The “quédate en casa” signs and announcements are ubiquitous in Oaxaca — and apparently dogs are heeding those orders to “stay at home.” Like their humans, some are using the time for rest and relaxation.
Others are working from home.
And still others are chafing at the bit and can’t wait for the restrictions to be lifted so they can go out and play!
Though Mexico hasn’t yet flattened the Covid-19 curve, the government announced yesterday that beginning May 18, “Municipalities of hope” — those towns without any coronavirus cases and that don’t border any towns with confirmed cases, will be permitted to reopen their economy, public spaces, and schools.

If you miss the live 7:00 PM (CDT) broadcasts, the briefings are archived and available from the same site. By the way, note the respectful demeanor exhibited by government officials — quite a contrast to “you know who.”
Don’t think poor pooches have a choice. They’re locked down.. or rather, up .
I actually think it is their life before, during, and probably after the current pandemic shelter-in-place orders. 😉
I’ll bet the barking dogs of La Cacascada (and other neighborhoods) are still barking! It would be fun to know.
I have no doubt! Are you enjoying the quiet, way up north?
Hello.
Well, here in my country dogs and their owners visit outside many times in a day. Senior citizens are allowed since yesterday to meet their relatives outside. I can say that it has been hard times.
Have a nice day!
I suspect these days are no different for these dogs.;-) Be safe and well!
