Hippie (HIGH PROVOCATION von Shinbashi) has settled in well and moves already around with the pack. She got used to the cold weather and enjoys the garden whenever she is outside. She loves any toy she is offered and she is a big cuddler. Photos of the past days are in Hippie's Photo Gallery / Hippie's Childhood.

First snow in our region today and Hippie (HIGH PROVOCATION von Shinbashi) got to know it in the front yard. That must have been a mighty climate shock for the tiny one ...... from about 40°C during the days in South Africa to temparatures at the freezing point. Against expectations she did not bother too much - protected in a waterproof suit - and she went for an expedition in the front yard.

Photos are now in Hippie's Photo Gallery / Hippie's Childhood

Hippie (HIGH PROVOCATION von Shinbashi) has arrived safe in Vienna today, although the plane from Johannesburg was over an hour late. Veterinary control in Switzerland and customs clearance in Vienna went well and at 12:30 p.m. I got the phone call from Animals First that I can come pick up the little lady. After a short feeding her bed was prepared on the passenger seat, harness and safty belt put an and off we went home. In the car she had a well deserved one hour sleep, at home it lasted some time till she came to rest. Food was accepted immediately and the night was calm. The first photos are in her Photo Album / Hippie's Childhood.

Today I was again surprised by Annerose: brand new photos of  Hippie (HIGH PROVOCATION von Shinbashi). As internet once again did not work at Anne's home she took pics off the deskscreen and sent them via messenger. Thanks a lot dear Anne, once again you gave pleasure to me. The new photos are now in Hippie's Photo Gallery / Hippie's Childhood.

Today in a week Hippie shall arrive in Vienna. Finally the time of waiting is nearly over. Then it is me who will provide Anne with photos so that she can continue watching her girl growing up.
