I remember when Tonka fit in the palm of my hand -- with room left over! Only took a few hours for that to change though. In the first few days of their lives you can literally <i>watch</i> then grow! Happy Birthday Sheba! They grow fast don’t they? I remember when Tonka fit in the palm of my hand — with room left over!

Happy Birthday Sheba!

Men så er jo bildene dine av ypperste klasse også! Spesielt bildet av Sheba når ørene hennes "står" rett fremover. En kjempemorsom bildeserie. P.S. Håper du finner et åndfullt bilde som du liker veldig godt snart og som du har lyst til å sende meg. Jeg trenger litt oppløsning slik at jeg kan se øynene hennes godt. :) Gratulerer!

Sheba sends her love! :-) @Lori: Just was I was thinking when I was putting together the post. That third last picture is my favourite, and yes, red is one of her best colours! @Koala: I learned of this habit when I first heard about the breed and had it confirmed when calling around to some breeders to see if they would be willing to keep a ridgeless RR and allow us to take it to Africa. They were very reluctant about it. Thankfully, the trend has changed in Sweden at least, and today, many RR owners proudly present their ridgeless RRs with as much love as their ridgebacks. IMO, the ridge has nothing to do with psychology, and so those killing off their rigdeless dogs are wasting good dogs. Thankfully, Sheba's breeders don't, but keep all their healthy puppies. Sheba's beautiful aunt Zelma (whose owner also owns Sheba's sister Heika, a ridgeback) is in fact a ridgeless beauty, but before her owner told me, I hadn't even thought about it! @Renate: Lol! @Kate: Welcome! Nala's is a great hangout place, that's for sure! Looking forward to reading your blog too! @Pat: Aw... :-) @Lindsay: Nope, despite the lovely strawberry flavour, the rope bone is still intact! Her older one however is coming close to permanent retirement however. @Tired dog: Aw! @Jo: Angie is welcome any day! Aw, you guys are all too sweet! Sheba sends her love! :-)

Sheba is a beautiful dog and looks wonderful in those photos. We had one too as a family dog for some years. I admire your parents philanthropical vision and dedication, I will come back to read more about the work of EF. I found your blog from Nala’s.
