| Puppies of Vietnam | Sunday |
| Hoi An, Vietnam | January 27, 2008 |
One thing that we have thoroughly enjoyed about Vietnam is the abundance of puppies. And no, these aren't the type that get eaten. They are the pets of the people who live here. But the great thing is that these puppies are given completely free reign to run about as they see fit. It makes for a wonderful walk down the street visiting all the familiar puppies. It's really quite funny, since these puppies don't have any fancy Purina Chow, they don't get the same nutrients as Western puppies, and are all quite short! We haven't seen a "large" dog the whole time we've been here. What we have seen are what look to be normal sized dogs, with really tiny legs. They are beyond cute. So during our photo outing the other day I took it upon myself to take pictures of all the puppies I came across, and thought I'd share a few with you!
Hope you enjoy! We're off to Bangkok, Thailand tomorrow, and are looking forward to some warmer weather!
Cheers,
Lauren

Stevie: Lauren and Rob Thank you so much for sharing your travel experiences. You have some really wonderful photos here. I really love the pictures on the bicycles and the boats. But the one of the older gentleman squatting is truly wonderful. After seeing some of the weddings you have shot and looking at this picture I believe you have a special talent for capturing the character of people. ( 2008-01-31 19:24:40 )
