Crimson, the new dairy goat, is afraid of dogs.

"Wwwhere's a dddog?!!"

She is so afraid of dogs that for a week I kept the Livestock Guardian Dog away from the goats to give her time to settle in. This weekend I put Briar back in with the sheep and goats. Crimson ran.

"OOOOhhh! There's a dog!!!"

Clearly someone has failed to tutor Crimson regarding roles of dogs on this farm, so here is a quick tutorial:

Dangerous!

Not Dangerous

If you don't believe me (since after all, I am a Two-Leg) take it from Roanie the ewe who survived the attack from Dangerous Police Dog:

"Big White Dog is our friend."

She protects us from dogs, coyotes, and bobcats.

And she gives kisses. But sometimes she licks my butt before she kisses my face. I could do without that.

"We are good friends."

After all, who couldn't trust this face?

Briar's my screen pin up AGAin. Love the photos. My Pyrs always were VERY alert with pointy eard dogs when on walks. EG German shepherds, heelers etc. The rest were totaly ignored.

Briar is so photogenic! The camera just loves that dog. My Other Half, on the other hand, does not. He cannot stand all the hair around Briar's face and wants me to take the scissors to her! The man simply doesn't understand that her face is a work of art that cannot be touched!
