Iraqi Puppies
















Iraq tends to have a dog problem in the sense that not many people here keep dogs as pets. They also don't spay or neuter them, so like America, there is an over population problem. The Iraqi firefighters on base here have been taking care of a female dog who recently had puppies. They are SUPER cute, but I'm really worried about whats going to happen once they start running around. Because of the problem they cause on the airfield, airfield management ends up shooting them if they are on the airfield. They don't really have a choice, but it's still super sad. I wish I could take them to a shelter or do something for them, but I dont think I can. PLUS it's against the rules as Americans to take in pets. You're not even supposed to feed them or pet them. So SSSSHHHHH. Still breaks my heart to think of what will happen to these little guys. Anyhow, in the meantime, we're bringing back extra fish and rice from the chowhall over to the Iraqi Firefighters. Who knows what they do with the food. :-D
