Yesterday Ama and I walked to Julie's house for a visit - about a 5 minute walk. Ama doesn't quite get the whole leash thing yet, so she was bouncing around as we walked, grabbing the leash in her mouth and tugging a bit. We were quite the spectacle. Around here nobody walks their dogs. They walk goats with a collar and leash, to new owners houses, or the market, but not dogs. So I had one person exclaim "That's a DOG!" as we walked by. In English, which was surprising! There were a couple of teen-age boys following us, making barking noises, as teen-age boys will do. And the best was when someone went by on a motorbike with a camera taking pictures - he even turned around for another pass! Talk about role reversal - that's usually me taking picutres from the car window! I smiled and waved as Ama yanked on the leash. I am in the minority here in so many ways, but getting used to it. Ntakibazo. No worries.
There is a new post on Gorilladoctorsblog about Kuryama. I visited his group on New Year's Day.
