do you remember the dog in my other blog entry? the one that chased the chicken in out compound?? okay, well it was the neighbors dog right? they didn't take very good care of him. i always went and played with him next door. about 3 weeks ago i got news that the man accidentally ran him over and broke both his back legs. they took him to the doctor. they paid like 900 ghana cedis (like 700 USD) for the dog, so i was glad to hear they took him to the dr. they stitched and wrapped his legs....okay, so on with it right? he didn't heal so well, his legs are a little wacky now....and their guard came over to tell me they were "getting rid of him" aahhhh i was so sad to hear this. and i knew it was going to happen. once they realized his legs were bad they wouldn't want him anymore....so what did i do? i straight went over and rang their bell and asked the man of the house if i could have him. haaaaa.....so guess what?! he lives at my house now. outside with daniel and abdul (our guards) they love him :) i wish i would have taken pictures before so you could see just how messed up he was. he practically had dreads, he looked like a rasta dog. he had never been bathed, or had a haircut. so mama tayler got out the scissors (dad, i know you are laughing) and i cut SO much of his hair off. then i removed his stitches (they never took him back to the dr and his stitches were disgusting) and then i bathed him two times. eeewwwww...he was so dirty! but now hes happy and getting fatter and clean and wonderful! all but his back legs....they might be a little jacked up, but at least he can walk!!!
"yovo" is what they call white people in benin
