Puppies 'n Mud

There are two-three theories on guard animals. Some say LGDs (large guard dogs). Some say guard llamas only. Some like both. We happen to use LGDs.
Not that I have anything against llamas, I like llamas. I just don't happen to have one. What we do have are Great Pyrenees. we love our pyrs. Our two new puppies, Mojo and Badger, came from an alpaca farm in OK. They fit right in with our others, Axel, six yrs old and mostly blind, and Moose, a two yr old rescue that happily found his way to us.
Sunday, Bob took them all for a walk, oh, let's not forget Rikki, the mini Australian Shepard, and on the way home the puppies found this mud puddle. It's Badger that is the water dog.

Spring Cleaning

Have you figured out the theme for now yet? Of course, Spring.
Today we cleaned pens. Actually, Colin and Hannah, who keep their alpacas here spent the day cleaning the little boys pen and shed. The little boys are the yearlings that have been weaned, but that think they are big boys. They harass our mommas and the new babies so much that we keep them by themselves with a couple of older geldings. Lots of great fertilized dirt came out of that pen.
Bob took the tractor and spent most of the day scraping the girls (mommas) pen. We had to take down some wire cattle panels in order to scrape the accumulation of winter hay and manure out from under. Now we have huge piles of ready compost. Most of will go to neighbors yards and gardens.
I, do to just getting a cast off of my right hand, supervised. Oh, I also picked up trash from where I hope to put the lawn in........finally

Spring has sprung

Ah yes, the little green things showing up,mostly some kind of nasty desert sticker,the koi waking up in the pond, and the first cria, baby alpaca, of the year.
Knee high snow one day, knee high mud the next. On the right with his big sister Debra Dawn.
Jeanie T waited three extra days until the sun shined to have this sweet little boy.
