Another thrilling week

Howzit guys,
Hmmm, I see that our blog’s comment sections have been targeted by spammers. I’ll continue purging their ever-so-interesting comments whenever I can.
Not much happening on the dog front at the moment. I hope this doesn’t keep up, or I’ll be forced to regale (read as: bore) you with off-topic stories of previous experiences in Africa.
We have had a light smattering of rain over the past few days. This usually stops the dogs from ranging too far (they don’t like the wet grass) but it also obscures or erases their tracks. We were hoping they would use the roads more but, if they are, they aren’t the roads we’re looking on.
If only we saw these more often. No, not pens.
The scouts have just moved base, slightly ahead of schedule, to the ranch in the north and I plan to follow them as soon as my accommodation there is ready. We’ve managed to get our hands on a motorbike, which means we can search different areas simultaneously, greatly increasing our coverage.
We still need to decide the name for the new pack. I am using ‘Humani’, after the ranch they inhabit, but Reuben wants to be more specific and suggests ‘Gomo’, the ChiShona word for hill/mountain, as he says they prefer to frequent that habitat.
Therefore, I am opening up this decision to you guys. Whichever of these two names has the most votes by next Tuesday (25th March) will be the winner. Feel free to get your friends, relatives, lovers, parole officers, etc. to sign on and vote too.
Sarai zvakanaka,
Mike

Ha! my dog doesn’t like wet grass, either.
My parole officer and I like “Humani.”

My crazy dog loves the wet grass…Like I said She’s kind of crazy.
We have decided that we (the dog and I) like Humani too…

Ditto, my doggie Reggie hates wet grass but loves to go for a swim, go figure. I’m casting my vote for “Humani” also. Parole officer! How did you find out about that…just kidding!
