Guard Dog!

Our dog, Simba (which means Lion in Kiswahili) died unexpectedly on Saturday. We are not sure why as he was only 2 years old or so. However, as we are due to leave our house here for several months this weekend, we needed to find a replacement guard dog fast. I sent an e-mail to all the women ex pats I know here and got several responses about dogs and puppies they were trying to find homes for. Amongst the replies was an e-mail for this lovely little lady.

Fierce she aint but she is VERY cute!! As yet she does not have a name... Suggestions welcome, just hit the comment button and we will let you know the winning suggestion!

  5. Fang! (Well, Jon won't let me have a chihuahua called Fang so you may as well use the name for that little cutie!) Kerenza thinks you should call her Rebecca. Pretty much everything is called Rebecca in her world!

  7. We called our (very soft Retriever) "Kali" - just so that we could put up the sign "Mbwa kali" (Fierce Dog for the non-Swahili bloggers)
    Hope to see you when you're back
