My dog is nothing like any of this. He is… playful and does the opposite of anything we tell him. (He is a yellow lab and has no sheep dogging in his blood) he also likes to play rough with our big sheep. Dumb a$$ move on his part. He is paying for it now. We have created a leg sling that holds frozen peas/carrots/beans on his legs because he needs hour on hour off life because his stupid decisions. He is not alone though. Our aunt and uncles dog just had surgery on his ACL so they are handicapped with our grandma watching jeopardy re-runs while we are in school.

I’m an Anatolian Shepherd and Great Pyrenees. No surprise, I had Great Pyrenees first, now Anatolians.
