Greet and Groom: Video


The dogs had made their slip from Mark the last couple of days, so first thing when I got back was to take to the skies and try pick them up. Soon after take off this low cloud moved in almost cutting my visibility of mother earth. Thankfully it wasn’t a problem and I easily found a gap back to the airstrip.

In heaven
I was grounded for several hours waiting for the cloud to lift, which it eventually did and I picked up the dogs to the north west.
So it was an early start to find my friends but I was snookered when my car suddenly stopped. Yes, just like that! I pottered around the engine for half an hour without success. What I did discover was there was no spark, so off home I went a walking. I brought Mark back with me and we fiddled around for an hour when suddenly it started.

Handsome dude
We still don’t know what the problem was but I was off looking for the dogs. It was already midday when I found them resting to he west of Sosigi.
I made a point of spending lots of time with them as part of the habituation process. They are now beautifully chilled out with me in my vehicle, which is brilliant.

Curious
Some of the pack were looking well fed, probably having killed this morning and so it was, the pack were in no hurry to go hunting.
Dusk saw them disappearing into a thicket of ravines and bush. Then I heard the squealing. They must have killed in there but there was no access for me.

Team groom
I left them chewing down there as it was already dark and headed home only to come to a standstill in the Gananda crossing. Again I pottered around the engine for ages when the car suddenly started. I slammed the bonnet closed, which caused the car to cut out. All very weird. More pottering around and it started again. This time I only half closed the bonnet and made it home without another problem.
