You spend money to come to Costa Rica where there is an abundance of wildlife, including monkeys, sloths, armadillos, jaguars, agoutis, birds, snakes, etc. . . So, why is it that everyone goes ga-ga for the pups? We had a family down for spring break soon after we returned, and there was a troop of monkeys hanging out in the trees just above our house, including one or two babies that were probably only a few weeks old. . . We were showing the guests who had arrived when one youngster chirped in: "I'm done with the monkeys, let's go play with the puppies." He and his cohorts vamoosed down the trail and went straight back to the pups. The parents, however, ooh-ed and aah-ed over the monkeys and kept taking pictures for several more minutes before retrieving their kids.
Even when we didn't have the pups here, the kids always preferred to play with Bejuca or Mini-B as to seeing a sloth or a monkey. . . And most of the families have dogs back home, so they're not pup-starved. . .
Any thoughts, input on the pooch craze?
