by Esther Garvi in Azawakh Ridgebacks!, Friends & family, Ishtar humour, RR as in Rhodesian Ridgeback

I found this image in the archives and it made me smile. According to a series of images taken by Inger during her and Staffan’s December stay, Anette was trying to cut the nails of Sheba’s eldest daughter Daya.

Baloo goes Ridgeback!

Posted in March 23rd, 2009
by Esther Garvi in Ishtar humour, RR as in Rhodesian Ridgeback
