A safe haven for a dog

Tomorrow we leave this hotel in Kathmandu and move to one which will be closer to the wedding venue. On the way, we have to stop at a tailor’s opposite the Australian embassy and pick up a daura surawal or traditional Nepali suit which Vince will wear to the wedding. We attend wedding festivities on both Thursday and Friday. On Saturday we return to Kathmandu then catch a bus to Pokhara on Sunday morning. It will take most of the day to travel the several hundred miles. We stay in Pokhara for two nights then catch another bus to Lumbini where we’ll stay for another two nights. I’m not sure what access we’ll have to the internet. I’ve been lucky to have been able to myLot as much as I have over the week we’ve been in Kathmandu. So if I’m not here, then I’ll be somewhere in Nepal and hopefully having fun. The photo is of a small store which sold a variety of items but I loved the thoughtfulness of the owner in providing a box for his dog to sleep in.

I like your shot. I suppose here in the US we actually spoil our dogs for the most part. I know I do. It's sweet of the owner to provide shelter for his dog but I can't help but think how much better it would be if the pup had a pillow

I've noticed that about many countries where dogs are allowed to roam freely @JudyEv

There are a great many dogs here - most sleeping 'rough'. I think this one is quite lucky really. He does seem to have some sort of covering to lie on.

@rebelann There is another guest at this B&B and he is volunteering for three months at a facility that treats street dogs. This is in Nepal.

That is a great place for the dog, all tucked away and all. Have fun with the wedding festivities!

@JudyEv So what will you be wearing to the wedding? So the dog stays in the store in his or her box?

I will be wearing Western formal gear - probably slacks (but maybe a long skirt) and a top. I have a pashmina to wear too.

The roads are very, very rough. I don't know how the cars don't shake to pieces.

There are many dogs roaming around. I don't know who they all belong to.

@amitkokiladitya I think most are street dogs. Sometimes one will have a collar.

I think it might be incredibly noisy and a very long ceremony but I'm sure it will be interesting if nothing else.

The dog? I really try to keep my eyes open so I don't miss things. There is so much out there that is interesting but some people never seem to see any of it.

He does, doesn't he? He wasn't interested in looking up to have his photo taken.

We've moved to our new place which was a bit of an ordeal. The roads here are incredibly rough.

It does seem very safe although apparently there is now some pickpocketing occasionally.

We had an epic journey up this steep hill today but we're here now. I'm surprised the car didn't shake to pieces.
