Beautiful Basenjis

This is Gus and Ike, the dogs I’m petsitting this weekend while their owners are in London. They are Basenjis which is a breed that originates in Africa. They are so sweet and easy to care for, I really love being here with them. The thing I find most strange about them is that they never bark. They are actually known as the barkless breed. These two are so cuddly and sweet, I may just try to pack them in my bag and take them home with me! I’m also looking after a Tortoise named Daisy, I will get some photos of her tomorrow.

I guess my letter will come from the government sometime next week. I had my intake interview on Thursday and it went quite well. The people were really nice and I don’t think I did too bad trying to speak to them in Dutch. Apparently I am being put in the intensive classes and am already past level one. I’ll get a letter within the next week or two to go to Albeda College to sign the contract for my courses, and where/when I will begin. Then there’s no turning back!

I’ve been watching a lot of 24 since I got here. They have seasons 2 and 3 on DvD and they are so addictive. I end up sitting and watching like 6 episodes in a row. This show is so great.
