Trash Pit

We have a trash Pit near our house where... Oh everything ends up. Paper, plastic, and of course food.

Some days i am just too lazy too walk over and dump stuff in so I will just practice my throwing arm. One day i was peeling potatoes out back and i ran into a few bad ones, so like usual i geared up and threw the rotting potatoe at the pit. The potatoe sailed through the air and landed with a thump followed closely by a "yip!"

Very little goes to waste here, and indeed a dog was in our pit eating our trash. It jumped out and scampered away, but from then we have affectionately called it "trash pit".

Over the last week we have slowly encouraged the "trash pit" to eat closer to our house and eventually from our hands. We learned that it is a "she" and that she is addorable! We also sometime call her Yoda cause she just looks kinda like Yoda.

Mandy wants to let her in the house every time she see's its stuby little tail wagging, but there is no way. Trash Pit did not get her name by being a clean, well groomed dog.

In other news, i am feeling a LOT better! I took some anti-biotics and it seems to have done the trick. It is especially good because we were starting to get worried about it affecting our vcation plans to Uganda.

Hope you are all doing well!
