Legendary photos from the Hippo House
Categories: Family

In March 2000, a mere nine years ago, Benjamin came into our family, and then all the big kids got puppies in May. Eleanor is holding Sunshine. Henry is holding Dziwa Bzako (Nyungwe for “Mind your own business”) and Andrew in the red hat is holding Abigail.

Alas, Abigail disappeared soon after. But Dziwa lived for many years. Now Sunshine is the only one left and she lives a lonely existence out at the Croc farm. We’d like to have her nearer but she’s cranky and has a special fondness for biting children in school uniforms…

Sorry for this but I’m playing with photo galleries and discovered these pictures when looking for pictures of my Dad!

As for the story of the Hippo House, that will have to wait for another day.

    Brings back memories of our visit there. Doug, would it make you feel better if he said that Abigail was eaten by a hippo?

    Two hippos vs 3 dogs, 2 boys, and a girl. You’re getting there.
