Fred

This weekend is a holiday in Kuwait and across the Middle East. For many that means getting together with family and celebrating the Eid Holiday. For many foreign teachers that means getting on a plane and traveling. Unfortunately, we are not able to travel this trip, but that does not mean that we don't have tons of great things planned.

One of our big plans for our holiday is not a single event, but rather what we like to call, "a gift that keeps on giving."  One of our friends here left for Bahrain today and asked us to watch his dog while he was gone.  So yes, for the next three days we get to be dog owners once again.

Our new friend, Fred, has quite the story. He is a stray desert dog who has had a rough life. About all we know is that he was found not too long ago with both of his back legs shattered after being hit by a truck. Since then he has had surgeries, been recovering, and living with our friend. Fred is an amazing guy and incredibly resilient. He now has a little hobble in his step (and some pins in his legs) but he is still super sweet and full of life. While nobody can ever replace Baker Mo for us, it has been fun to hang with Fred. **Note:  Fred is looking for his forever home and can be flown to the US or Canada if the right owner is found.**

Heidi and Fred just living that Kuwait dream.

Taking in that sun.

After living on the streets (and having a few major surgeries on his back legs), Fred is a big believer in relaxing and sitting down to eat his food.
