January and Simba 2
Simba, Hooch, and Spot
We were all saddened when my German Shepherd died earlier this year while I was in the states. When I arrived at my compound last Thursday, I realized how eerily quiet the nights were and determined that we would have to find a new dog; however, quickly locating a suitable dog in Uganda is not always easy. Through both answered prayers and contacts, we were able to secure a new dog on Saturday. January and I drove to Kampala to meet Simba2, a five month old German Shepherd. We love him already and he is adjusting great; time will tell if he will prove to be a good guard dog. Our guard dogs are trained to work at night patrolling the compound with January and barking and alerting him to any suspicious sights or sounds. They are tremendous comfort to me as I live here alone.
Food and Water Shortage: We were informed by news text on Monday that the Prime Minister had issued a danger warning due to a prolonged dry season thereby causing a shortage of both food and water.
Pray for the current situation in Uganda regarding food shortage and extremely high prices.
