She's all grown up

Some of you will remember the pictures of our adorable puppy, Libby...whom we gave away not long after I arrived. We were doing a terrible job of training her and playing with her. Our friend James really wanted a dog, both for himself, and for his five year-old son. Since James has a house with a big yard...we couldn't say no.

James is Liberian, and even though he earns what's considered a good salary here (probably about $250/ month), it's still much, much less than what most expats here earn in a day.

So we were a little embarrassed when, about two months ago, we brought him Libby's huge bag of toys, a sheet, biscuits...and her own shampoo.

At any rate, they've taken great care of her, as you can see from this short film we took last week:



James is the man holding the DVD player, and the little boy is his son, John.
