Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!
We had a mountain lion here several months back which was the main reason for adding the LGD. We have a Rottie and she's been a great protector, but she needed a partner. She's so funny, she actually herds my chickens in when I need them locked up (we free range them)...anyway, Shimron, the LGD I mentioned, treed a bear about a week ago. A cub. I was really nervous because we couldn't see or hear mama anywhere. But they moved on back up the hill and we haven't seen them since. I know they are there, but they haven't come back to our property at least.
Babies....oh so adorable. Wish we could add another one, hubby is already maxed out, I tried to get him to let me get a llama or two...one animal at a time he said. We just added barn kittens two weeks ago to the menagerie, but they made sense since we have lots of mice. Goats are coming, so the llamas will have to wait.
Tuesday is finally the day! We are heading to Sedalia to get our goats! I can't wait! It has taken forever to get ready, well, the small barn isn't even finished yet, but my darling promises me it might not be finished(as in complete and fully "clothed" with the reclaimed wood siding, but it will be lockable and tight...
We lock everyone up at night, anyway. We figure that there isn't a need to purposely set the dog up for having to defend his animals and thus put his life at risk unless absolutely necessary. Locking up will help, we hope.
Busy Spring for all, sounds like. Hope everyone is enjoying the good weather and all is well. Scary fire not far from us, keeping all those effected in our thoughts and prayers.
I am near Canon City.
