the typhoon has passed and no damage in our area.
But we have had troubles: a puppy disaster:
The young black dog went into labor under my bed, and I woke up when I heard her fighting with her (pregnant) mother, who had taken the puppy away from her and was licking it.
I moved the black dog into the hall closet, where she ended up having eight puppies... all small, which was not a good sign.
one tiny one died quickly, but the disaster was that on day two, the grandmother got in and killed four if the puppies. Sigh. And then over the next few days, two of the puppies died from weakness: stopped nursing and died. So we are left with one puppy.
In the meanwhile, Kuya is cleaning out the boxes from the side bedroom to use it again as a guest bedroom: my granddaughter is coming next week (school break) and can stay there instead of upstairs in the guest room there.
They will have to get an airconditioner and fix up the bathroom too.
In other news, lots of local folk are working at the solar panel project, meaning the men we usually use to fix things are not available. I am sceptical about the solar panels because they are placing it on good rice growing land, but for locals it is a job so they can stay home and not have to migrate to Manila or overseas to find a good paying job.
