Xcalak dog days

We will have more posts, especially, now that we have more frequent access to the internet!  Below is a story from one afternoon in the lovely beachside town of Xcalak, Quintana Roo, Mexico.

So, one afternoon, Matt and I are kickin’ back at Toby’s, when we spy a couple local pups conspiring on how to get an afternoon snack!  The pictures should speak for themselves, but pay attention to the two different methods the dogs used…

First they have found WHERE lunch is going to come from

Now, who gets to go first?

Method One

OK, that worked…

Method Two

Take a good look INSIDE trash can, I wasn’t quick enough to get him jumping in!

No one sees me…

SCORE!

The truth is somebody besides us DID see him.  A young lady was walking down the street and I greeted her with a cheerful “Buenos Tardes”.  She very politely responded, while trying to figure out why I was laughing and taking pictures of a trash can.  I told what was under way and to keep an eye on the can.  Sure enough he pops his head out and her eyes got wide and she covered her mouth (much like a Geisha would) and giggled loudly, turned and ran the other way calling a lady’s name.  The dog belonged to the hotel owner two doors down!
