On our way to look at a possible kennel location for our dogs and cats today, we saw camels, a herd of them, being driven (walking) in the desert. As we got closer to them, we saw that their front legs were hobbled and to the right of us was a herdsman, seated on the backside of one of the camels, driving the herd across the road. A stark contrast to the vehicular mode of transportation in the country, which seems to be mostly Toyota Land Cruisers, white, all with the same detailing. So far, camels are the only wildlife we have seen (ignoring the scorpion that someone found in our compound pool the other day). No photos, sorry. I really need to carry my camera with me at all times.
And no, the kennel did not really meet our expectations. We will probably have to hire someone to come in and care for the animals while we are gone.
