  We were just a few minutes out when all of a sudden there was something flying over me and jumping all over the floor - a little fish!  Guess he wanted to join the tour.  Roger reached down and scooped him up while I hooted and hollered.  Okay it wasn&#

A walk along the coffin trail (and a couple of lakes) in the Lake District

While in the Lake District I wanted to do some light walking but not heavy duty hiking where I could easily get lost and my body not found for days partially eaten by hungry...sheep?  Anyway, you get the drift...not too grueling and safe for a solo walker.  I get a bit nervous when I am too far from civilization. There are lots of books about walking in the Lake District but they seem to be all about walking the fells in remote places...neither Thelma nor I fancied that.  While browsing in the post office/shop in Ambleside one day (if you are ever in Ambleside you must go there - a treasure!) I found a stand of walk descriptions on post cards.  And there I found my walk.  After all who could resist a stroll on the "coffin trail" in William Wordsworth country... I took a look and thought hmm...cafe along the route...that works for me. (with at least the security of knowing there was an available "loo" along the way.)  Okay, I may not have totally followed the

The highlights of my Fall 2023 trip

I'm back home after a great six weeks away. This was a "short" trip for me.  So here we go with an overview of my trip.   London London for me is always a good idea.  I fell in love with it back in the mid 70's and it's been calling me back ever since. Some of the best things in my life have happened in London.  When I learned my two Oz friends Loraine and Linda were going to be in London in the fall I knew I had to be there.  And what fun we had!!  Of course, I did loads of other things as well.  I spent two weeks there from mid September until very early October and then back again for four nights at the end of October before flying home.   After over five years (delayed for two and a half years thanks to Covid) of walking, I finally finished the 126 km Capital Ring.  The picture above is taken at the end of my walk and where I started in May of 2018 at the main door of Streatham Common station just steps from my B and B.  What a walk!  I got to see so much more
