Who doesn't love a puppy? They are so sweet and cute and fluffy and they smell so nice. Here is a photo of our little 6 -week old girl. We are still deciding on a name for her. She is quite a contrast to our hulking dog Spotty (pictured in a previous entry) and will be lots of fun for all of us. Of course, she arrives in the very week that Benjamin appears to be potty-trained . . . so now it is back to square one for training someone else - the dog. Hopefully she'll learn quickly and we are thankful for the tile floors.
Here she is with her bowl. . . ain't she cute? She came from other "missionary dogs", the dogs of our AIM colleagues the Slaytons. They are currently on home assignment, but our other colleague, Sueli, and the folks who are living in the Slaytons' house have been caring for the puppies and getting them ready to go out. Dogs like this are a HOT commodity around here - everyone wants a good guard dog because of the crime situation. You have to be careful that your puppy doesn't get stolen, though! We are thankful to have a yard enclosed by a high wall, which is already occupied by our 12 year old Chow dog, who will protect the newcomer. She is actually afraid of the puppy (as are our cats) but doesn't seem to be acting aggressive.
We are so thankful for this dog, who will be a great guard dog (just because she is scary-looking) and also a wonderful family dog if we raise her right. - Cami
