Our sense of loss over the departure of kitty has been somewhat lessened thanks to the neighbor Semoko’s puppy. The two of them paid us a visit a few days ago and now the puppy has taken it upon herself to visit us on her own a couple of times since then. We’re not sure what breed she is. Actually she pretty much looks like all the other dogs on the island – call her a generic Fijian mutt. Semoko told us the dog’s name but we either couldn’t pronounce it or couldn’t remember it but Deborah thought it sounded a bit like “Bono” so that is what we’re calling her for now. I’ve included a couple of photos of her below, along with some sunset pictures taken during our evening walks along the road into town. We’re doing those more often, sometimes all the way down into town, sometimes not quite as far. It’s a steep climb but it’s more manageable late in the day when the sun isn’t beating down on us. Deborah always takes her trademark walking sticks and I’m sure the neighbors are getting used to the sight of the strange white people walking by.
