My sister Gretchen is on the far right. You can't see her so good, but she is sleeping real happy. Earlier she got to curl up in Fake Daddy's lap. Since only Queen Bitch Olive gets to nap on Fake Daddy, it was very special that Gretchen got to sit there, too.
I asked Gretchen and Amy if they wanted to say something to the world, but Gretchen is chewing her cow hoof, and Amy is sleeping by the water bowl. She has a bed, but she's trying out all the sleeping spots in the house. I don't think the carpet near the water bowl is a good sleeping place, but she's a Lhasa Apso, not a dachshund, and I just don't get how their brains work. I feel real sorry for dogs who aren't dachshunds cuz they're just dumb and wierd.
Okay, world, I hafta take a nap now. Bye!
Louis, you are looking like you're feeling right at home, precious pup! Yeah, you're the bestest doxie longhair boy in the whole wide world, just like Mama's always said :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Gretchen has made herself at home in Fake Daddy's lap. She does have a thing for the hooman boys, don't we know it Louis.
Wish you and the girls were here with me in Kabul, but it ain't no place for dogs, lemme tell ya. Rabies is a real risk here, and so people are terrified of dogs and will often beat them before running away. I've only seen one dog on the street in the week that I've been here and only heard one dog bark at night. But there was dog food and treats in the ex-pat grocery store, so someone must have brought their dog!
Sweet little Amy. Like we always barked, she ain't no doxie, that's for sure. Make sure you are nice to her and let her know you're around.
Mama thinks about you often and you remain forever in her heart.
Hello Precious Pups,
ReplyDeleteIt's already Wednesday afternoon in Kabul and your Auntie Casey is getting ready to fly back home. Doggone it, I really miss you!
Yesterday I thought about you when I visited 5! girls schools just north of Kabul. Four are in rooms in people's homes. At one of the schools Mrs. Marofa and I were served lunch. As honored guests we were served 2 pieces of seasoned boiled beef, a potato, spicy soup broth, and fried egg. (That's for both of us.) And of course big long pieces of bread, the Afghan staple. It was the generous equivalent of being taken to eat at a steak house in the US!
As I sat there, I knew that most Afghans only have bread to eat and reflected on the fact that you pups eat better than the majority of children here. You have a warm, safe home with lots of blankets to sleep on--again, more than most children here have.
Your yard is safe. There isn't any UXO (unexploded mine ordinance) to step on with your paws. This is the world's most mined country, with thousands (over 400 in 2009) of deaths and injuries each year from UXO, many of them children.
Remember how lucky you are to be at Wienerwonderland!
Your Mama sends all her love and doxie hugs
