My Blog, started to record my adventures as I headed off to live and work in Sri Lanka for a couple of years in March 2006. The blog is now a general record of what I am doing, I have also added the VSO process detail from April 2005 for new Volunteers reading it. Please note: the views expressed in this blog are the author's own and do not necessarily reflect those of VSO.

Wild Dogs
There are lots of dogs here, few in good condition, most have mange, I am sure all have fleas. I am sure you would be doing most a favour if you put them down as they have really bad injuries, diseases and sores. They wander about out of control and are just ignored most of the time. At night they can be really noisy, howling and barking, nobody seems to mind. A few of the INGO’s seem to adopt the dogs whilst they are here, although what happens when they go I am not sure. After being woken up last night by a pack howling I wasn’t too sympathetic when an email was circulated from the German INGO, HELP, saying they had lost theirs, including a picture!
