down the twelve days before Christmas and celebrate each day with pictures of the twelve most important things in our lives. Each one has a special part in our hearts and has its own story. The first day of Christmas belongs to our oldest pet, Asterix. We found Asterix walking down a dirt road in Arusha 6 years ago. He was no more than a few weeks old and his mother was no-where to be seen. We were worried that he would be driven over by a passing vehicle so I picked him up and we took him home with us. And so he became a member of our family.
We were still camping at the time, so Asterix used to sleep in our old 109 landrover, Mr C, in a plastic bowl. He was as good as gold.
When we picked him up he was covered in ticks, flees and mange so we were forced to bath him every other day. To this day he still does not like his monthly baths. Luckily, he loves to swim in the lake so now when it is time for us to bath the dogs, Chris and I change into our costumes and take the dogs down to the lake. Nowdays bath time is fun, fun, fun.
Asterix is one of the few dogs that we have met who actually SMILE. To know him is to love him. He has the most wonderful, laid back nature. If he was a human, he would have the most friends.
