In the previous Sheba post, Janetlgreen commented on Sheba growing.
We can only agree! Since regaining her appetite after a slight heat-adjustment, Sheba has grown incredibly much in lenght! We are now waiting for her height to catch up as well…
In the meantime, her facial expressions are developing, and as things are currently standing, […]
Last Saturday, we took out Arwen and her four week old filly Isolde for a morning walk.
Isolde was thrilled to be out, so thrilled that Anette and I (and Arwen!) had to keep a close watch at her, so she didn’t venture too far…
After the first five minutes into exploring territory, Isolde decided it was […]
“Is that what I think it is?”
“My very own bone!”
“Yummy!”
“Now, my human is always saying that good food and some sunshine is all you need for a quality moment, and I certainly agree!”
“Finally something REAL to chew on! Don’t understand what all the fuss is about when I venture inside the house to steal Esther […]
As most of you already know by now, Mirriah is one of my favourite places in Niger. It is an old village with an ancient heritage, rich in century old Baobab trees and known for its vegetable gardens. Situated 20km from Zinder, it is a place I love to go to for a Sunday excursion, […]
Although Sheba is a very independent Rhodesian Ridgeback with an amazing self-confidence, she thrives best in company, which is why both Anette and I are spending most of our spare time outdoors on the veranda.
Sheba makes time stand still, and I am finding a different life rhythm this year, which is turning out very well […]
On Friday morning, before going to work, Anette and I went over to my brother’s garden to look at some morning flowers that my mother would have liked. Being of a precious kind, they only bloom in the mornings and retire when the sun gets too strong.
I love life, when you stop to look at […]
Niger is a hot country, even for a little puppy with African heritage (coming straight from Sweden, and possessing baby fat like no other creature in the entire country).
Sheba however was not the dog to complain, but simply took matters into her own hand.
“This will fit me exactly! After all, if I could squeeze into […]
Finally, I got to meet Isolde yar’Arwen. She is one fabulous young lady! Although I’ve had to keep an eye on Sheba since arriving, there is lots of room in my heart for Isolde too! Photogchic was right, she does have her mother’s long legs. She also seems to have her father’s smaller (slightly Arabian-looking) […]
It’s been coming for quite some time, but we recently made the decision to let one of our pets go. Believe it or not, it wasn’t Dennis Mugu (the dog who killed the cat)!
No, it was Amadeus the Goat who had to go the other day. When we first got him, he was the […]
Just wanted to tell you that we arrived safe and sound in Zinder last night! After five hours of sleep (Sheba is a busy dog, and was thrilled so have Anette and I sleep on the veranda with her so she could try to jump on our mattresses!), I am slightly disoriented but almost as […]
I’m flying back to Niger today, after 6 weeks Sweden. As the journey takes about 36 hours, I won’t be blogging again until I’ve arrived safe and sound in Zinder. See you in a couple of days!
In just a few hours, if all goes well, nine and a half week old Ridgebow’s Radiant Reya of Navy, aka Sheba will be sitting on a plane at my feet heading for Africa! I don’t think she’ll mind the change of climate however, as she loves the heat and hates to be out in […]
I love Swedish countryside, especially during the “summer”. At least it doesn’t have to be warm as long as it looks like it for the view to be just fab!
During my brief stay in Sweden, I’m glad to have had the time to get to meet many of my dear friends (although I didn’t get […]

Sheba in a very relaxed pose
Deep sleep!
Sheba is a wonderful dog! If I ever thought highly of the Rhodesian Ridgeback as a breed, I am amazed by its character after being a first owner for less than 48 hours. She’s an independent soul who doesn’t want to be told what to do (but […]
