That can't be right can it?

Hello everybody,

I need some help here, I'm not sure if Mummy and Daddy are telling stories or not.  Now according to Mummy and Daddy my ancestors came from Rhodesia, I know that much is true because I'm a Rhodesian Ridgeback, the clue is in the title really.  But, now here is where it all gets a bit unbelievable, in the olden days in Rhodesia, my ancestors were trained to hunt lions, well not so much hunt them as track them and then working in pairs or threes to keep the lion occupied until the hunter caught up and trapped or killed the lion.  Sounds like a good story, but Mummy and Daddy went to the Zoo a week or so ago and brought back some pictures of lions, the first one is a Daddy Lion and the second one is a Mummy lion.

Now you can see my problem, have you seen the size of those claws! even with big Boris who is a very big dogie I wouldn't want to try to keep one of these big cats busy until a hunter arrived.  The Daddy lion is laying down and is huge can you really believe that intelligent pretty dogies like me would want to be chasing big scary things like this, surely not!  I think Mummy and Daddy are pulling my paw but I'm just not sure, can anybody help, did my great grand parents really track these huge pussy cats and if they did is that why all the local little cats keep spitting and hissing at me.

Mummy and Daddy had a nice time at the zoo and saw lots of animals, they showed me lots of pictures when they got home some of the animals are really cute and some of them are really scary but the ones that looked like the most fun for me to play with were the Meerkats.  They seem to have lots of energy and I'm sure they would be good at hide and seek, it looks like this one is seeking.

Whilst these two are looking for places to hide, you see I don't want to hunt cats but I'd like to play with them and these look like much more my size of cat, aren't they sweet!

Finally I have one more question, does any one know what this is and why has it got two heads, its a very strange looking animal I've never seen anything with two heads before where do they live.  I've looked around all my favorite walks and I've not seen anything like this.  Can any one help me?

If anyone can help me with this you can email me at this site.

Look forward to hearing from you, lots of love Becka X
