dogs

by the time finish work in the restaurant and get home it is between 1-00 and 2-00 am. I own a small dog so I try to get him out for a walk when I get home. Sometimes I just slump in front of the tv and the dog thus looses its walk. Yesterday we went for a longish walk whose duration was nearly an hour. We had another dog join us. I was not overworried as kasrin the town I live in is smallish and dogs tend to be able to navigate their way home from any part of the town. We arrived home the other dog still on tow so I shut the gate and assumed he would wonder of home. He did not and at 4-00 am I thought I heard him outside so I got up-he was there so I let him in. When I went to work I decided to drop him off where I picked him up. I did not take into account that he would not want to travel in my car!!!! As usual I had no time to spare-I could not leave him in my house-so what to do? I left him hoping he would find his way home. I arrived home about 12-30; early for me so I decided to buy some cashew nuts, an odd decision as I have tons of stuff to munch in the house and would you believe it I found the dog there!!!! Yes u guessed he wouldn't get in my car even though he greeted my like a friend. So I left my car in the center and walked home with him.

He is well cared for as u can see in the picture. i phoned my vet before going to work but he did not answer the phone, I feed him morning and evening and now I am going to walk him. A dog of this size needs a lot of exercise not like my little dog!! Picture bellow!!!Will keep u posted. Yes we will walk to where I found him or rather he found us!!!!

spoke to the vet this morning(19-9) and he gave the dog an identity chip and an injection against rabies. even though he had no injections it appears he has an ownerso heres hoping.... Ok I have to get ready for work.....so my dogs (temprarely) will be alone for the next 10 hours or so. They have access to the back garden as I leave the sliding door open for them.

fire on rosh hashanna-jewish new year

Well we were getting organised to celebrate the jewish new year when we smelt smoke.. at first we thought someone was doing a barbque but then it became obvious that the smell was of burning grass and trees came from the valley...many of the people had gone away to family to celebrate the holiday and must have been quite shocked to see the the burnt ground around their houses. By chance on while on my way home I saw the town mayor arriving home , after the fire had been put out and looked visably shaken . The day before new year I drove to Rosh Pinna. To get there on has to cross the Jorden river. The bridges were built for tanks during the 6 day war to drive onto the golan over the river Jorden. About a year and a half ago the roadworks started in order to build one bridge as opposed to two oneway bridges (see picture below) that I had known ever since arriving in the goan 21 years ago!!

This meant one of the bridges was closed and traffic lights were put in place on the second bridge. Anyway I arived to find the new bridge was complete and thus the only traffic light on the Golan no longer exists!!!!!!

I wanted to add a picture of the bridge with the traffic lights ... but anyway here are two older pictures of the bridge.....in a previous generations!!! The fallen bridge I remeber well!!! I will photo and post a picture of the new bridge-meanwile does anyone have a picture of the traffic ligt they will allow me to download here?
