Sorry, H-Dog

We'd like to post this apology to our faithful hound...not that he'll see it, since he lacks computer access and opposable thumbs.

Sorry pup, but we've been adopted by a South American hound.

We watched this little girl trot up and down the street by herself while we were enjoying cafe con leche and tostadas at our favorite morning cafe. Then she curled up behind C's chair. When we got up to leave, she decided to accompany us.

We hissed and cringed each time she was nearly hit by a car, crossing uncontrolled intersections ahead of us. But she always knew just when to stop, even if it was only with a few inches clearance (seriously). She stayed with us for several blocks, until we went into a bank, and lost her. I'm sure she'll find us again.
