Taipei Dogs

' Taurus are reliable, focused, practical, and usually right on time.'

Practical definitely a yes, judging that this batch of photos were backlogs from last Christmas, I'm not so certain about my other horoscope traits.

Taipei is an absolute heaven for dogs, owners being city dwellers love to bring their pooches everywhere they go. They get all the oohhhs and arhhs from passerby, many of canines gained frame overnight with people asking for a snapshot with them. All it takes is one person pointing the camera at any one of pooches to gain instant attention. As I found out, the moment after these photos were taken, the admirers just flocked in like bees to honey.

Next to Switzerland, this is the second country I've visited where dogs roamed freely off-leash. Many a times we thought we saw a stray, the next moment the owner turns up...

Once we saw a pooch in the wee hours of the morning, sitting by a road. Just as we wanted to grab it, it strolled back around the corner, down the alley back into this shabby looking shophouse.

Dog heaven it is, where they roam carefree.

Much unlike where we are at staying at the moment. Just this afternoon I was chasing and hunting down two little brats who threw stones at Yumi. She goes bonkers when the postman and garbage collector comes too close to the gate, and there she is sitting in the porch staring at these two monkeys throwing stones at her... and she's still smiling and wagging her tail. One might say that she's naive, but I choose to prefer the word "stupidity".

Hopefully those two won't be doing that anytime soon, while I'm still holding grudge against them. If not, with my last straw, I'll soon be dealing directly with their parents.
