Photo Essay: My Furry Friends Around the World
Posted by llworldtour under Photography , World Travel[4] Comments
As I’ve mentioned many times before…my travels were ultimately all about the people I have met. I’ve made some amazing friends and learned so much. But who says I loved everyone? When not ‘feeling it’ with my human counterparts, I always connected nicely with some international furry friends. I am not talking about Greek guys here (ouch!)…I am talking animals. I encountered many house pets and other creatures in the wild. I hung out with my share of cats, dogs, a guinea pig, a snake, a turtle, goats, kangaroos, camels, and other assorted friends. In actuality, the reason I was originally able to go on my journey at all was because my 11-year-old cat, Sneakers, had to be euthanized due to an illness he was unable to overcome. Until recently, it was one of the saddest and most heartbreaking moments of my life. But because of it, I realized I was able to go on this journey, a journey that changed my life. So along the way, it was always comforting for me to hang with a furry friend from time to time and think about my little “Sneaky Beast.”

Dudette, The pic with the snake is eerie. When you see that, you half expect to see a dancing pole in the background! Heebie, jeebie alert on that one. Quick question, do the dogs and cats in other parts of the world bark or meow with an accent?

I love this page – really cute pictures of all those lovely pets. I’m sorry that your Sneakers died, but great that you’ve gone away on such a big adventure now.

Oh, how cute. I'm sorry to hear about your cat. My husband and I are now fostering for the local cat rescue… it's a great fix for furry-goodness cravings, but minus the commitment so we can still travel.
