Dogs

We have been here in Samoa a little over three months and the landlady has left her dogs for at least one month of that time (five times--at least a week each time).  Our house is in back of the big house and there is a wooden fence separating our yard from the big house yard.  Her sister brings them food usually every day and is supposed to give them water.  We end up making sure their water tubs are full.  There are four dogs.  Ono is the only female and decided she loved us. She would lay on the steps of our house every day, walk with us to the front gate, then go back through the hole she dug to lay on our steps until she heard us coming.  She was so excited to see us when we got home.  That excitement spread to the other three dogs during the times they have been here.  They all jump up and try to jump on us as we come through the gate.  A little annoying but somehow cute. Since they are so much a part of our stay here we have their pictures.  Ono is the white dog with me and the others we have nicknamed Growler (white and dark brown), Brownie (obvious), and Fighter (White with light brown--he escaped all the time and came back this time injured).  They have gone back home now to aggravate their neighbors! :)


You can see our little house way down in the back.
