as promised

better late...

here are those pics i promised. sorry if they take a long time to load; still learning! this is part of the route that i run with alfredo, pood dude. he has so many friends it's hard to make the 1.8 km without interuuptions to greet his peeps.
 typical street in the area; many of the locals live in row houses and everyone has a gated-in yard.
 this is jenny. she is on the trail most mornings and loves using this giant hula hoop thingy.
 cool house on the way to our street. i'm told it's a traditional style for malaysian royalty. just looks pointy to me.
 alfredo with mimi, one of his several lady friends on the trail.

since islamic types are afraid of/ forbidden to touch dogs, most of alfredo's friends are chinese. the women especially are charmed by his handsome looks and will all but chase us down to bury their fingers in his fluff. really, this can be a problem since the trail is very hazardous with upturned bricks, tree roots, the cars that stop to point at him, and the motorcyclists that amuse themselves by seeing how close they can get before i bail out into the drainage ravine. it's downright dangerous! i have been known to take a tumble or two trying to avoid the hazards of having such an unusual and tragically suave pooch. =]

have a great weekend~
