[Baymule]

And once again, Mel’s story has another Happy Beginning.

As a "witness" the transition was very "positive" and well "received" by All "parties"....I look forward to keeping up with Mel thru Mike or Teresa as his "territory" has continued to "expand" as new challenges are presented....new smells, animals, and the ground ain't sand....

No, not sand but I bet he has already dug a hole or three I'm sure Mel will enjoy living with sheep, they are kinda like goats - 4 legs and they eat grass and browse.

Thank you Mike and Teresa for continuing Mel's life as a well loved pet/coworker.

I think Mel has landed in a good place!

That big boy has already taken over our hearts. He is honestly acting as an LGD out there. In the short time he has been here, he has gotten to the point that he often alerts before Maisy. They back each other up also and I'm not sure why not, but the sheep aren't the least bit shy of Mel and haven't been since he arrived in the paddock. He is still with the lambs today but we are going to introduce him to the main flock tomorrow and see how he responds.

I've known a number of dogs, only a few GPs but Mel(low) is aptly named! Easy going dog if I ever saw one.

All I can do is at that post Mike......he is a amazing boy

Maisy showed today that she is pretty smart also. I have started feeding them at the door to the shop so I can stop any Maisy attitude when/if it starts. Of course, Maisy finished her food has before Mel did since she only gets a third of what Mel gets. Of course she knew Mel still had some food left and she already learned that if she got close enough to growl, he would leave the food. Well, she knows I'm watching her and also knows I won't let her get in Mel's space so her solution was to use her nose to push her empty food bowl in Mel's direction an inch or so at a time. I let her shove the bowl about half way and made her get back on her side.

what a character! I guess you know how lucky you are to have 2 such wonderful dogs.

I do appreciate them. For whatever reason, Mel hasn't done any digging yet. That doesn't mean he won't but he has not yet.
