Been hard at it, but it has been great. Enthusiastic employees makes training easy. A weekend off and Linda and I made a turn at Rietvlei Dam and guess what? We got some photos and over heard a conversation.

Ah Mommy looking for what there is to eat……

  23. The news of a baby rhino at Rietvlei is indeed a reason to celebrate, when normally the only news we get about rhinos these days are either bad or worse… Great pictures Bulldog, maybe someone somewhere sees his cute little face and decides to quit believing that the little “bump” on his nose belongs anywhere else.

  30. I don’t think there’s a baby critter out there that isn’t cute and this little guy is adorable. Hope you’re not working too hard 🙂

    • They are so feisty even at this age … have a photo of this one trying to intimidate a full grow eland bull… lol… loving the work and should finish first contract next week then on to next… looks like there could be more lined up for September… but we need the money as Doctors short falls (insurance payout shortfalls) are pouring in, last few months have been a tad expensive with my health, but with the new apparatus for my sleep apnea, I’m like a man 20 years younger, feeling great…

        • Hi Mrs P. my machine is the Resmed S8 and I’m using a full mask… I thought it would be uncomfortable but I find it fine… the difference of getting between 6 and 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep and waking with 90 % blood oxygen levels compared to 3 to 4 hours of interrupted sleep and rising with a blood oxygen level of 53 % is such a pleasure I cannot describe it… Linda says I’ve even started singing when I rise, which wakes her but she is so happy to see me alive and keen to get at work etc, she says nothing…. My daughter says it fixes everything in me except my deafness… lol… I will never be able to give this up, it is like a drug to me….
