Elephants and puppies

Kim and I have recently gotten ourselves a Jack Russel cross Fox Terrier puppy, she is extremly curios and also very naughty. Her name is Jaz and she is now 9 months old. we have a big yard for her to run around in and play, but as most dogs do, she has an overwhelming urge to explore and chase shit!(not that she has ever caught anything). Things like birds are squirrels are her best, but anything that she can get her teeth into will do!


As we live in Madikwe, the only thing that seperates us from the bush are 8 thin strand of electrified wire, and Jaz loves getting under them and going out to explore. One day Kim and I had come back from the lodge and saw that there was a large herd of elephants coming right past the front of our house, towards the lodge waterhole. Kim had quickly gone to grab her camera when Jaz raced outside. This was one of the first times she had ever seen such a big animal and we thought that she would make a break for the fence and go for the chase, instead she sat on the deck and watched as this big elephant walked by. It's always a worry for Kim and I as Jaz has a mind of her own and like I say, she digs to chase shit!
