No one can cheer a man up like his best furry friend. Only a dog possesses unlimited love and loyalty toward humans, and this is what makes him special in a our life. Unfortunately, sometimes dogs are the ones who also make us infinitely sad. Yet, they are not the ones who are to blame for it, but the situations in which they find themselves, most often due to the irresponsible and heartless behavior of the man himself.

As I have written before on this site, I consider even a bad day birding to still be a great walk in the woods. And this Monday was not a spectacular birding day. I had stayed up too late on Sunday night doing church accounting, so I got a late start on Monday morning. (The fact that Mexico recently abandoned daylight saving time has made this problem more serious.) It was drizzling off and on all morning, and never sunny, so the birds weren’t active at all. That drizzle, and one bout of rain, made great photography both unlikely, as well as somewhat risky.
