Playing with Litter: Published on 17 May 2007


We have 11 dogs! Can you believe??

My house mate brought two puppies when no body was taking care of them near our office. He fed them and took care of them well till they grew up. But the interesting thing is that both are females. We named them 'Imelda' and 'Gloria'.

After they grew up, they started having babies. One had 5 babies and another had 4 babies. They have grown up now, and making lots of noise in our yard. Couple of times, when it rains heavily, we had to wake up in the night and move them to a safer place. My house mate finally made a permanent wooden home for them.

Also, the puppies now started playing with us, its quite exciting... but boy, is hard to manage 9 puppies. Some body wanted 2 puppies today, and we gladly offered them free!! Before going off, we wanted to have picture with all the puppies, but they are running off and jumping here and there. It became quite difficult to get all of them at one place. We had several shots, and the maximum we could gather was 8, with its mother!!

I personally don't like pets and we never had pets in our home. So, I don't have an idea what breed our dogs are!! It looks just like a country dog.

In this area, Acehnese do not like dogs. They say its due to Islamic tradition of dogs and pigs being unclean. So, our security guards always complain about our dog farm. Interestingly, in our neighboring province Medan, its hard to find dogs. Because dog meat is in great demand there! Medan is full of Chinese and Bataknese tribe, who eat dog meat.
