He´s dark and furry, with almost-purple eyes. He sucks on my toes and wimpers when he wants lovin´. I showed up at the bus terminal the other day to head back to my community from the city, and my neighbor was there, unexpectadly. She put a cardboard box in my arms containing a one-month-old puppy. He´s all grey with little white paws and neck, and way too small to be away from his mama. So I´m taking over the position, and it´s exhausting being a new mom with no maternal leave. I´ve never even had a dog before. His name is Shambo Sununu, shambo being Hindi for Lord Shiva or ¨plenty,¨ and sununu meaning ¨thunder¨ in Guarani.
(Don´t worry, Bobo, my neighbor plans to take him when I´m done here.)
