Rat Hunt

There are certain night time sounds that are familiar in Uganda… music down the road at the CD rental store, crickets chirping, voices and even the occasional banging of a stick as Jeremiah, our night guard kills a snake.  Last week the dogs started barking and soon after Jeremiah called  for us to come and see what the dogs had killed.

It was a pretty big bush rat! Now these things are a lot larger than your common pet rat back home.  We knew they were around but this is the first one that has dared to enter the Newnham compound that we are aware of.  Thanks to Spinner and Hope he did not survive too long either.
