Shalini, Somu and the squirrel

Summer temperatures in Ahmedabad soar to 40 degrees Celsius, so Nicole's Shalini and Somu have been spending their days very sensibly resting under the fan. Most boisterous play takes place at night.


Somu has grown up beautiful and healthy. Shalini is as slim and light as ever.


Nicole writes that the dogs like constructing tunnels of various depths and lengths. Apart from the fun of digging, they probably like sitting in the cool damp earth.



One morning they waited for a long time at the bottom of a neem tree for a squirrel to come down.

















Nicole writes that she really almost expected to find them sitting in the tree soon...





Luckily their tree-climbing efforts failed, and the squirrel escaped unhurt by jumping to another tree!
