The two dogs that protect us from
the rats are called Saski (the light one) and Chico (the dark one). They spend the night hunting for rats, and
the rats here are quite large at least a foot of body plus another foot of
tail. In the middle of the night you can
hear them howling as a signal they killed a rat and the morning if you get up
before anyone has had a chance to clean it up you’ll find a large dead rat
laying on the ground. I’m told that some
people eat rat in Ghana, but I’m pretty sure the rats Saski and Chico kill go
in the garbage. The dogs also work as
guard dogs, most people in Ghana are very leery around dogs and try to avoid them.
What is the main carbohydrate staple? Have you come across any different fruits?
ReplyDeleteI am just seeing this post now and your description of those rats makes me think of the R.O.U.S.s from The Princess Bride! Ha!
