dogs...

they can make you feel safe, loved, annoyed, and sometimes downright terrified. here in zambia dogs are usually used as vicious guard dogs... and more than a few good people have been attacked/bitten by an overly territorial dog. call out, "imbwe!" and people are guaranteed to jump a little... sometimes even run away (which can also be kind of funny)

the point being... dogs here can be scary. backstory over

so yesterday we were picking up a vehicle at the mechanic's and i was standing outside for some fresh air and to talk to my friend, richard. suddenly kaytie grace, who was still inside the vehicle, called out,

"DOG-EEEE!!!! aunt leslie! it's a doggy! look out! it's comING!!!!!"

i turned to guard myself and saw it. i mean, this thing was fierce...

phew! thanks for the warning, kg! that was a close one
