Gone to the dogs...

Since Becky’s departure last week, the Uganda Halland household has once again gone to the dogs…

Bridger’s back to his place at the table, which he generously relinquished to his Auntie since she had traveled a long way to come and see him.

He enjoyed his Auntie’s visit but she just didn’t quite get the hierarchical order around here. She mistakenly seemed to think that she was near the top! To be quite frank, she could be down right bossy with him. He graciously put up with quite a bit of injustice because of her blood relations and the fact that, over the years, she has spent quite a bit of money on buying and sending him stuff. Then Ella came, which kind of quenched the flow of doggie gifts, but he doesn’t begrudge her that. Family’s family, whether they’re bossy and don’t give you as many gifts or not.

Sanyu has reestablished her place back on the couch…

…Bridger his chair (and book)

And, because they are exemplary dogs, they will even resort to sharing if the need arises

Ella told me the other day that Bridger couldn’t read to her because of the fact that he couldn’t talk. It didn’t seem to occur to her that he might not be able to read either – just that he couldn’t talk!

Sanyu was driving everyone (but Ella) bonkers yesterday. I tried sending her home with Sarah but it didn’t work. Maybe next time…
