I wanted to title this post "Making it through a pandemic with dogs for company," but that was too long! We are staying at home in Chichicastenango every day of the week but one, when Michael goes shopping. Veronica and I (Heather/Erica) go with him and wait in the car. It isn't a very social outing, but at least we get out of the house! During the long days at home, it is nice to have a dog's company!
On the other hand, having a dog around can also be hilarious, as our other dog Dorado has demonstrated recently. We had been separating out our burnable trash into a bucket with an easily removable lid, which Dorado got into easily.
I assured my family that the other trash cans, where we separate the food from other items, would be harder to get into because the dog's head would get trapped... I went outside for two minutes and came back in to this scene! Hahaha. Guess it wasn't such a problem after all!
Our trash cans, by the way, are now up on plastic tables!
