Puppies and Pedicures

Since a good portion of my Ecuador pictures are of dogs that I have encountered here, I decided to dedicate a blog to them. There are so many dogs here that live on the streets. It is sad and disgusting. In the recent years the government has started to put them in shelters to take care of this problem so there are less homeless dogs than past years. Other than that, the rest of the dogs that people have as pets are clean and super cute! That means I get to play with them :) Here are the dogs I have fallen in love with so far.

 

This was the first dog I could actually hold here! It looks like a coyote. It was at the welcome party for the international students in December. 

 This is a ONE month old puppy that someone brought to the university one day! So cute and relaxed! 

Here is a dog named Coco that we encountered in Baños. 

I think this is the most beautiful puppy I have ever seen. Her name is "Tormenta" which means storm in Spanish. Absolutely beautiful dog. 

These are my friend's two German Shepherds 

(Pastor Aleman). He has three in total!

The other part of this post is about pedicures. You can get a pedicure for 5 bucks here! I am totally going to miss that when I go home :( I have only gotten 2 since being here. I plan on getting a Christmas inspired pedicure right before heading back to the USA.
