Poor Sheba! These past two weeks have seen more mishaps that I would have expected in a year! It’s not always easy being a bold 4 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback in Africa with less immunity that most of her fellow creatures…
It all began one Friday evening after dark, when Sheba was still out playing with […]
Sheba loves company, and when Anette and I don’t have the means of giving her our full attention (such as when we go to work eight hours per day), we lend her over to her dog friends at the Eden office. “The more dogs, the merrier!” is Sheba’s life motto… Kinza the Polish German Shepherd […]
I have a beautiful dog. But if I wanted to be precise, I should say that a beautiful dog has me.
I am only beginning to realize just how much character there is in an RR and how much inner strength there she possesses, despite her young age. Whether she got it from her mother, her […]
It hasn’t gone the esthergarvi.com readers unnoticed that the little Rhodesian Ridgeback lady - originally from Sweden - is in love with Niger sand!
“You guys go ahead. Let me just enjoy this sand for a while.”
“Hey guys, I’m having one of those Quality Moments! Wanna join??”
The good thing about Sheba however is that she doesn’t […]
One little lady has been growing quite a lot lately - the trend so far is an additional kg every week… When Sheba the RR could no longer squeeze into her first love of a water tub, she finally accepted the larger container we had bought for her (which she thoroughly ignored the first few […]

Here, a family of three (father, daughter and son) share a two-room outdoors apartment and enjoy life walking around the trees (as they would in the wild, prior to feeding), feeding three time a day, grooming in between, […]
I guess if I had lived in a metropolis somewhere in a developed country, I would have taken a Sunday walk in the park, in hope of enjoying some natural scenery. Here in Zinder, I am fortunate enough to have next-to immediate access to a never ending bush!
It only takes ten minutes to walk from […]
Siestas at Ishtar’s Ark are wonderful laid-back quality time moments…
Anette and I are fortunate to have such good-tempered lively animals that add so much joy and quality to our lives!
For the first few weeks after arriving in Zinder, I had to keep a careful eye on our somewhat optimistic Rhodesian Ridgeback pup, so that she […]
For five weeks, a little filly slept alone next to her gentle mother, but yesterday, something different happened!
… Isolde got company! It wasn’t for the whole night, but for a good half an hour in the evening as we were saying goodnight to all our pets.
The body language is crystal clear: “Hey you! Don’t drop […]
