Camels!






I took the dogs out to Pampered Pets today to be groomed. It is about 25 km out of town, and much to my (and Adam's) delight, we saw camels! I know, we are in the desert, but it is actually rare that we see them out in the wild. They were crossing the small road that leads to the kennel. They even had a herder. There had to be 50 of them, just walking across the road, none of them even bothered by the fact that my car was there next to them. I got some great pics! Notice also how the front legs are chained. I heard that is done so they can't run. I guess they are fast runners, because they actually have camel races in town.
