The mystery of the reappearing toads

Mum is often puzzled to find baby toads in the kitchen. How did these little toads get into the house, she wonders. She’ll sweep them gently onto the dustpan and put them back in the garden.

The mystery was solved early this morning! She saw Rusty strutting into the kitchen with the prized catch in his mouth. He walked behind the refrigerator and dumped the traumatized little fella there.

Then he walked out into the garden again, in search of other creatures to terrorize. Well, we can’t blame him for he is a little hunter. He has attacked chickens, birds, lizards, chameleons, frogs, toads, beetles and snakes. The bigger toads emit a certain toxin in self-defence, leaving Rusty gagging and foaming. Yet, that hasn't deterred him from trying.

The Jack Russell Terrier is a perky, merry, devoted, and loving dog. Spirited and obedient, yet absolutely fearless. They have strong hunting instinct and should not be trusted with other small animals. They like to chase and explore. Jack Russells like to bark and dig. They tend to get restless and destructive if not kept fruitfully occupied and well exercised.
