house/pets

Tyler has been asking me for pictures and so I'm going to post a crapload for everybody!

Here is a picture of our kitchen!




Here is a picture of our house from the outside, complete with laundry line! Our yard is small but nice. We are enclosed by a six-foot wall and a super-fancy locked gate, for security.



Here is a picture of Kili, our dog. Kili had a litter of seven puppies at the beginning of the summer, so she's quite tired of having puppies biting her nipples all the time. She's also tired of how everyone pays more attention to the puppies than to her. She's a really sweet dog; your average overworked mother at the moment.



A very sad thing happened in the first week of my time here: Kili's puppy, Binti (the one puppy Erica chose to keep at the house) was accidentically hit by Erica's car as she pulled into the driveway on a very dark, rainy night. Usually, Binti was smart and didn't go near the car, but it was a horrible accident, and she died immediately. I cried a lot that night! I thought Binti would be my puppy all year long. In memoriam, here is a photo:



Luckily for our souls, we were able to get another of Kili's puppies (he'd been living at the field office of Erica's organization). This one's name is Eddy, and he's an extremely scruffy, lazy, affectionate little guy.



He gets along extremely well with the cats.



The cats, by the way, are Burrito (the blackish one) and Rockstar (the orange and white.)






Now you've seen real African animals.
