Themba the Protector

Themba (right) with a protective paw on Tia

Dear Zak,

The highest priority to once we got back from the UK was to go and pick up Themba and Tia from Rose van der Ruit’s boarding setup out in Ruwa. Rose was in South Africa at the time. We got there and they were both predictably excited to see us. Rose was not there but we got loaded up and got home as fast as I could safely drive with Themba on Marianne’s lap as he refused point blank to sit behind the seats.

When asked how they’d been Rose replied that they’d been fine but she had to be careful with Themba getting over-protective of Tia with other dogs around. It’s not something we’ve noticed too much of but he does have this rather cute habit of putting a paw on my arm – I think it’s more to get my attention than being protective though.

Love you

Nyanga

Taking in the view

Taking in the view

So what do you think of Nyanga?

Definitely some great views. Nice smells too. And nice things to eat like sheep skeletons and..

Yes, I get the picture. You were quite revolting at times. What did you think of the paragliding?

Oh that bit where you went off in the air? Don’t think I’d like to do it. But you had fun.

Yes I did. Would you like to go back there?

Only if I can find another sheep skull!
