Yes that is the name of a condiment, but it is also the name of my new dog. I know it's not the smartest thing to give a ccondiment name to a dog in Thailand, but it's ok, I've shortened it to Honey. So Honey is the name of my new puppy. Pastor Winai's brother and his family are being sent to America from the refugee camp, so we got their dogs.
The mom dog, who we've named "momma" and her puppy were given to us. Momma is beautiful and her puppy was adorable.
So I gave Honey a flea/tick bath and put a cute little pink collar on her. When all the children got home from school I called them into the worship hall for our normal meeting and cleaning time and I held Honey in my arms. I explained to the kids how we treat a pet. They usually kick the dogs, throw them, hit them, eat them, etc. So I had to explain that we love Honey and we don't eat her because she's our friend. It's been so cute watching them treat her nicely and the girls love to play with her. I think some of them think she's their baby. It's funny how big a difference a cute pink collar and a name can make :) Anyways, Honey Mustard is adorable and she's been a blast! The kids keep telling me when I go back to America they're going to eat her, but I tell them I'll be back and if she's been eaten they'll all be in trouble. So I'm hoping Honey Mustard doesn't become a topping for their rice :)

Cute little puppy. The different way people treat animals is interesting. We think of them as little playmates, and they think of them as little burgers. LOL
