And Now for Something Completely Different ... Puppies

Older son has also started a blog on this trip based on his love of all things canine. At home, he stops to greet every dog he passes, but with the risk of rabies, I had to get him to promise not to do that here. Instead, he's been photographing every dog we pass, and has started to post some of those photos here. He has also shot some video although he says he's a few days away from posting it. I mentioned video of puppies in my Facebook status a couple of days ago, though, and got a request for it. So here is video of three dogs playing in the garden of a house in Hoi An. This is actually pretty fun. One dog wants to play-fight with another, and the third dog keeps getting the other two to play tug-of-war with it. This second video was shot at the Ethnic Minority Village on our DMZ tour. It's one of the village's boys playing with a puppy. Older son forgot to turn the camera off at the end, though, so there's a little snippet of a pig and her piglets at the end.
