Mel wasn't pleased with me this morning...i wouldn't let him into the goat area until I checked under the goat tables for two fluffy butt eggs...then when i came out, i had him sit...and showed him the eggs. ...then let him in through the gate. He went to where he had found the eggs under the table ,as i watched him.....he looked at me like :idunno...I showed him the eggs again and said ...no....and I walked away...he went out and sulked with the goats.....;)

Gee, I scrambled up the 6 Lana eggs I found on the plastic bags of alpaca fiber yesterday (all cold). Fed them to the chickens, apparently cats (at least ours) don't like eggs. Mel could have had some!

Today I found 2 Lana eggs, 1 warm, in the hay on the floor of the alpaca's "hay room" the roll was right up against the wall and the eggs were in as far as she could get. I only spotted them because I was pulling hay to feed the boys. I wonder where she will lay the next time. I have a feeling I won't be finding any Lana eggs once the snow is gone and things start to grow again.

Mel is getting extra comfortable at barking at everything.....his home in Texas had less traffic...it's not that we have alot of traffic......our traffic is farm equpment, logging trucks....he thinks he owns everything within his line of vision :p....so those "big green monsters that say john deer" on them ...well they just need to go, Mel says so, :rantand he tells them in very loud.... ear piercing.... heart stopping ...barking kinda way, ....
The boy will get used to the sounds...and in time the monsters won't seem as big :hide...good boy Mel :love

I believe he has found the one who has allowed him to be exactly what he is, a companion & LGD.
LGD's guard what they love and with who they are bonded with.
Maybe he still has memories of here... we have a logging route running through.
The dogs only bark if they slow down, the tractors too.

Oh my gosh...i wonder if the sound reminds him of being a young pup again..... they slow down at the corner.............awwww I just love that guy.
Thanks SBC :love...... he really minds well too ....when we come in from outside or go into the goat yard...I tell him to sit, while i enter first or open the door....when the feed shed is open, he knows he is not to go in (no more pee on the hay ) ...and he hasn't had the chance to eat a chicken egg again.....yet ,...lol. ..:thumbsup

Why do dogs chase cars?

Because it works for them.

The dog barks and chases and the car "goes away". The dog has successfully protected his person, home, yard, etc.

Trip and Paris LOVE to run the front fence chasing away all truck monsters.

We woke up around 3:30 am to Mel barking like crazy, could hear the wind start blowing and noise on the roof with rain...let the dogs inside...and a storm whipped through here like a wild child...i kept my head under the covers., but leon said the wind was about 45 mph and we had hail....and rain ,
Not having my hearing aid in made me feel safer (cuz i couldn't hear how loud it really was)
So anouther one of Mels assets. ..Mel the magnificent weather detection creature :thumbsup
