During last winter’s expedition Joe Henderson was surprised to discover that one of his team, Tikka, was pregnant, it was totally unexpected and a worrying prospect with temperatures hovering at -45c.
But all was to be well and Tikka gave birth to 2 pups, Pete and Lupine
and by the time I joined Joe 3 weeks later they were plump little butter balls not far off their first taste of real food.
First ever breakfast…
“Not sure about that”
Still not convinced
mother’s milk tastes best.
A few days later…
Joe does his best to persuade them it really is good food.
Success, shame about the table manners.
Happy family.
