I forgot to mention the guardian and protector of all my animals - Buddy, my GP. Just realized, I must take him for granted and he is the biggest lover of them all. Has thwarted coyotes, diving hawks and many more predators. He sleeps with my goats - which he has always done since he was six weeks old. When he was eight weeks old a coyote was coming out of the woods straight for my goats. Buddy chased him up deeper into the woods, came walking down and herded the goats further away and then went back on the hill, facing where the coyote had disappeared and sat there watching for 45 minutes, and would look back to check on the goats. At night, he and the goats are in large fenced enclosure and I have Nite Guards blinking in all directions,even facing the sky, on that and the chicken house and tractors, so nothing gets near. It doesn't mean he doesn't bark sometimes the whole night hearing deer, owls, rabbits, foxes, skunks (besides smelling them) and what ever else happens to make noise in the night.
Thanks.
