Peggy

 She's having the time of her life, mostly.  It's tough on the days when we're driving most of the day.  Then it's no fun for a border collie in a Land Rover.  But once we've stopped, she has no end of interesting smells to follow and is quite bold in the campsites.  In Ai-Ais, we had baboons visiting sometimes and it took her a while to clock that they're dangerous.  But by the time we left, she was jumping in the car as soon as she smelt them on her turf.  Sensible girl.  At Little Sossus camp (http://www.littlesossus.com/), she made friends with Joepie, the resident Jack Russel and at Nauams camp, Nicky, the white Husky hunter, joined our camp for the night and was more of a match for her size.  It didn't take Peggy long to pick up a few hunting tricks and she's now after the mongooses (or is it mongeese?) and ground squirrels in the Windhoek campsite.  Nothing escapes the border collie stare, even the ants!  Of course, while hunting, she has to be careful not to get things in her eyes.  At Ai-Ais, one eye was swollen closed for a day having been punctured by something sharp.  She does look very funny in the picture of her and Bel as Bel strips the chicken – a fun job.
