How One Small Act of Kindness Went Terribly Wrong

Though it won’t stop me from doing it again

I can truthfully say that in the last 10 years I’ve become exceptionally kind, moreso in the last 3 years for sure! And I’ve become oddly attached to street dogs.

Now don’t get me wrong. I’ve always liked dogs but lately, I fucking love them. So much so that my new long term goal is to open a sanctuary here in Guatemala just for stray and abandoned dogs and puppies.

Incoming odd side note -your purpose in life and goals may change often.

Anyway so this crazy attachment I have with dogs has resulted in me becoming the crazy dog lady. I’m cool with that. I’ve been called a lot worse.

Dog food everywhere

So just to put this in perspective for you, you need to know 2 things:

  • There is an insane amount of street dogs in the town I live in, and
  • I carry dog food with me everywhere I go, no matter what… my scooter has dog food, my back pack has dog food and if I’m out walking without my back pack and I see a dog looking for food, I’ll go to the store and get some.

You can see, I fucking love dogs. I try to volunteer where I can and help when I can.
