Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and I promised that I would do an makala like this. I know that several of wewe have done this for your pets, past and present. This time, I'm doing one of my three dogs. Here it goes.
1. What are your pets' names? Their names are Roxy, River, and Roscoe.
2. What kind of pets are they and what breeds? Roxy is a Staffordshire ng'ombe terrier (a Pit ng'ombe breed). River is a Siberian Husky. Roscoe is a Gerberian Shepsky (German Shepherd/Siberian Husky mix).
3. How long have wewe had your pets? I've had Roxy since February 2009, so I've had her for ten whole years. I've had River since late May 2017, so it will be two years in May. I've had Roscoe since October, I think, so it's been four months.
4. How did wewe get your pets? Roxy had to go to a new home, because her owner was moving to a place that didn't allow dogs, so I adopted her. River was rescued from an abusive owner as a puppy. Roscoe's story is similar to Roxy's. The only difference is Roscoe's owner's apartment allowed dogs, but his owner didn't have time for him anymore.
5. How old are your pets? Roxy is ten and a half. She'll be eleven on August 7. River is one and ten months. She'll be two on April 6. Roscoe is almost ten months old. He'll be one on April 28.
6. What are some quirky things about your pets' personalities? Roxy likes lettuce. Most mbwa won't even touch it. River is a relatively quiet dog, even though Siberian Huskies are known for being vocal. She only howls when excited, and she'll occasionally "talk" to me. She never ever barks. Of course, Huskies aren't typically barkers. Roscoe plays dead to get out of doing things he'd rather not do, like going to the vet, but he cannot do it convincingly, because he never stays still. He also has a habit of opening one eye to see if anyone is buying it. Another quirk of Roscoe's is he loves to get in the bathtub au the shower. If you're taking a kuoga au a bath, wewe better keep the bathroom door closed, au Roscoe's coming in.
7. What does your relationship with your pets mean to you? Everything, enough said.
8. What are some of your inayopendelewa past times with your pets? I upendo walking and hiking with my dogs. I also enjoy chilling in the backyard with them.
9. What nicknames do wewe call your pets? I tend to call Roxy "Roxy Loxy". I can't help it. I sometimes call her "Miss Alpha", because she's the alpha of the dogs. I often call River "Little Girl", even though she's not so little anymore. She's actually big in comparison to Roxy, but I've had that nickname for River since she was a puppy. I also call her "Little Sweetheart" and "Rivs". I sometimes tend to call Roscoe "Roscoe Bosco". Most of the time, I call him "Big Goof".
There wewe have it. I hope wewe can take pleasure in learning about my dogs. If wewe didn't enjoy it, please be respectful. If wewe can't do that, then, as my dear friend Paul would say, piss off!
Peace and love,
-Antonia

When Jane's birthday arrived, she got everything she had hoped to get. Her inayopendelewa gift was a guitar. Her father said, "I know wewe always wanted one. I could tell it when you'd play the guitars in muziki stores." She said, "It's so amazing! Thank you!" After playing on her guitar, gitaa for a while, Jane alisema to herself, "I enjoyed playing the guitars at muziki stores. It's great that I finally have one of my own." Just then, her mother said, "We have one zaidi present for you." Jane said, "Really?! What is it?!" Just then, a Siberian Husky puppy ran up to her. Jane said, "Wow! I always wanted a Husky!" Her mother said, "We saw her at the shelter, and we knew she'd be a perfect fit for you. Her name is Shiloh." Jane said, "Like the first Husky they had on Gone to the Snow Dogs!" Of course, Jane's puppy, Shiloh, had a different kanzu, koti color, red and white. As she went to kitanda that night, Jane was confident about starting at her new school the inayofuata day.

Paul's Special Friend
I first met Erin through Allie. From the sad look in her eyes, I knew that Erin needed a friend. As we got to know each other, she opened up about losing her best friend, Barry. She said, "My poor excuse of a grandfather shot Barry. I offered to get help for him, but he wouldn't let me leave him. I guess he didn't want to die alone." I hugged her and said, "I'm sorry. I know what pain you're going through. I Lost my best friend, too. For the longest time, I blamed myself, because Alice and I were playing in the river. It was my insistence. I miss her sometimes, but I'm okay." Erin and I became really close as time passed. She was even passionate about muziki like I was. There was once when we got into a big argument, but our friendship was stronger, and we've remained best Marafiki ever since. One day, when we were in high school, we put our heads together, and we decided to start a band. Of course, the challenge was finding other members.

It was summer, and I was back at nyumbani helping my parents with the farm. The summer was really fun, and I really enjoyed it. Hillel and I kept in touch throughout the summer. One day, when we talked over the phone, I said, "My parents alisema it was okay with them. I wanted to ask wewe if wewe would like to share an apartment with me this year. I don't want to go through another bad roommate experience." He said, "I'd upendo to! I'll go ask my parents if it's okay." There was silence for a long time. After a long time of silence, I heard Hillel's voice again. He said, "I'm back. They alisema that since it was okay with your parents, it was okay with them." I said, "That's great." Toward the end of the summer, we moved into our apartment. I was glad that I didn't have to put up with a roommate listening to rap muziki and refusing to turn it down. I later learned that Hillel was a very valuable roommate. I never knew that one day, he would end up saving my life.
