The Zoo

As I've mentioned before, we have a bit of a zoo out here in Ariana. The dogs, Samra and Ginger, plus the cat, Jihad, make for a full enough household. About a day and a half ago, Samra gave birth to five puppies. She dug a hole for them out in the yard, and she's taking care of them under some foliage. They're pretty damn cute. They haven't opened their eyes yet, and they mostly just squeal and writhe around when they're not all bundled up together sleeping.

Samra checking in.


That dirty dog in the middle is Samra. I thought about giving her a bath, and then remembered she spends every night in a dirt hole.


Don't let the cute face fool you. Ginger is a plant-eating hellion.


Jihad's been holding up well. She's definitely got some street-cat instincts bred into her.

I've been feeding her some cheese everyday (she loves those Laughing Cow wedges - which you can see on her whiskers) to give her some dairy - I think I took her off a bit too early when she was little.
