If we could talk to the animals
After a month, we're getting to know the animals pretty well. There are 2 dogs, 5 cats, 15 rabbits, 3 cows and a turtle. Chobi is a dog that doesn't work. She just follows us around and gets upset when we speak English. She also has a boyfriend from the onsen (Japanese hot bath) down the road who comes around after 10pm. The calf in the photo is Lape. She lives with with her mother, Kanako, and grandmother, Luna. Kanako doesn't like eating day-old grass so we have to cut the grass every single day to feed them otherwise Kanako gets cranky. We thought Kuli, aged 19 years, was the oldest dog in the world. But the oldest dog was a 29 year old Australian blue heeler so that makes Kuli a youngster. The cats spoon each other and the rabbits have multiplied from 2 to 15. Now the girl rabbits are separated from the boy rabbits. Doctor Dean DoLittle moos to the cows and meows to the cats. The farm would not be the same without the animals. We can't wait to work with sea turtles in Guatemala and the poached animals in Ecuador.
