Animals, pt 2

i mentioned the camels and sheep, but there's so much more to the animal life here.

everywhere we go there seems to be a random donkey walking along all by itself. we'll be out somewhere without a town for miles, and suddenly see a donkey by the side of the road just going about its business.

in the towns, however, there are random chickens walking around. they just roam the streets freely. if i owned them, i'd be concerned that thursday's dinner would wander off or get taken by the smiths down the street. but i assume they have these things figured out.

i knew to expect the donkeys and the chickens remind me of old western movies. but the weirdest animal related experience is the dogs. packs, actual packs, of dirty dogs walk about the towns looking for scraps. it just seems strange that no one has called the SPCA and put these dogs up for adoption. somebody needs to get on that.
