Nice looking pup! Congrats

 

[Mike CHS]

Maisy wasn't sure how to take the pup at first and the pup has no fear so we will have to work with that one. He had been with sheep and his dam and sire since born so he is pretty confident. We only had about an hour before it got too dark but Maisy finally decided the pup was ours to and left it alone. They won't be together unsupervised for awhile so we have time to play with. She knocked him down once but when it yelped and bit her back she decided that wasn't good and and left him alone. Since we were there we let her know it wasn't what we wanted and she backed off. The pup played submissive for the first meeting but not for long so we shall see.

They are forecasting some winds and some rain but nothing like they are predicting for Florida. We have winds all the time so nothing new.

Somehow I figured there would be something that would come out of this trip.........really nice looking boy, things should workout with the situation and sounds like he will be a Big boy, for sure. Before long they'll be drafting ya as an officer in the association, especially when they get a gander at your place there, too....
@Bruce we have worse weather come thru spawning tornados than Irma will do here....they are talking some rain....maybe, depending on where it stalls to...right now, we are west of the projected rain field...so it is iffy that we get any of it here.

Yeah, She is supposed to run NW between you and Mike, then turn NE.

I have friends that have had their permanent residence in Fort Myers for about the last 12 years, they summer up here. Irma is slated to run directly over Fort Myers. Based on the storm surge maps, no need to hurry back south, their house has a 90%-100% chance of being flooded by 9' storm surge. It is in one of the many neighborhoods built with canals so everyone can have their boat in the "back yard" and motor out to sea to "play". Near as I can tell from Zillow, the entire neighborhood is mobile homes. Depending on the winds, the surge flooding may not matter at all because there won't be anything left to flood.

Fred - one of the things I like about this bunch is that other than a Secretary/Treasurer, there are no officers just board members. The majority of them are small farms with less than 50 sheep and a few with several hundred.

It sounds like a really good group and it can only benefit your operation there. The support, commradery, and experiences can only be a benefit to y'all.....not to mention the ability to improve your herd.

pretty white male Akbash pup followed us home

Oh my goodness - he's precious!! I'd bet that Maisy will take to him soon enough!

 

[Mike CHS]

Maisy was typically not sure what that thing was at first but when we take him out in the pasture with us she was ok with him being there. The pup almost blew it when he grabbed a bone Maisy had been chewing on and took off with it.

THAT was not a smart move, lol. But, he'll 'get it' soon enough I'll bet!

Did the Katahdin group mention that the person hosting the annual meeting get a quality breeding pair as a thank you???
