My resolve is wavering.

And there is only a cat named Dulce to blame. She’s not mine, but I’m not sure that I can resist. I was going to hold fast to being a vol­un­teer with­out a pet, but what am I sup­posed to do? I’ve got all this space and it would be pretty great to have a cat to share it with. Luck­ily the non-profit where I teach Eng­lish to teens on Wednes­days shipped their lat­est batch of kit­tens off to live out­side the city last week. So, I didn’t come home with one today.

There might be some draw­backs to get­ting a pet as a Peace Corps vol­un­teer; how­ever, being native Span­ish speak­ers, local cats are per­fect house­mates for prac­tic­ing Span­ish. They are very non-judgemental, only tak­ing the occa­sional swipe  when you make a mistake.
