Stray-dog Symphony

There are lots of stray dogs here, many walking around who look pregnant or like they just gave birth. It seems like I've seen people feeding them, and I think the monks at the monastaries take care of them too. I've heard that in India, it is much worse, and that people kick and don't take care of all the strays. I absolutely love dogs, and most seem pretty happy, a lot look like they aren't in great shape. Anyway, two nights in a row, I cannot sleep because they seem to be barking all night long!! Every time a plane flies overhead too, for at least 5 minutes, all that you can hear is every dog within a one-mile radius barking! :)
