My girl has been living freely with the sheep and horses for at least 2-3mo now. Totally solved her barking problem, she was bored out of her head. But she still tries to play with the sheep every few days, maybe more often than I'm seeing. The ram is the one she bothers, since he tbones her and she thinks it's play. I yell at her, throw condiment bottles or bones over the fence, but it doesn't keep her occupied for long. She seems to be napping more during the day or roaming about, so that's good. I have an electric collar, but unless we are out in the middle of the 5 acres, all my metal fencing will stop the signal and it doesn't work. Makes me want to put up more wood boards!
Sometimes I wish I would of gotten two, but then I would be spending sooooo much $$ on food, it would be maddening.
I just hope she doesn't bother the lambs when they come in March/April. If she does, I'll have to keep her locked up for sure, 2mo at least, or sit out there all day with the collar.
She was born 4/11/2012, so she's 10 months old now.
I'm out there a lot just running with her and wrestling her to burn up energy and to keep her busy. It's been either wet or freezing wind lately, so I haven't done so lately.
