I've Been Tagged, which is much more fun than being "marked"! Ha Ha

The cutest Murphy I have ever seen tagged us with this fun question.


What are 6 things that make Africa happy?!
(What doesn't!?)


First: Her Lobster!



This $15.00 toy might of been worth the money because for 2 months now she has been trying to destroy it and hasn't quite succeeded. Nothing like watching a South African Boerboel carrying around a lobster everywhere she goes.

Second: Her crate!

Remember in the beginning when I whined about the long nights with this puppy hating to be locked up in her crate? Well now she goes in there all day with the door open. For such a big dog it doesn't seem that comfortable.

Third: Eating stuff (especially stuff that is off limits)

Africa is happy to eat baby toys and other things that are not hers to destroy, and I just discovered she is happy to hide them under the couch.

Fourth: Eating

It has been said that a Boerboel could eat themselves to death. Africa would be happy to eat and eat until she popped. She and I have that in common.

Fifth: Fetch

Happiness is a good game of fetch or keep away depending on who is playing with her.

The sixth thing that makes Africa really happy is just basking in the sunlight like she is doing right now.

Go ahead Africa. You deserve it. It has been on hot summer! Thank you September!

That was fun! Thank you Murphy!

  8. Thanks for playing, Africa! I absolutely loved your list!

    I loved my crate too, unfortunately I grew out of it too quickly. Mom tried to get the bigger one, but she's kind of a wimp and couldnt even carry it by herself so it went back to the store.

    Now I have something she calls an x-pen. Its kinda nice...with no roof, so I can see out of the top.

    Thanks again for playin!

  10. Thanks for tagging us.. we have just done it!! I love the red lobster!! Sadly, Hershey's toy don't stay around for very long under her 'tender loving care'. So far we have spent a small fortune on replacing her toys and the ones that outlast all the rest are the Kongs.

    Love the pic of Africa basking in the sun too.. watch the tan lines girl!

  17. Congrats on being tagged. Those are all great reasons for being happy. And thanks for tagging me. Good question, I do have 5 pets hmmmm lol. I'll take care of it next week :)

    Also wanted to tell you my sis is looking to get a big dog with short hair sometime in the next couple of years and I told her about Africa and we checked out your blog and your breeders website. She got very excited and is going to do more research to see if a boerboel is the right dog for her! Her favorite line in your blog "Africa needs her own country" lol

  18. Our momma buys us stuffies at garage sales so if we pull the guts out of them she can just toss them in the trash and give us another one! Maybe your momma could do that. You really shouldn't mess with the baby toys cuz the poor baby needs to play with something!

  19. Africa... I bet you have no choice but to sunbake out there.. I love this post and of course I'll play. Mom will get on it this weekend.

    By the way... I think I'd like that lobster too.

  20. Kasha if you think Czarina is cool, you should see my sister's greek tortoise Tommie (she is a girl too lol) she is about 1 inch longer and very outgoing, not afraid of anything lol.

    I'll let my sis know about your offer. She wants to get her life in order before adding a big dog lol. But I know she will have tons of questions (so will I since Im the anal one with it comes to pets lol)

  23. Hi Africa - you get cuter every time I see you! My human says she just LOVES the expression on your face. We share lots of the same "happy things" - well, except that my humans didn't use a crate so I don't know about that. But I would love a red lobster like yours! :-)
