Trish and Mike celebrate 50 years of togetherness

 What a wonderful, adventurous life they lived together. Very inspiring.

Jason passes away

Beloved Jason always greeted me, when I arrived in South Africa, with such love and excitement. He spent many a night on my bed, all snuggled up.  He loved his food with a hungry passion. He adored walking in the Greenbelt and around the block, trotting, sniffing and peeing on many a bush. He was a loyal member of the Boting clan, always watching other members of the family with loving curiosity. When he or we were truly excited, he barked with abandon in his distinctive high pitched tone.  He was a truly beautiful little being and we will all miss him terribly. 

 

How wondrous that you can see Jason in his paw print, done by Sam.
