Making friends with strays...





Yesterday I took a walk to a place called Bhagsu, which is a couple of km’s up the hill from where I currently reside.  It is so good to be out in the sunshine... sigh... and yes, I put sunblock on my bald head!  Near the waterfall (which is one of the central features of Bhagsu), I noticed that the dog I had just passed had decided to follow me.  Now there are a lot of dogs which just live on the streets – they are kind of free range dogs, and you never know what mood they are in.  So anyway, this dog decided to befriend me and when I was sitting by the waterfall was sitting right next to me – that is him in the pic...  A short while later another dog arrived – I think it was my friends brother, only he had mange, and he wanted to sit on my lap so I had to hold him off, and he was happy with me just having my hand on him.  I thought that if I caught mange from him, then the hairloss thing will not be such a huge issue for me... ;-)
In the evening I went to watch a dvd on the Tibetan issue, and found that quite sad, as it was quite graphic and showed some horrific footage about things that have happened in Tibet.
