dogs eating poop

I read Mary's post and just had to reply about dogs eating bathroom things! In the mountains here, the dogs are the sewer service. When you poop (or vomit), they come along and eat it. This has its ups and its downs. It means that when you have to poop in the middle of the night, you dont have to walk too far from the house because it will be gone by morning anyway. This is good because it is SO dark at night that if you go too far to poop and cant find the house with the flashlight, it is easy to get turned around and end up walking off in some random direction looking for the house. It is only not good because it is creepy that sometimes they surround you and watch you poop or brush your teeth or whatever even if you arent pooping. I find that weird and usually try to shoo them away. And, in the house I live in right now, there is a toilet so this isnt a problem. Not that it has running water, and I share it with fire ants and a spider that is only out at night, and one creepy beetle, but at least I'm not surrounded by hungry dogs when I poop!

And I miss the homework, is that weird?

I'm glad Pat is better! what did you feed him that made him so sick?

Amy-Im glad you liked Dr. Hobbs. You will have to tell me about this in person when I get back.
And, I think sometimes of things I would like to do when I get back-one is use your bike Julia. I bought a super crappy bike here and cant wait to use a real bike again! The other is go to the wine bar you mentioned Amy. That sounds gorgeous right now, especially if there is AC.

now im off to find a patisserie. I was liking the food here until I realized that I am literally eating flour and water at almost every meal. The mangoes are great, but mango season is almost over...
