They are Basenjis which is a breed that originates in Africa.  They are so sweet and easy to care for, I really love being here with them.  The thing I find most strange  about them is that they never bark. They are actually known as the barkless breed.  These two are so cuddly and sweet, I may just try to pack them in my bag and take them home with me!  I&#8217;m also looking after a Tortoise named Daisy, I will get some photos of her tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>I guess my letter will come from the government sometime next week.  I had my intake interview on Thursday and it went quite well. The people were really nice and I don&#8217;t think I did too bad trying to speak to them in Dutch.  Apparently I am being put in the intensive classes and am already past level one.  I&#8217;ll get a letter within the next week or two to go to Albeda College to sign the contract for my courses, and where\/when I will begin.  Then there&#8217;s no turning back!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been watching a lot of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvtome.com\/24\/\" target=\"blank\">24<\/a> since I got here. They have seasons 2 and 3 on DvD and they are so addictive. I end up sitting and watching like 6 episodes in a row. This show is so great.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is Gus and Ike, the dogs I&#8217;m petsitting this weekend while their owners are in London.
