Dog Nation

Maybe it's an exaggeration that South Africa is a dog nation, but certainly our neighbourhood is. I think every house has at least one, if not two, dogs protecting the property. And these are not little weiny dogs - there are some that stand as tall as my armpit. Of course, it makes me miss our own crazy Sydney, back at home (pictured just after we got her - Jan. 2007). I'm definitely a dog person (beyond the fact that I'm allergic to cats).
