Poor Jack. I was walking the dogs real early this morning when we were surprised by a very large Rotweiler cross. All 5 dogs jumped at it but it did not back down one bit. The littlest one, Jack, being the most aggressive, got the most attention and I could not drag them all back fast enough and the Rotty followed, going after Jack and grabbing him by the neck. At that point I dove onto the Rotty and held it in sumbmission until my dogs were loose then managed to shoo it away. Jack has two puncture marks on his neck and he was a very subdued little boy on the long walk back, but he is fine otherwise. I picked up a stick on the way back and have sanded and varnished it with the intention to bring it on our walks from now on..
After lunch the 3 of us went by bus to the artisan tents along the Tomebamba. There were artisans from many countries like Japan and Argentina, and CIDAP Museum had a display from Indonesia. The heavens opened for a bit and I had to buy a large umbrella for $5. An art lover with unlimited space could certainly go crazy with some of these artworks.. especially the wood carvings.. incredibly beautiful stuff. Other than that, Cristina only bought some $2 earrings so I treated us to a Domino's Pizza, ...my first time there, and I wasn't overly impressed.
No Herederos ride tonight...
I hope you enjoy the photos, all taken with the new Lumix.
That was the
day’s excitement.
Cheers, Al
