Marnus decided on Travis when he went to the dog pound. His reason being 'nobody else will take care of his eyes or spend money for medicine'. Travis has the typical albino type eye lid found in many white dogs. And yes, he had a few courses of radiation in 2008, costing us [and Marnus] quite a pocketful! Even if we keep him out of the sun and do his eyes with a cortisone daily, he still had black legions suggestive of cancer. This was confirmed by a professor in Jnb. who treats cancer in animals. Travis is fine now! Barks too much, very protective and will bite whoever comes too close to me. His barking is a huge problem and I keep him indoors during the day!! A big nuisance, most of the time. But he's the toughest of them all and never complains when injected, daily eye cream, etc.

Rebert & Tuffy [in better days]. Tuffy fell out the vehicle while we were moving to Knysna [Cape]! Luckily Rudy saw this, stopped and went to pick him up [between nowhere and nowhere!]. A stretch of desolated road, nobody would have found him if Rudy did not see him...... We cried non-stop, he was out cold and we rushed to the next town to find a vet. We could not see any blood, but Tuffy did not respond. Unbevlievably nothing could be found wrong with him - as you can see!! A few years later two rottweillers from our neighbour killed him in our premises. Rebert was in London and pined for a long, long time.
