Ciudad de los Perros-City of Dogs

This morning I took a run in Shell for 30 minutes and decided to count all the dogs I saw loose.  In this short time I spied 32 different dogs wandering around the streets, not including all those that barked at me from within the confines of gates and fences; that's more than a dog per minute.  Most of the dogs are pretty calm, and if they start coming close, all one usually has to do is bend over and pretend to pick up a rock.  This will usually make the dog run off.  However, it's probably a good idea if we get our rabies shots soon, just in case.  We just "dewormed" our family last week, which is something most missionary families do here every six months.  With deworming and rabies shots for us I'm beginning to feel like a dog myself.
