Sometime between Monday night and Tuesday morning, our dogs which are more like security guards than pets somehow got into the pen where our goat was kept. They killed the goat but did not eat her. If it had not been for the female goat's growing belly and assumed pregnancy she probably would have been part our Easter dinner. Since she had not died of an illness and was found soon enough after death, she was butchered and her meat is currently in our freezer. It turns out she had not been pregnant at all, just started gaining weight as soon as she got here, which prolonged her life.

On Friday a sister took her beloved cat to the veterinarian. The cat was diagnosed with parasites and given medication and expected to heal fully. Apparently, there was quite a traffic jam on the way home from the vet and the cat was very scared and did not to well during the prolonged transport. Although the cats are normally left outside the sister took the ill feline to her room to care for him. He died that evening while we were praying or eating possibly of the combination of stress and parasites.
On a couple of occasions recently, I got a glimpse of a small zandolit(a lizard) who seems to have moved into my bedroom. When it sees me it hides behind my bureau. I have no intention of evicting the little creature since it will not hurt me and will hopefully help control the mosquito population.
On a happy note regarding animals, someone gave the orphanage a dog. This new dog is of a pet rather than a guard dog. It is gentle and playful and most of the children seem to enjoy their new friend. It was a pleasure to see some of the children joyfully playing with the puppy, while I was there on Saturday. The dog is named "Kado," which means gift.
