The Rhodesian Ridgeback - Tjika, 1989 - 2000 PAGE 3 OF 8

What a day!!! - I have my best friends to celebrate my 1 years birthday. I could wish every day was a day like this, playing with my friends and getting a lot of fine presents.

Forgotten is the day, when I was on a show together with nearly all Rhodesian Ridgebacks in Denmark.

They said I was very pretty (of course I am, every queen is beautiful) - but I wanted to go home, away from all these silly people, who wanted to see my teeth, why? - a queen has always fine white teeth.

Home to do the best things in life:

Run and run - did you know I could run with a speed of 43 kilometers (26.7 miles)?

To sit on the middle of a frozen sea is great, because even it is cold, I don't have to be wet - to be honest, I don't like water, you know I came from the south of Africa.
