Makimba Tess Mteremo CD
"Mzuri"

I am honoured, delighted, grateful and very surprised to announce that Mzuri is still going strong at the venerable age ( for a Ridgeback ) of 15.
You can see recent photos of her by clicking
here.

Her pedigree name ( Mteremo ) means comfort and cheerfulness, and she has certainly given me more than my fair share of both.

Here she is in April and May 2004, proving that the Ridgeback passions for food and sleep never fade. ( Click to enlarge )


There is no doubt, however, that Zu's greatest passion has always been for her son Harry.
Awake or asleep, she obviously considers it her life's work to look after him.

More 2004 photos of Zu can be seen here.

These photos were taken on her 14th birthday ( 27 Nov 2003 ), showing that she still enjoys...

Sitting in the sun
 

Dish-washing 


Climbing on the bed for a snooze

Shouting squeakily but enthusiastically at tradesmen
 

Although this dear girl sometimes acts like an old lady,
she can still mix it with the youngsters, and is comfortably in charge of all of us !
