I always travel with life-sized stuffed dogs of different breeds, and position them strategically in my photographs.
Everyone knows that.

Well, I see no reason to doubt you.
I photographed that very bar last October. There was definitely no dog on the adjoining roof that day, or the next! Do yourself a favour Michael and have a drink inside - but after 5 PM. What a hoot.
You are lucky to be there for such an extended stay. Sadly I was only in San Miguel and the nearby city of Guanajuato for 4 short days. Both are incredible locations for a photographic journey.

San Miguel has an incredible number of great (but somewhat pricey) restaurants for a city of that size. It has many bars like the one in your photo - seedy bars that look like a typical old fashioned western saloons, swinging doors, long bar.....cheap booze.
Someone told me the presence of the swinging doors meant that women were not allowed. I never thought to verify this.
So jealous, as we sit here in Toronto under a foot of fresh snow.
Keep living the dream, Michael.
