What could possibly go wrong?
Sunday, March 19, 2023 It seemed like such a wonderful idea. The snow was still quite deep but frozen hard enough to walk on so Farmer Ed took the white dogs on a walk with their leashes still attached to … Continued
Saturday adventures coming
Saturday, March 18, 2023 Please hold a good thought for us today as we plan to try to let the guardian dogs test our fencing again. Maybe if we all imagine Blue staying on the inside of the property he’ll … Continued
Garage dogs
Tuesday, March 14, 2023 We’ve seen some melting but more snow is on the way so we just can’t be sure the teeny tiny fences will work to keep the white dogs in. We do walk them and visit them … Continued
We had to try
Wednesday, March 8, 2023 It was a beautiful sunny afternoon, I thought perhaps the snow had shrunk by an inch or so and I was feeling confident about the new hot wire fencing. “Let’s let the dogs out for some … Continued
Think good thoughts
Tuesday, March 7, 2023 No more new snow overnight! No melting either, but every little bit helps. We almost let the guardian dogs out yesterday but after we looked at those teeny tiny fences we decided against it. We … Continued
More winter
Monday, March 6, 2023 Hot wire fencing works well to keep dogs contained because they touch the wire with their sensitive noses when they try to climb over. They get a little shock and decide not to touch any … Continued
Snowy Sunday
Sunday, March 5, 2023 Unfortunately we got another 6 or 7 inches of snow overnight and the fence tops are barely visible. I do not see how we can let the dogs out of the garage. Not only will they … Continued
Last day of Summer photos
Saturday, March 4, 2023 Well let’s get the bad news over with. The fencing wasn’t secure enough to keep Blue in. When we first let them out of the garage they ran and played and got reacquainted with the property … Continued

Friday, March 3, 2023 It’s a big day. We’re going to let the guardian dogs out for a trial run this morning. Farmer Ed worked his butt off to secure the main property with hot wire and there’s only one … Continued

Hard working dogs
Friday, February 24, 2023 The more often the dogs walk on the paths, the more packed down they become. So I’m grateful to se them out there patrolling and checking the far areas. However if you fall off the dog … Continued
All’s well
Thursday, February 23, 2023 We made it through another challenging day of winter 2023. Farmer Ed shoveled so many paths to make it safe for me to get to the animals and I’m very grateful for him. He did an … Continued
