ugh, it's snowing. well... flurrying, and it's the last thing I want to see. we're supposed to have more tomorrow and Wednesday has a 100% chance of accumulating snow. how much depends on the storms track... but they predict a minimum of 4".
MC, those pups sure are adorable...! they wouldn't really make LGD's, but perhaps, like Chester, they can be taught to ignore the chickens. their presence should deter other predators. How old is Sturgis? would rambunctious pups annoy him? Ruby is 8 and Chester is getting near 5, but he regressed big time when he got here and behaved like a pup... Ruby would get so annoyed with his bouncing... she started to bite his ears. she'd give him one good nip and he'd cry out and curl up all submissive... that lasted about 2 months, now all she has to do is move quickly in his direction and he settles down...he just wanted to play, but being about 2.5 times her size, she doesn't like roughhousing. for a hound, not known for their intelligence, he's pretty darn smart. when he wants to play with her, he rolls onto his back and lures her over with kissing, they play nicely now.
Chester is so well behaved, except for that nose of his... getting him in trouble. old BH used to call Ruby the "No-Nose Dog" so now... I have the No-Nose and Chester... the "No! No! No! Nose Dog"
you'll make it work out, good luck!
W4W, hooray for eggs! so nice that they are settling in quickly!
