As I create this post, Ludwig Minkus' irresitible music for Don Quixote floats down the passage from the studio where the dancers are rehearsing for next season's performances of the dazzling Don Q at the Joburg Theatre from 8 to 24 March 2012. Images of the Don and Sancho on their horses are among the most familiar of all images inspired by literature but there are no horses among the first batch of SAMB pets pics we've received. Here they are.
Angela Malan with Febo and Mila. Febo doesn't look convinced. Perhaps the role of lapdog is a bit of against-type casting.
It's a dog's life: Lady gets a kiss from ballerina Shannon Glover.
Chase Bosch and his Bearded Dragon, Calypso, have a heart-to-heart chat.
Calypso smiles for the camera.
Lindé Wessels with her dogs. Lilly takes cover as Jack jétès.
Lindsay McDonald's Ypsilon when new.
And all grown up, Ypsi is still Lindsay's cup of tea.
Life's a beach: Ypsi, Apollo and Lindsay do Umhlanga.
Lauren Dixon-Seager and Mia.
Chloé Grové with cool, calm and collected Angel.
Having her photo taken makes Chloé's Kitri see yellow. The problem, we're told, is the photographer, Chloé's husband, Jody, with whom Kitri apparantly enjoys a hate-hate relationship. Part of the problem might be that Jody calls Kitri Lucy-Fur and other endearing names which cannot be repeated in polite society. This is one cat, Mr. De Mille, who will never be ready for her close-up.
