Reprise - The Dogs of Sanawari

If you have not done so, read 'The Dogs of Sanawari' on an earlier post.

Mo had asked if she could stay with us for the weekend because Jo was away on a working trip.
As previously stated the vols before us had issues about noise coming from the Makumira Secondary School and he had forced the Headmaster to be replaced and had moved out of the house to another on the other side of the road. Mo wanted quiet because she was studying to complete an assignment for a paper she was working on.
I assured her that it was quiet and anyway, the students were away because of the mid-term break.

This was the weekend that the Evangelists had their seminar and there was noise from them, but we were kept away by the Dogs of Makumira!
The local dogs used to form packs at night but normally there was no disturbance from them. This night though there was a bitch on heat and this brought dogs from all over the place and they even came into our compound!
Santo had dug a rubbish hole about two metres deep and one of the dogs fell in there and yelped and yelped. Mbise refused to go down in the dark to retrieve it and would not allow me - I had told him about the dogs in Sanawari. He did go down in daylight and it was Baba Joyce's guard dog - ha some guard!

Anyway not surprisingly Mo returned home early in the morning to complete her studies. And the next morning you could hear a pin drop - Murphy's law!
