A Puppy?????
Can’t believe this is a puppy!
The newest addition to our Animal Farm family, Sam, 8 month old Great Pyrenees, to live with and guard the sheep.
Lori and I went to Fidler Farm in Troy, Missouri July 16th to pick him up in my Toyota (truck) Van. When he layed down he almost went across the width of my van. We had the middle seats out and a blanket for him to lay on. Then we took him out to his pasture, with the rams. The next day he escaped from the pasture near the gate, trying to follow us! We didn’t find out until we went to check on him just after noon the next day. After a lot of running around, on the hottest day of the year so far, during the hottest part of the day, and meeting a couple more of the neighbors out there, we drove back to the property. We were sitting in the van cooling off, and he sort of just appeared in the tree line in front of us. Silly boy. We were able to lead him back in through the gate, and get him settled into his new home. He’s kind of shy. But he’s a teenager. They say he won’t be done growing until he’s 2 years old, and he’s already huge! But I’m sure, as soon as he acquaints himself with the sheep, he’ll be a great guard dog.
