Thank you for your patience to stay a little bit than usual at a sighting for building several story... like the Mole Snake preparing/rebuilding its hole/nest O\/

Mel - not Charlie, was on the Nossob side before KijKij. Wishing you GREAT sightings on your current trip 0/0

Flutts, RP, and Pumbaa - as always, your selfless time taken to appreciate others is duly noted 0/0

Sis - eloquent words of praise from an equally eloquent lady 0/0

Klipspringer - SO happy you're an insect-lover-nerd O/\ O/\ 0/0

nan - :-( so sorry to read of your health problems -(I even went on-line a week ago to research a product, Inogen One, a portable oxygen system to see if it may be helpful, but the cost was USA $2000+) Any possibilities in that area?

I appreciate your time and much effort in replying to my TT, and take every word to heart. 0/0

:ty: :ty: :ty: all.

We probably won't see Charlie again… Eric says he saw a Cape fox in very poor condition, so he reckons Charlie passed away.
On a positive note though: someone inherited her space at Uri. We had a Cape fox around most nights, so we just called her
Charlie Fox the Second lol

:yes: it's different \O

Is it the offspring that has taken the place of CF the 1st or is it unknown?
