They chase the coyote off your property so that the sheep can sleep in peace (relatively). <BR/><BR/>Sometimes I wonder about all the cattle and sheep farmers that complain about the laws protecting the reintroduced wolves. They say that it keeps them from safely managing their stock. <BR/><BR/>My thought is that if these farmers had dogs like Robin and Bear they wouldn't have to worry about wolves or coyotes tippy-toeing into their pens at night and "maiming and killing" their animals. <BR/><BR/>Plus, it's always nice to see dogs doing what they were meant to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1165243995553978562006-12-04T08:53:00.000-06:002006-12-04T08:53:00.000-06:00When I lived in Missouri, we lived outside of St. ...When I lived in Missouri, we lived outside of St. Louis in the woods (which I believe is all suburbs now...) and we had bobcats. Do you have bobcats? Those suckers are nerve wrecking! We'd hear them now and then, and one of our neighbors' dogs was out playing in the woods and was attacked and killed by one of them. <BR/><BR/>I have to say though, I live in Texas now, and I really miss Missouri winters. They were beautiful. One year we had 6 inches of ice, and then 6 inches of snow on top of that! We were snowed in for a week! I was a kid, so that was possible the best week of my life!...We went sledding without sleds it was so slick! :-) And our dads had to use golf shoes to get to the mailbox...a quarter mile down the road!<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the snow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1165239197389112782006-12-04T07:33:00.000-06:002006-12-04T07:33:00.000-06:00Wonderful essay and wonderful photograph - with 3 ...Wonderful essay and wonderful photograph - with 3 dogs I certainly sometimes whish I could temporarily tkae out their barkers!<BR/>Am off to check out your friends blog and auction now, I have the tissues to hand - just in case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1165232998301869342006-12-04T05:49:00.000-06:002006-12-04T05:49:00.000-06:00I have known people who have -- literally -- had t...I have known people who have -- literally -- had their dog's barker removed. It is some kind of throat surgery, and it seems like mutilation to me. All the dog has left is a sort of cough. Geez, why have a dog if you can't have the bark too? I, on the other hand, have a Sheltie who doesn't know he's a dog. But he doesn't bark. He yaps.

No wonder the coyotes are easier to spot, too.<BR/>My Casper is a rescued dog from Louisiana (before the hurricane) and had just 10 minutes to spare before he was to be gassed. He was vetted and fostered there for 6 weeks (heartworm treatment) and then boarded a plane for Canada, thanks to 1atatime Rescue in Vancouver. He's my constant barking companion, but the Jack Russell in him is all the excuse he needs for that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1165204738786134412006-12-03T21:58:00.000-06:002006-12-03T21:58:00.000-06:00O.K...your posts always move me in some way, but I...O.K...your posts always move me in some way, but I found myself a bit spooked...thinking the coyotes are always there...looking in on you.
