With only eleven days left until departure (if you include this day…), Niger is never far from my mind.
Unsurprisingly, the thing I’ve missed the most this season has been Sheba, my lovely Rhodesian ridgeback girl from Sweden.
Being so used to having her around,
…it’s almost impossible to imagine that it’s just been a year and a [...]
Yesterday, I took a morning train to Copenhagen, to meet with two good friends - Signe & Marie - whom I haven’t met in a very long time. Twenty years pass so quickly, it’s almost unbelievable it’s been that long! It really doesn’t seem that long since we were children in Niger and going to [...]
Miss Uku and her bone
The puppies are seven weeks old today and have been growing more and more independent every day!

Playing is a favourite activity these days,
…and the puppies are busy working on the social order!

The world is full of beautiful skies. These images were sent in from Eden’s field station in Tanout earlier this week, where the research team is busy all season, researching what trees can grow in this arid area and how to best establish them without adding a drop of water or fertiliser. [...]
When it rains in Niger, it really pours, as if the sky makes up for a nine month long period of dryness.
Personally, I love the Nigerien rains, but the animals however are not quite as happy.
Seasonal rains constitute obligatory showers,
…and very efficient ones too!
That doesn’t stop certain members of the Sheba Seven to go looking [...]
The other day, during his stay with friends in Colorado, my father did something I’ve always wanted to do.
He went riding with cowboys!!!
And in a beautiful scenery too!
David and his wife Dawn, friends of friends, had cattle up in the mountains, and when hearing of my father taking up horseback riding in Niger after a [...]
More images from from the heart of Colorado coming soon!
Due to a past record of aggressive behavior, I don’t compliment our adopted Dennis Mugu (especially not after the Nefertiti Incident!) as often as our other pets. But in the light of fairness, I must give it to him to be a fabulous guard dog and a wonderful guinea fowl chaser (and he has improved [...]
My father is in Colorado visiting friends, who took him to see the impressive Black Ridge Canyons, which is part of the 500 km² (124,000 acre) large McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area.
He sent me some amazing pictures which I just had to share!
There are few things as beautiful as a serene expanse of the nature, [...]
Sheba’s puppies are six weeks old today!
I’m really looking forward to meet these little wonders, who will be nearly nine weeks old by the time I arrive!
Food and discovery are the main interests at this stage,
…which minced meat topping the meny. Lol, Miss Biyar’s tail in the middle says it all!
Who thought there would left-overs? [...]

“Hey Mom, what are you doing?”
“Can we play? I can be the attacker!!”
“Or would you rather just snuggle?”
“OK!”
