Speaking about the journey at MoMo in Amsterdam...

Here my speech at MoMo (Mobile Monday) in Amsterdam recently. The first recorded talk about my project and journey in English! ;)

(Sorry for all the stuttering I do in the beginning, I hadn't prepared the talk in English so I quickly had to find the switch in my mind to turn to the language I yes, love dearly!)

Doggie update from Mar:

Tractor dog Biba has lovely puppies that are now growing up with Mar in Cape Town. She sends me emails about heir progress.
Three of them are still looking for a loving home! It's a difficult time in SA to find a puppyhome as the Holidayseason's starting and people plan holidays and getaways...

‘t Zwartje, must be one of the most intelligent dogs I have met and surely defies the opinion that dogs do not have the capacity to reason….last Saturday during a supervised exploration ‘lesson’ this ten week old pup fell into the swimming pool. Instead of panicking this agile pup gripped the edge of the pool with her front paws then expertly swung a hind leg up, over and ….out she was. An amazing feat.

The following day she actually returned to the pool. Lying on her tummy she stretched out a front paw and lightly patted the water. She then slowly dipped her paw into the water a few times, watching closely as it disappeared under the water. Satisfied with whatever conclusion she arrived at, she got up and walked off. What was that all about?

I was so proud of her……….so it really pains me to have to admit that only hours later this same brilliant pup had her head caught under the stove……………..

Pups..

Biba's puppies are 7 weeks old now. They're turning into beautiful loving little dogs.

Very soon they can go to their new families!

They've grown so big!
(Puppies held by the neighbourhood kids)

Biba's puppies are growing like cabbage! (as we say in Holland;)
They are at Margareth and Paul's place now and doing extremely well. All are on solid food since the day I left!

Very soon I'll contact the beautifull people that look forward to adopting them, so you can all meet up again. : )

Biba and me have landed safely in the Netherlands and started giving big talks straight away. I even had the privilege of meeting the queen this week! (mymy)
And a beautiful female speaker from Zambia, who's idea's I applaude big time!

(more news coming up)

Photo update Biba's pups...

First pup opening her eyes.
Love at first sight, and second, and more...

Seems I've found homes for all the puppies, but they'll stay together for a bit longer!
