***Couple of good lookin' pooches there, eh? That's Rio (foreground) and Newton. They are my friends' Jason and Kim's companions. A tired dog is a happy dog. Webster Groves, Missouri; recently***
Alright, two weeks from today I will be en route to Rio de Janeiro, how appropriate! I get my last rabies shot on Thursday, just in time for the Fourth of July holiday. Now, while in Brazil, particularly Rio I think, I will see lots and lots of doggies. Crazy, rabid, stray doggies! I'll still try to be kind to them, within reason. I wonder, is it better for a doggie to be stray or waiting for his or her fate in a kennel, whatever that fate may be? I lean toward the former, but the ideal situation would be for people 'round the world to help control the pet population by having their pet spayed or neutered. Really, though, one of the main things I'm looking forward to on my adventure is seeing cool animals, monkeys and stuff. I may or may not go pirahna fishing, though it would be cool to unhook one of those little boogers then eat it, just to say, "I am KING." Of course, I suppose there is a remote chance I will get gnawed alive by a school of pirahnas, but two things to that possibility: One, I have no intention of submerging myself in the Amazon, pirahnas or no. Two, word on the street is that they're not quite as predatory as legend has it. I suppose if you had a deep, bleeding flesh wound you might have a problem if for some reason you decided to go for a dip in the Amazon River while suffering from a deep, bleeding flesh wound.
Amazon River trivia: It is more than one mile wide at its narrowest point.
Bernie trivia: Bernie was about two inches wide at her narrowest point (her cute little nose, which had super short fur that was fun to rub my face on softy).
That's all I got.
