Who let the Dogs Out?


I don't know if I've talked about the dogs here before, and if I have..let me apologize for the redundant comments. When I was researching about Mendoza, obviously one topic matter I looked for was what shots did I need to get. One of them was a possible rabies shot because of the many stray dogs they have here. Well, let me tell you. I have never seen so many loose dogs walking around in my life. It would be different if they were all mutts with mange, but let me tell you don't be confused. There are some pure breeds here that have no homes and it's just crazy because where I'm from some people treat their dogs better than their spouses. I have walked by countless terriers, chows, great Danes, Alaskan huskies, and the list just goes on and on! So...interesting to see the dogs that most people pay an arm and a leg for just aimlessly walking around the city. There's the usual 'mutts', but there are some great diamonds here as well. There's a mixed breed dog here that I have no clue what it is, but I swear to you I would believe werewolves are real. It's the size of the kiosco magazine booths here, with very sharp wolf features. It's really crazy.

Also another thing, did we transfer all the Classic American cars here? I'm constantly surprised to see vehicles, that I would normally see at some car show/festival, driving down the road. I know some men (ladies too)that would drool over the cars here.

Sorry it's taken so much with another update. I've decided to really schedule myself and try to update every Saturday. So that way I would have a routine for my blog.

I'm doing well, still miss the quirks of home, for example I would kill for a bottle of Louisiana Hot Sauce or Chips and Cheese Dip.

I have a pretty set standard routine now, I teach English on Tuesday and Thursdays. My student is named Laura and she runs three different wineries here. Class time is always an adventure and full of charades. Father's Day is tomorrow and I have purchased my host dad the cupcake of Argentina. I would bring some back, but all they really glorified moon pies...noot my cup of tea. Anyways, it's late and I need to be in tip top shape for the dia de los padres.

Suerte,

Kolby
