Makeshift bridge repair on Efate to keep the road open after Cyclone Pam

One island lost nearly every mango tree- their main source of income. Road to recovery is longer than you realize.

Back from Vanuatu, where I was able to desalinate water for rural villages still without a reliable water source.

A day in the sun. These little guys are almost ready to be weaned!

Puppy eyes are beginning to open! I'll be seeing baby blues by dinnertime.

Last night's 3am feeding.

[Carrie Espasandin @CEspasandin]

Other foster lost a pup last night, so big Rollo went to snuggle her remaining pup. I'll miss his piggy eating habits! He's in good hands.

Here are the brothers at their 3am feeding. Eyes are still closed! Approx 9 days old today.

Little sister nearly passed tonight. 3 hrs drop feeding pedialyte and she's a bit better.

My students are pulling out all the stops! I should give exams more often. 😊

[Carrie Espasandin @CEspasandin]

I've started waking up before the pups' midnight feeding. They're getting bigger but eyes are still shut.

[Carrie Espasandin @CEspasandin]

Little sister is fat and happy!

[Carrie Espasandin @CEspasandin]

Full service spa day for the babies! Shampoo, blow dry, nails clipped, and a meal. They're fat and happy and so thankfully healthy.

[Carrie Espasandin @CEspasandin]

Two feedings last night. Everyone seems to be doing well! Except me, I'm a bit sleep deprived.

[Carrie Espasandin @CEspasandin]

Pups are fed, washed, and put to bed. Hoping for fewer feedings tonight!

[Carrie Espasandin @CEspasandin]

Touch and go with little sister last night but everyone is feeding every 2 hours now. Eyes still buttoned shut!

[Carrie Espasandin @CEspasandin]

One midnight feeding later, all four of my foster pups made it through the night. Happy five-day birthday little guys.

[Carrie Espasandin @CEspasandin]

One of 9 pups left at the Shelter, only a few days old. Nothing replaces a momma's care but we'll try! Wish me luck.
