We waited for about half an hour

with Sunny-boy and his sis before Scruffy turned up with her mate. We had already suspected that this male could have been the father of Scott, Eliza, Jean-Paul and gang. He could also jolly well be the father of Scruffy's first litter which was never found.

Sunny's sis is just like their mom - staying out of reach. Coming just close to get some titbits we throw on the ground near us. Never letting anyone of us touch them.



Mommy and daughter, both out of reach.












We tried for nearly an hour to get Scruffy but she was crafty, standing just beyond our grasp. When she sensed that we were trying to get her, she stayed just that bit further from us. When it turned dark, it was not possible to get her anymore. We'll try again!

PERSEVERE. the going is tough but i'm sure one day we'll get them and bring them to (almost) guaranteed safety.
