Kharma, despite being a Rhodesian Ridgeback, is an Aussie. I got her from a breeder in Jo’burg shortly after Jenni died. She’d been imported from Australia but had not bred well and was being picked on by the rest of the pack so I was given her after she’d been spayed. It would have been cheaper to drive down to Jo’burg and pick her up but if you are prepared to fly a dog around the airlines know you will pay just about anything! She has been well worth the cost. She was very nervy at first but now she is my best friend and is a real character.

- On the rocks at Nyanga
-
- Kharma is not the athlete that Jenni was but she still enjoys a good run. Here she relaxes on a reservoir wall after a run.
-
- Yes, she sleeps on my bed.
