They let her run in the evening and she has returned twice for a meal of leftovers and some petting. When she first arrived , she ate a little bit but then drank of huge amount for somebody so small. A little while later she ate enough to feed a Labrador.
We weren't really in a position to have a dog just yet, since we haven't bought land. I checked yesterday and she had a spot to get out of the sun and had food and water. I will keep an eye on the situation, to make sure that it doesn't happen again.
There are stray kids all over this part of the city. I sometimes buy a little extra when i go to the fried chicken place , but i will not give them money, since they immediately go into 7-eleven and turn it into sugar. Animal welfare is definitely not a top of mind thing for most people or the government . There's nobody to call about these things.

Great reading thusfar though I skipped a fair bit in the middle.
Phillipines is high on my list to visit next. If i may ask, you wrote some woman at a market walked up and spit on you. Any idea why she did this? Is this kind of animosity to foreigners common in Cebu? In Manila?
