Saturday photoblogging - the Buenos Aires paseaperro

porteños, as the residents of buenos aires are known, love their pets... it seems everyone has a dog or a cat but i think the number of dog-owners may outweigh the cat-owners... being a city of primarily apartment-dwellers, the dogs, naturally, require walking which, naturally, requires time which... well, you can see where this is going... so, again naturally, an entire profession of professional dog-walking has arisen... paseaperros (literally dog-walkers) are ubiquitous in bsas (the local abbreviation for buenos aires) and can be seen all over town from morning until evening... hordes of paseaperros and their charges descend on the beautiful parks to converse and play fútbol while the dogs get acquainted...

needless to say, walking around town presents some specific hazards... you need to watch your step... always and everywhere...
