2017 : a year in Duhok

She is already good in French, as I talk to her only in that language. She is the best among all the students of the school !

Will you be able to take Pirouette to France next time you go on holiday?

[Piling]

Oh no, cats hate to be moved from their own place and I imagine the nightmare if I have to travel with her by plane. She will be terrified. It would be only in absolute necessity.

If I go for holidays, the best way is to buy a huge bag of dried food, and let it in the house with liters of water. Enough for 1 month. She can go out and inside the house by a narrow window which I let open all the time in the kitchen.

She will bring her one-eyed boyfriend in and make more babies

I am sure that her dear ugly Dark Vador (as I call him) will be invited. As a teen girl who let come her BF in the house when parents are away

How is life in sunny Duhok?

Do you meet many Yazidis?

[Piling]

I might meet a lot of them, for a woman is looking for a French teacher, in the aim to organize French courses for Yezidi orphans in Sharia Camp (ironic to place Yezidi refugees in an place call Sharia, lol). But I don't know much about the project and I have to meet her in June.

It would be good if you could share some of their stories on this forum

So few people know or care what is happening to the Yazidis

This morning, Pirouette was playing in the garden with a viper. Indeed, cats can be such morons, sometimes.

Now I just have to wait all the day to see if she was bitten or not.

I am sure Pirouette will be alright

I had no idea you have poisonous snakes in your garden

[Piling]

it was this viper, probably :

Here you have the picture and the video of the poor snake I killed

If it was not for preventing Pirouette to be bitten I would have never killed it. Some vipers are endangered species.

Pirouette is alright, of course.

And since this afternoon, a Kurdish puppy begins to come in the garden. He is friendly and curious but shy.I wonder if he has a house of if he is a stray dog (there are many in Duhok).

I am glad Pirouette is alright

But you could have been bitten rescuing her

First a cat, then a pigeon followed by a chicken and now you have a puppy

Your home is turning into a zoo

I hope, one day, to cuddle and cherish a Kurdish donkey. I LOVE donkeys
