Hi and welcome to BYC We're so happy you've decided to join us

I too enjoyed your intro and photos

Welcome now tell us something about your dog. Lots of dog lovers on BYC.

The Shepard (his name is Jack London) is about 3 or 4 years old. We rescued him from a shelter - it seems lots of people passed him up because he appears fearful/anxious at first. But it turns out (my wife is a veterinarian) he was going blind from a degenerative condition. Also, he may have been abused (he’s more nervous around men at first). He’s a total sweetheart, though, and he really proved himself when our daughter came along (18 months ago). He has been a total nanny to her. When she has a poopy diaper, he gently nudges her butt - we assume he’s trying to communicate to her as if she’s his puppy, or maybe he wants mom and dad to get a clue and change that stinkiness!

A few more pics (of our land, and the dogs), since a few of you requested. And thank you all for such a warm welcome!

Hi! Welcome to BYC! You have some great plans underway for your new homestead! Thanks for sharing them with us. And feel free to ask any questions along the way. There are a lot of knowledgeable folks here to help out.

Nice looking family, ask these folks for advice on how to predator proof your coop. That way your feathered friends can stick around a little longer, otherwise it looks as though you have everything else figured out. Good luck and we hope to see more adventurous sorts like you living the way the rest of us can only dream about...
