Guess he is trying to decide who is the aggressor and protect the other....or referee....

I'm probably over thinking on my part but he rarely walks right at them like that. He usually will go around them unless he is alerting to something.

Maybe he has a sense of fair play and considers one of them the aggressor. It's kinda cool that he does that. What amazing dogs. I never want to be without a LGD.

He likes a calm herd, just saying "break it up you two".

Or not

These LGDs are very smart. and they have good minds and can think for themselves.

Between the weather and my shoulder there isn't much for our journal. My shoulder felt well enough today to finish up the short run of fence I started a couple of weeks ago and hopefully I can finish the last 100' this week while the weather is nice. Teresa and I just realized that we had not updated Wills and POA since we moved to Tennessee and the state has this thing that if something happens to you and you don't have a Will, they have one for you. The surviving spouse get half of everything and the children get the other half. Since that doesn't work for us we see a lawyer tomorrow.

I am setting up an appointment for my shoulder since it I am tired of using my left hand for everything.

The Akbash pup is getting huge and I am learning to really love this breed. I am not an experienced LGD handler and would not recommend anyone that can't read dog body language to get one of these dogs but I am super glad that we got him. He keeps you on your toes to avoid resource guarding (me) but he loves to please. I'll be sending a PM to @Southern by choice on some more tips on handling that.

Sure hope the shoulder eases up for ya and there isn't any lasting injury to it. I encourage all to get a Will and tend to those matters before ya stick others in the situation that I'm in....it isn't any fun at all.
I'm sure glad that Thor has turned out so well for ya and Maisy settled into being a great one also....

Get that shoulder taken care of, pain isn't any fun at all and it keeps you from doing the things you want to do. Texas has that same law, it didn't work for us either. We updated our wills when we moved here, things had changed. Nobody gets out of this world alive. We came into it with nothing, we leave with nothing, but what we leave behind can spark a fight like no other.

You know it really is something to think about.

We are in many of our clients wills. The LGD's come to us, where they will remain. The goats are to come to us so that we can take time and find appropriate homes. We are blessed to have great clients that care enough to remember their animals and that they trust us to care for their goats and place them.

We are making provisions for all of our animals. You tend to overlook their welfare when you think things can go on with no interruption.
