FILHOTES

Two blog posts back to back because I couldn't not post about the most amazing that has happened to me so far, but I had to finish the last post first. Yesterday I "adopted" a street mom and her 8 puppies. I helped move them out of the hole they were living in into our handmade dog house where we think they will be much happier.
They are in a lot right next to the language school Eduardo (the president of ICYE Brazil) owns and he was the one who took me to see them. I sat down in the hole with them for about 45 minutes to make sure that the mom would be okay with us moving her puppies. Eduardo thinks they are about 2 weeks old now and they're so tiny that if they weren't so fidgety, I could probably pick three of them up with one hand!
We are going to try and find homes for them through Eduardo's connections at the language school and I just might be able to convince my host mom to let one of those homes be ours, at least for a little bit!!! Sometime soon we are going to take pictures of them individually and name them just for the fun of getting extremely attached in case something goes wrong... ha. We went back last night to feed the mom a healthy dinner of leftover beans and rice and to check on the pups, all is well!

Definitivamente, os filhotes mais fofos que eu já vi! (Definitely the cutest puppies I've ever seen)
