Buddy our Dog



I have a new exercise partner. I four legged one. In America, Sabrina, our black lab mix would run with me out in the desert. I miss those days. But one day our dog Buddy (we have two dogs that we inherited when we moved to John's farm: Buddy a male and Topie a female) started running with me....then he even ran along with me on my bike ride. Now he waits at the front door for me every morning, anxiously wanting me to get going.

Dogs aren't well liked in Rwanda. Many of our neighbors are afraid of Buddy. This morning Buddy ran up on a pig. The poor pig didn't notice him until he was right in his grill! The pig let out with a squeal and high tailed it to his owners backyard. Buddy thought all of this was great entertainment and made sure the pig knew who was boss. I yelled at Buddy to stop..after all it was 5:45am and many people were still sleeping. Buddy wanted to chase the pig some more but I convinced him to stop. I think I need the dog whisperer's help!
