Molly growing up! (Meramma, English Shepherd mix)

[tastyacres]

Molly just joined our family 2 days ago..... And she is just a perfect fit... Thanks to her responsible owner!

She is going to be trained as a farm dog.... Maybe animal guardian.... But she is mostly to team with our other dog.

Boaz has been our "farm" dog for the last 3 years.... He is ready for a partner to help him in life.

Boaz is still figuring out if he likes her or not.... He has dealt in the past with thinking he was being replaced, etc, but he has now started sharing food with her so that is a good sign.

She is will mature to about 110 pounds.... And right now she is 11 weeks old.

We have worked on kennel work.... And last night she slept there all night without to much whining..... She tried the "woe" is me thing... And I didn't give in and she is just fine now.

I will get you all some pics or her in a bit.

Today I introduced her to the chicken and turkeys....
I let her see them thru the fence but she really wanted to be in with them... So I decided why not!?!?!


She did awesomely.... She just laid down and let the chickens mess with her (I didn't let them hurt her).


I was expecting her to be wanting to play with them but instead, she gave me exactly what I was hoping for! Such a good girl!!!!


We also worked on coming when called (as she doesn't like the leash yet).


But the highlight of my day was when she put on her guard mode for her chickens she has only seen 2-times....


She saw a magpie (I know a little annoying bird) and she didn't like that it was near the coop... She saw it was messing with her Birds and man did she bark that thing off.... It may just have been a magpie but she did AWESOMEly!!!!!!


I'M IN LOVE WITH MY GIRL~!!!!
