200+ ft of fencing tacked up. I need to buy a 16ft cattle panel to act as gate. I also need new rubber boots since I've discovered the right has several pinholes.

Poor Hera's leg is bothering her with the damp rainy weather. Normally she will eel her way thru the flock without issues. This evening she was yelp-barking and showing teeth to make sheep give her a 2ft bubble. No contact and sheep weren't scared more of a "who pissed in your grain" vibe. She is still soliciting cuddles from me but not willing to take meds without struggle.

Mini size raw meatball? The "greenies" things made for pill taking used to work for the Maremma's I took care of when a neighbor went to Alaska for a couple months in the summer... expensive but they worked... Some dog's are tough for taking meds... I always made sure they got something to eat right after the "med" so they didn't taste it as much and kept swallowing it down...
I applaud you for taking on a "half grown" LGD.... hopefully the leg situation can get straightened out and healed... and he will fit into things there... It takes alot to try to help him unlearn some of the things he has been "imprinted" with up to now, and hopefully he will be able to learn from Hera as to his "duties"... Tough since she is still a "new member" of your house/flock too... I think you are doing great.

If there is a favorite food, hide her medicine in it. I had some homemade pimento cheese that I gladly used to give my crew worm pills. Maybe sausage or ground meat balls? First one plain, second one with medicine, third one plain.

Was it Hera that likes Hot Dogs?

I don't have any good ideas on the meds. Heck my dogs can ferret out even a single baby aspirin in 2T or more of liver sausage, or canned pumpkin, or, or, or..... yeah they're that bad - and the "flavored / chewable" meds that are so popular - forget it. Won't even sniff it. All meds here are open (pry open) mouth, place pill waaaaaay back, hold mouth shut, stroke throat until a swallow or two. But then - my dogs are max 65#-ish and of a different mindset than an LGD.
