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.

A walk from Westminster to St Paul's Cathedral

I have decided to put the Thames Path on hold until I am back in London next month and we have more Spring like weather...I will be going into a more rural area that is prone to flooding as well.  I am staying at about five miles maximum a day as well...my knees and feet have been giving me major grief so I am not pushing myself. However that doesn't mean I don't want to walk.  One of my favourite British Walking Federation walks is one that starts at Westminster tube station and covers 10km to St Katherines Docks just east of the Tower of London.  Yesterday I walked as far as St Paul's and will do the rest of the walk in the next couple of days.  Normally I do this entire 10 km walk my first day in London but not this time... So here are some of the highlights along the way....what a gorgeous day it was.  A different view of Big Ben Can you believe this was my first time on Parliament Square Another hero on Parliament Square Classic ...

The Colourful houses of Mazatlan, Mexico

Well this isn't even Throwback Thursday and I am reminiscing about my (all too short) week in Mazatlan, Mexcico in January of 2010.  It was one of my best holidays EVER.  I stayed in a delightful little hotel called La Siesta which was on the waterfront in the central part of town.(known as centro) overlooking the ocean.   I walked around the town photographing buildings, ocean views, dogs....visited the Mercado, attended a fantastic Flamenco dance performance in the restored Teatro (theatre), toasted the sunset with a beer from my balcony every evening and ate at some wonderful restaurants.  I also took a couple of day trips which were okay but my time in Mazatlan overshadowed anything else I did. My one foray into the Gold (tourist) Zone left me horrified and scampering back to my beloved Centro.  And did I mention I did this as a solo trip?  Mexico has had a lot of bad press lately and while there ARE bad things going on there I still believe the average...

Cowboys and Outlaws in the Big Muddy of Saskatchewan

One of the (very) few advantages of being stuck at home during this pandemic has been an opportunity to see more of my home province of Saskatchewan.  Last summer and fall not only did I do a couple of day trips with friends but I took four day tours with Engelheim transport, a local Regina company.   I have to admit my favourite day out was the "Big Muddy Valley and Outlaws" tour. While I had been to the Big Muddy previously many years back I was eager to revisit and learn more of its history.   So in early October, I hopped on board and off we went.  The bus is only booked to half capacity so it was easy to social distance, hand gel was a must each time we boarded the bus,  masks were required when you got on and off the bus and in any buildings we visited.  I felt totally safe and oh my, it was so good to have an adventure!!  Despite the name the Big Muddy isn't a big huge puddle of mud but a valley of badlands that were formed from a glac...
