Sunny walks over Tet

Hanoi has once again been gripped by cold and grey weather, but last week, over Tet, it was unseasonably mild. Here are some photos from around Hanoi.
Another ‘you see something new in Hanoi everyday’ moment… A rooster on a perch.
A funky barber near the martyr memorial – a complete contrast from most barbers who are retired old men.
While Tala is usually a model dog citizen around Hanoi, her leash reactivity around our flat is something we are trying to work on. The usually mild-mannered sighthound turns into this angry, scared creature pictured below when a leashed dog walks down ‘her’ sidewalk by our flat. As you can see the dog is way down the road hence her standing up to see it better! Any tips on what best to do? p.s. food does not interest her a bit in these situations…
For the new year I’ve changed the ‘theme’ of my blog. I hope the new one works better to display my posts in a more clear and organized way. I have also entered the world of Instagram (please see the bar on the right) so please do follow me if you want to see more frequent photos of Tala or quirky things I see around Hanoi.
I hope everyone in Vietnam enjoyed the Tet holidays!
Gosh, if the leash reactivity is the worst if your problems, then you’re doing well! Tala’s brother is a nightmare no matter where we are!
Aggresive or just wimpyly trying to drag away? I still think this probably all comes down to that crucial period during 2-4 months when they need to be walked, socialised etc. and you guys didn’t have him yet. Plus mad Jackson can’t help?! we need another litter mate to do a more comprehensive study! What do you do walk wise in Rome?
Beautiful pics as usual. Pretty sure Bramble has some issues too although Warren is masterful at keeping her in control. Hopefully Bramble and Tala will be reunited somewhere, sometime!
