Obama and McCain in Lindi, 3 weeks old

I got two dogs. Named Obama and McCain. Don't ask me how I came up with the names, I just thought it would be a good idea to name the dogs after presidential candidates! That is Obama on the left, lying down and McCain on the right sitting up. Obama and McCain are brother and sister, Obama is a boy and McCain a little girl. No pun intended! They are both 3 weeks old!

The puppies arrived two days ago from a friend at the hotel I had been staying at. When they arrived, they looked so weak and helpless they curled up next to eachother inside their dog house and just slept. They are so afraid of me!
They did get a good meal of Ugali and small fish yesterday (Ugali is a staple Tanzanian food that is sort of a stiff porridge). People here eat it every day together with beans or vegetables, or meat, however, I've had no desire to try it. However, Obama and McCain love ugali and fish. After they finished their meal yesterday, I let them out of the dog house and they started to explore the backyard a little bit.

McCain seems to have more of a "curious" personality. She is always searching around and looking at me wondering who the heck I am and what the heck she is doing in my backyard!
Obama seems to be more relaxed and confident. Again no pun intended! He is more playful and yesterday he was rolling around in the dirt, I was thinking of stopping him, afraid he would get so dirty and get flees, but I just let him be.

Both puppies slept most of the day today. It is a sikukuu (holiday) here in Lindi today. I didn't have my household helper Hadija today so I had to go to the hotel and request ugali for the dogs. I gave them their food but they didn't each much. After a couple of hours I decided to add the little fish that Hadija bought from the market and then the dogs gulped down their food. Seems like Obama and McCain are a bit finicky with their diet, hahaha:)

That's about it from here. Hopefully will put up more pictures of Obama and McCain next time!
Also I am hoping to get internet installed in my house this week so I'll be able to skype and have time to write more without paying the hefty internet cafe prices.
Hope everyone is well at home!
