While Doug is back in the states for a few weeks, I have been preparing for our next trip to all three areas we are placing dogs. Later this month, students from UC Davis will arrive in Mongolia to do research and collect data on livestock and dogs in partnership with our NGO. So in the meantime I am finding vehicles and drivers, contacting local vets and making all other necessary arrangements for the trip. Otherwise it's just been trouble as usual with drunk guys harassing our dogs and our caretaker.
