No Tahitian home would be complete without at least one guard dog. So we found ourselves an almost stray puppy, which is not a very hard thing to do here. He was thin and flea-ridden, but still very cute. We've called him Maroro which means flying-fish in Rurutu (it's marara in Tahitian). The girls next door think it's a very good name, because he is very excitable and flighty.
What he likes.....
Dead geckos
Soapy water (with bleach is best)
Rotting land crabs
Chewing people's toes
Chewing my flip-flops (grrrr!)
Worrying coconut husks
What he doesn't like...
Eating bees
Fleas
Being flea-sprayed
Being washed when he smells of rotting land crab
Taro (what kind of Tahitian dog is this?)
Jury's still out
Cockroaches
Pineapple
Worming medicine
