A Sheep, a Dog and a Story
Some of you have asked, so here is the story of how Badger, a Livestock Guardian Dog, came to live and work on our farm, with my flock of sheep. You might be surprised to hear the reason why I decided, after many years of raising livestock without one, that a dog would be an asset to our small place. This is also the story of a very special bond between two animals.
A disclaimer, of sorts. These are my thoughts, my experiences, my opinions only and I just briefly touched on the day to day dealings f ongoing farm life. Your situation may be completely different, you may have different experiences and you may chose to deal with issues on your farm in a completely different way - and that's o...

    I’m so sorry about Style, you were kind to let her go. What a great story about Badger! I had no idea deer are such a problem there. We have a “resident” black tail doe with her two fawns. I say resident because I see her the most. A couple bucks appear in the fall, and that’s it. I’m aware of mountain lions in our area, which keeps the deer population and unfortunately goat population occasionally in check.

    It was soothing to have you keep me company as I waited for Tom to have an emergency eye appointment at the hospital (nothing wrong with retina-yay!- and he’s seeing fine now, so they gave him the OK. Said if the issue returns, get seen again 🤷🏻‍♀️) It was nice to be distracted by your woolly gifts and Kyle the Wonder Horse! I’ve still got the fibre I ordered from Marina on my to-spin list, it’s so pretty in your cozy socks! 🤗
