Living at work is a different experience. The students really have access to you 24 hours a day. Seven days a week. You never know who is going to be at your door and what they will want or need. Even though the students have learned for the most part I am not an early morning person - Especially on Saturdays - This last Saturday morning, there was a loud knock on my door. One of the students was "bushcutting" the lawn (They don't mow on Guam.... not sure why.) and he found a kitten. He wanted me to take care of it. Since I adopted the stray puppy, maybe he thought I was interested in starting my own animal house???? Anyway the kitten was adorable so I took it to meet my neighbors kids. (Ned took the picture.) Since I just didn't think I could handle another animal - especially one with fleas..... I drove it to the animal shelter - GAIN (Guam Aninmals in Need) where hopefully they will get rid of the fleas and find it a nice loving family. Stray animals are a HUGE problem on Guam, especially Dogs. Stray Dogs are referred to as "Boonie Dogs" and they roam the island looking very nasty and some of them being quite mean. Several of our staff members were bitten by Boonie dogs this year.

I was bitten once when a dog from a house near PIBC came out of the blue and wrapped his mouth around my leg. The skin wasn't broken but I had a bruise for weeks.
A small price pay...
