Latest Addition: Jack

We promised the kids that we would get them a dog when we got to Africa, and we finally made good on our promise.  Ladies and gentlemen, please say hello to Jack the Dog.  (Note:  No offense to Granddaddy or to my nephew; we didn't pick the name!)  Jack's owner is moving to Swaziland, and so she need to find a new family for him.  With the addition of Jack, here's the tally of animals at the Page House:  1 House Dog, 3 Guard Dogs, 6 Turtles (of varying size), numerous geckos and lizards (all wild), and plenty of ants.  Our 3 guard dogs do not like Jack very much; I think they want to eat him for a snack.  Tomorrow I have to go buy some more wire for the dog pens; the guard dogs tried to climb the fence to "greet" Jack upon his arrival.  The guard dogs should be warned; Jack is a former street puppy, and the word is that he is pretty handy with a switchblade!  Enjoy the photos!
