I'm really looking forward to integrating Sheba with Dennis and the other animals, as well as getting to know Isolde! Not to talk about how much I long for one of Anette & and my fabulous rides in the bush!! @Lori: Apart from Dennis, who was Aslan's older half-brother, the other dogs are stationed at either of the two Eden offices. Aslan was there too, but that wasn't a problem, as I saw him daily. At our place, Ishtar's Ark that is, there is currently one dog (Dennis Mugu), two goats in a goat pen and two grown mares with one filly born and one yet to come (January). Adding Sheba to that, that's about all we can house in our fairly small garden! Luckily, neither Anette or I are in need of much personal space, and don't mind sharing! As for the flight, we plan on having her with us on board. I hope to be able to have her on my lap once we're up in the air. She's got her own carrier bag that's she getting used to, which makes me look like Paris Hilton-wannabee, only my dog is an RR and not a Chihuahua! :-D @Victoria: Thanks! I love her eyes, they're so expressive! I've only had her for a day now but am so thankful for the choice of dog, as RR is so full of personality! When she plays, she looks like a miniature lion, wanting to "paw" everything and everyone (her paws are pretty huge too!). @Pat: Thanks! She's snoring by my side as we speak, dreaming dreams of hunting in the African bush, I am sure. I'm glad you got to have Pascal for such a long time. A dog well taken care of will grow to be such a family member, and you want to enjoy them for as long as you can! Aslan's mother was almost 14 when she passed and I was so grateful for such a long time we could spend together! Both Aslan and his father went way before their time, but not for the same reason (Aslan's father was poisoned at the age of 3, just before the puppies were born). Any plans of getting a new dog? @Janet: Thanks!!

I'm sure she will fit right in with your other friends (animals). RR sounds like the perfect dog for Nigerien life. I share your sorrow about the passing of Aslan. We had a dog, Pascal, who lived almost 14 years. I cried for 3 days after she died. She'd been with us through so many phases of Jerry's and my life together. Sheba is so-o adorable.

It is not easy. I had to put my big dog down in July...Josh. He had cancer and was deteriorating quickly and it was the only humane thing to do. Animals are a very big part of my life...they add so much. I'm glad you were able to find such a beautiful RR...it seems that it was meant to be. Lori Esther…I did not comment on the dog you lost.

A very beautiful breed. I can see that you have a deep love for your animals..they are lucky to have you. So, you already have other dogs? and 3 horses? When you fly, can the puppy be right with you? Can you take her out of her crate while you are flying...and hold her? Lori Esther…Love Sheba Love the Mother Love the Father. A very beautiful breed.
