Ha! Been there and am currently in the getting up in the middle of the night stage. In spite of the tiredness, and the stress that pups can bring, you brought a lot of humor to this piece.
If I may say so myself, the little hound is quite unique.
Still early days, as soon as is possible, photos will be taken, cute as can be - let the image speak in time for what words cannot paint.
Got woken up to a call "come and see the meerkats in the springboks' enclosure."
There they were, twenty plus, on their way to new worlds.
Meerkats are the Gypsies of the wild, never settling in an area, always moving from area to area.
The driving force is food, as they are mainly insect-eaters, they deplete the area fairly quickly of any edible items.
Digging, digging, morning to a full tummy, so the cycle goes.
The springbok camp (enclosure) is on the west side, (see 11 February), not the same as where the sheep slept and caused the pipe issue.
The two camps are next to each other, the house is surrounded by 'camps', the north is the veggie patch, east is the flower garden and the garage area, south - two smaller camps alternate as dog walks; then the geese/other animals start.
The camps are added security measures, security being a basic requirement as the criminal element is escalating.
All over the world, security is in high demand.
Different reasons, or the same reason - mankind is going mad!
