  • A Brotherhood Among Dogs 3 years ago Our pack of thirteen dogs has its rules. Some of the rules they get from me, like "no growling in the house" but some of them come from the boss dogs.

  • Living in a Dog Pack in Egypt ... Transitions to Now 3 years ago   I started writing Living in Egypt in 2003 when I was still living in our family home in Maadi, a nice suburb of Cairo. I had a pack of dogs at the time but I don't know how organised they were. Since about 1998, I haven't really had less than almost a dozen dogs at a time, but a dog pack is...
  • Watching Peter Domesticate Himself 3 years ago  One of the things about Corona has been the fact that the focus of life has changed enormously for everyone. People I would never have expected to have baking skills have been turning out some astonishing loaves of sour dough. One family got an egg incubator and hatched a few duck and chicken...

I'm the author of this blog that ran from 2003 to 2011 with a few new posts recently. It is of historical interest at this point since it was written about a different Egypt than that which exists today. I was making a transition from being a wife and mother in Egypt to living my own life on a farm that I was building. Now, many years later I am working at https://maryannestroudgabbani.substack.com/ Still Living In Egypt. I don't know where that might go, but hopefully people might enjoy it.
