My dog named "elephant"

This is my German Shepherd, Enjojo, which I got as a puppy in Kampala, the capital city. I first called him "Jojo" after a friend's dog and in memory of a great dog I had in the past. However, when people here heard that name everyone heard "Enjojo" which means "elephant" in Runyoro, the local language. He is much bigger than most of the local dogs, so it fits and the name has stuck.

Recently Enjojo became very ill. Soon, I tried to call my vet but couldn't reach him. Here the cell phone networks go out, plus often people don't have electrical power to charge their phones so these types of problems happen a lot. But Enjojo was very sick with bloody diarrhea and not eating, so I had to do something. Even though the symptoms didn't exactly fit, my mind kept coming back to a disease I haven't seen very often call Ehrliciosis, a blood parasite. I looked it up in a veterinary book and found the treatment was the same medicine I take as malaria prevention, an antibiotic called doxycyline. So I started the dog on my medicine. The next day I was able to contact my vet by phone, but he was in Kampala (the capital city) and it was several more days until he could come and see my dog and he wouldn't give me any advice over the phone. When he did get out to see Enjojo, he confirmed the diagnosis and told me that it was a good thing I had started treatment or the dog would have already been dead. I think God was whispering in my ear what the disease was--I don't think it was my skill that diagnosed this one! Praise god for his care over us, and thank God I was wise enough to listen to that quiet little voice that kept on nagging at me. Now Enjojo is fully recovered, eating like a horse (or should that be like an elephant?), and putting back on the weight he lost during his sickness. Thanks be to God!
