The past week has been boring until Saturday. I woke up and got ready for the town’s holiday. Then we went to church for an amazing sermon, it consisted or recorder playing and a powerful speech in Hungarian. Then we went to lunch which was huge just like always, and mom got drunk off of polinka. I’ve never seen my mother drunk. It started raining and then I and my sister went to the football game and mom agreed to meet us there after she got her raincoat. When mom returned she had a puppy that was brown and white and was not much older than 3 or 4 weeks old. It was cold and wet and about to die. We took it home and nursed it with some soy milk. After the baby dog went to sleep my mom and James where going to go to another party, but they came back about a minuet later with another dog that was black and white and some cows milk. Mom noticed that the dog’s skin was all crusty and she thought it was eggs. Mom and James went to the party and I went to sleep.
The next morning I found the other dog in the shed and asked mom about it. She said that the crusty eggs had hatched and they were worms. We fed the dogs and James, the kids and I went to a picnic with the rest of the village.
The picnic was very cool. They had a band and tons of people. At first it was really boring but then the kids and James were entertainment. James had way too much to drink and was ready to pass out. My sister was taken away by a bunch of girls that were probably about 12 or 13. My brother picked up a stick, pretended it was an instrument and joined the band, he also got to play a little bit of the French horn and clarinet. Then when we where getting ready to go some guy had to finish his bottle of home made whisky (seriously it was in a soda bottle) and he gave James a shot and James was drunk again, and he gave me about half a shot. It was the strongest stuff in the world. And so we went back home.
When we got home mom had given the black dog a bath. She said there was a layer of eggs 1 cm thick and all the way down the poor dogs back. She said that when she gave it a bath there where so many worms in the bathtub that she could not see the bottom.
Today we gave both dogs another bath (this time with warm water which the enjoyed) and mom is off to get the deworming medicine. Posted by Picasa
