I wanted to just share a few thoughts about
DD.
DD was my team mate/occasional housemate
for over a year in the Bunia, D.R. Congo.
In addition Pete and I became the
involuntary, yet loving owners of her mother Grimice for some time as well.
What is the point I am making? Well I don’t have one yet but I am getting to
that.
I think what I want to say about DD is that
living in a pretty remote place working for an NGO like we all did – looking
after and playing with pets really become a way to take your mind of the busy
daily tasks, the long work hours and the occasional security issues. You give a
damn about these animals, perhaps understandably, would normally have a pretty
horrendous life in such a context (also thinking of our parrot Bob, snif, – yes
I had to slip him into this random collection of words!).
DD also needs Gabs and Kristie – I am so
happy she will make it ‘out of Africa ’ this
time and can be with them.
I think Grimice would be proud!
