Dogs of Belize, Part 1


San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize C.A.

Besides being incredibly kind and welcoming, the citizens of San Pedro are good caretakers of their pets. We saw a few cats, but mostly we saw dogs. Walking down the streets, in the shops, in the restaurants, wandering in and out of diving and excursion shops, meeting each other on the beach, and one especially prevalent dog who LOVED to retrieve water bottles thrown into the sea. Most of the dogs wear collars, but rarely were they on leashes.

So, that's the theme for today. The Dogs of Belize.

(I can't figure out how to delete the photo of the flower or whatever it is. So pretend it's a dog.)

(Never mind. I deleted it.)

I think that we could work that out. Surely there's someone who'll give us an advance.

That's nice to hear that the dogs are taken care of. Unlike Nassau, where they are dirty, mangy and bony and you are half afraid to walk past them for fear they will follow!

One of the things I enjoyed in the Caymans is the dog at the shore that kept running in and pulling rocks out and bringing them up on the sand...back and forth back and forth. He was having a good time and staying cool!
