It was in the 20's this morning but but all of the critters are liking it. I think most of the sheep are bred but one obviously isn't since Ringo keeps trying to change that. I brought both of the LGDs into the porch this morning for some grooming. Thor is more biddable doing obedience training than Maisy but even she is getting better (when she wants to). She is good with her people but getting her into a vehicle isn't a pleasant experience. I have Thor jumping up onto the golf cart and in the truck on command and we go for short little trips so it isn't something he dreads. Maisy watching that has resulted in her getting on the golf cart as long as it doesn't move.

Typical of the breed, Thor is a serious looking boy.

Merlin had to be lifted/shoved into my car by his owner and her sister when we picked him up. Wasn't sure how I was going to manage getting him in the car when I had to take him back 3 weeks later. But I had given him a rib bone the night before. I walked him to the car and opened a back door. DD1 opened the other back door and reached across with the bone. Merlin got in unassisted.

Close resemblance, but he has more hair!

That's a past member of Saturday Night Live. He, playing character Tommy Flannagan was always saying "yeah..that's the ticket.." too.

Bruce - Maisy was due for her shots right after we brought her home. We wanted the sheep checked over anyway so we had the vet do a farm call and she got her shots that day. I like our vet because if you need something done and don't want to go in he will come out to the truck.

Yah, I enjoy Jon Lovitz. He's a good comedian.

He still has more hair than me.

I really do. I often just go out and walk with them and I see what you guys often post about. They are marvelous creatures. I love my kids but never took as many pictures as I do of these guys.

You really get to see firsthand now why it is so important to have that human interaction with pups. Really glad Maisy has a partner!

A friend of mine recently called someone about a pup- the person told her that "hands off" is the way to raise the LGD.
My friend asked a few questions and then said, yeah not the dogs for me...
Unbelievable.
