My cats are good guard alerts. A friend came home to find his TV on the yard and door open. They found the burglar at the hospital for scratches all over his face. Go Pablo!
It was nice to see/hear Abby doing her guard duties. Especially when she spotted the danger BEFORE Toby. Thanks for including that segment. Keep up the good work.
i was just having a quick lunch while watching the video and that part was like " oh why now " moment xD good thing the video was so dark u cant see it in detail cuz i really didnt wanna see and think about dogs puking while having my lunch
I'm really just struck again by your commitment to working with Abby and training her to be a good bird guard dog. She definitely lacks a certain temperament and aptitude, but that hasn't stopped you from working with her and trying to mould her into a good worker. It's really nice to see
Abby is still young. She's a puppy, and puppies require work. She still has her puppy energy. I think she'll work out to be an excellent working dog. She seems to simply need the consistent training Morgan is giving her, and she'll be an excellent farm dog. Her energy is a good thing, as when there is a threat, she'll have the energy and enthusiasm to take care of business. Higher energy dogs take more work to train, but when you direct her energies in the right direction, they ultimately make the best farm dogs and will do the work for you. She is a very smart dog. She pays attention to everything around her and to what Morgan does with her. Sure, she plays too, but that's because she's a puppy, and in part her personality. She's different than Toby, that she's female, and that she has different interests and is younger, too. She's quite an amazing young dog. 😍 She's come a long way, and she's still learning. Teaching dogs problem-solving skills is far better than only commands. As Morgan said, you have to teach them not just to follow commands but also why they need to do what you want them to do. Animals are FAR more intelligent than most people give them credit. Talking to them, as if they are children, and from a very young age makes a HUGE difference in their successes as they get older. I always think it's interesting when a human gets hurt, and a dog will go to get help from another human, and people are surprised. Socialization, training, "conversations" (talking to them), and love between you and them go a VERY long way to these incidents. They are far more common than many people think).
@@GoldShawFarm It's comical her breeder demonizes you when to be very blunt on many other farms Abby would've been kicked to the curb / dumped on the side of the road or sent to a kill shelter. I've watched since she joined & majority she shows limited value as a LGD & I say that from a family who has kept LGDs (sheep & cattle) for 70 years. As a family pet she's okay. And I say that because personality wise alone - forget the health - if she was a properly bred LGD she should act like Toby not be so clingy to you. And this is a growing trend with LGD breeds. "Breeders" breeding animals that legitimate working line breeders would spay/neuter rather than let reproduce (based on personality alone) and selling them to people/families looking for something more "exotic" than a Border Collie or a German Shepherd (that'll explain the number of puppies for you).
@@gingerbaker4579 I agree that the “house dogging” of working breeds is a real problem. And yeah, Abby is a bit more of a companion than I would like for an LGD. That was core reason I had her spayed. Of course, all that said, I absolutely love that dog.
I'm impressed with the new hoop-coop and how accumulated the cattle have become with Morgan. Sometimes, a night out of the house with the "employees" is the best medicine. ^^ Gwad, those camera shots of the sky was absolutely gorgeous!
Abby sure loves you! It's hard when the dog you got for a purpose doesn't fit that job, but you're giving her a great life regardless. We have a couch guardian Pyr/Anatolian and I would never have any other breed.
Slumber party!! This was fun; thanks for sharing. Sleeping on straw bales was probably much warmer than sleeping in the hammock would have been, because you would have been surrounded by cold air in the hammock. One of the first rules of sleeping outdoors is to have something more than just a sleeping bag between you and the ground.
I hope he did that for the laugh. I hope he didn't think a hammock there made any sense at all. I think it was a set up; he had the hay bales nice and handy, just the right amount. Still, it was funny.
@@GoldShawFarm yes that was hilarious Morgan!!! As a matter of fact I don't think I've laughed so much at one of your videos!! I think it's safe to say that this is my top three favorite video of yours!!! Well done Morgan!! Well done!!!!!
Morgan I commend you for encouraging people to seek guidance for things that are troubling. This video is the best. Your animals aren't used to having you wandering in the dark. Your situation is a little different than most with your dogs. I find holding my dog helps me relax and sleep. My dog is a dachshund 🤣.
Thank you so much for the video! It was so calming and relaxing to watch. Especially the fast forward scenes of the night sky and the evening sky. They were so breathtaking. Please occasionally upload such evening/night sky timeskips in your RUclips Shorts. I'm sure I won't be the only one who'd love to see that.
All of that clear night sky, the inky black and stars. You forget that's what it should look like living so far in the city/towns with all the light pollution. Man, Vermont's beautiful.
Oh Morgan, the sky, the clouds, the wonderful and very special autumn light... Toby, Abby and all your animals around...😍 what a great idea to spend the night outside! I really enjoyed this video. Thank you ❤ Much love and good night from Bavaria 🙋🏼♀️🥰

The timelapses were my second favorite part of this video! My 1st favorite was Abby giving you lots of love🥰 shes a cutie! Toby and her are such good pups💙💙💙
I love this view into your life on the farm! The night video with the dear, coyote, and wild cats made me smile. Please keep sharing your life like this. You are making a difference.
My senior pup has night duty too. If she barks I respect her and go see what's what. If I wonder about an intruder I ask her if she wants to go out. Sometimes I'll sleep on the porch, you're right in having quiet time for thoughts. Carry on
What an awesome night! No TV, no Internet, no electronics, except the camera, lights, and a notepad... This is a great way to get a better feel of your animals and your farm. I'd love to see more nighttime videos! A night with the birds and the cattle would be great, too! You get to hear and feel what the animals do when you spend the night with them in their environment. It can give you insight on improvements for them, and yourself as well.
Maybe an air mattress next time will be more comfortable, the hammock was funny though, and I'm not too sure how comfortable that would have been. Toby and Abby must have enjoyed the company. Thanks Morgan, always good to see what's shaking at Gold Shaw Farm.
An air mattress outside is asking for it to be flat in the morning. Foam would be better at that point, or even natural material like loam and pine branches. Also, anyone who's spent time overnight outdoors knows you want more between you and the ground/ air than your bag/ blanket... and an air mattress would condense with the cold and be a heat sink.
You are correct,lol, thinking about the location the conditions etc. it makes a lot more sense to have a memory foam mattress and the other things you mentioned. Cheers and have nice weekend!
I agree with the benefits of having quiet time alone. I occasionally go into my netted hammock in the winter, bundle up and just have a night to myself. No outside influence, just me, the hammock, and staying warm.
As always both entertaining and interesting. I’m so impressed with your openness about therapy, after all, no different than going to the doctor or the dentist! 😻
As a retired psychiatrist (MD) and board certified in psychotherapy, I am glad to see Morgan being acquainted with the process of introspection. Getting to know one's self honestly helps one to make adaptive changes more easily. A rare number of individuals don't need help doing this, then there are the rest of us. A good therapist is a good guide. I wish Morgan much success on his life's journey. The US federal law requires any physician to tell the reader when any medical information is given, this information does not make a doctor/patient relationship.
Taking a moment and spending time in nature is a good way to reset the clocks. In our modern life we need an adjustment time just to recuperate. This is especially true with those of us who have careers that pull them in multiple directions.
Should you make round with the mower on the outside of your fence b4 winter sets in. JUST to clear the area and make weasels, skunk, mink and other little varmints easier for the dogs to notice.
All these stars in the sky, it's so beautiful! These days the Canada Geese fly over our town by the hundreds. It's like we're a resting station. In the morning they fly East to find the fields and spend the day feeding and resting. At around 7pm they fly in the other direction to get to the lakes where they all gather and sleep for the night. There are so many of them that we can hear the gazoos even if they're miles away. In a few days they will all be gone to a warmer region, probably somewhere in the US.
Thank you for being open & honest enough for a person who seems to have it all together to admit that even you need therapy some times. It makes me feel less ashamed to admit I need help sometime.
To quote Henry David Thoreau, " I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." Sounds like your life motto to me.
It was a good night. No dead birds in the morning so good sign for Abby. Maybe not cost-effective, but night vision goggles (no flashlight) paired w/night vision camera (trail cam?) would be great for these kinds of vids. Keep the trail cam on you when you sleep too so we can see the dogs cuddle you. Would also love more w/the dogs. Remember those ‘day in the life’ vids you did way back? Floof mode vs Beast mode? We need more Toby. :)
What a great video Morgan. The Time lapse shots were soooo cool. Overall ur channel is getting so visually stunning. I've always loved ur content but ur video skills have just been growing so fast. Much love from Hershey Pennsylvania
That was great. I love the fact that you're sleeping with the dogs . the geese are swimming at night and your cattle, beautiful cattle. love those long horns. Thank you for sharing you have a great farm.
You should buy a night vision monocular or binocular. Amazing tool for anyone living rual/forest. You’ll learn so much more about what’s really going on around you at night.
Abby seems to be more of an inside/house dog. She craves interaction and attention where Toby likes it but doesn’t need it nearly as much. They’re so different in that regard. I think she would love living in the house, but Tody would get bored with it and just want to be outside doing what he’s made to do.
I would love to see a documentary about your farm, Morgan. I imagine it would be called 'The little farm that could." Although you do a great job of showing us all what day to day life is like on the farm. I bet we would find out all kind of things about you that would surprise us. You are such a sweetie, very thoughtful and caring with the animals on your farm. But you can be very stubborn and persistent as well. You remind me of my late and sweet little Chihuahua, Paco. He was the snuggliest little creature ever, but it did not matter what you would say to him or how serious you were when telling him to stop barking. He would still come out with that quiet little "Buff" just to have his say. Just like you when dealing with the bear thing. Kudos for you for getting your 'Buff' out there and not backing down. You're a great farmer.
I really enjoyed this different style of video. Watching Abbey getting her first night of being a guardian dog was great! I am sorry Morgan but I laughed when you first tried your hammock and you ended up on your butt. You looked so resigned to your fate! It's not easy when our minds tell us we are svelte and light as a feather, and then our bodies tell us that we are in fact, not even slightly svelte or even a tiny bit light, lol! I know this from personal experience my friend, so you are not alone! My favourite parts of this video were watching Abbey jump all over you as you tried to get in the sleeping bag, that was adorable, and the other good bit of the video was that sunrise with that gorgeous music! That was superb! Thanks for a great video. I thoroughly enjoyed it. God bless you and all those you love Morgan. Have a great day!
A few years ago I went to theropy. Helped me deal with life at the time. I think after staying the night out with the dogs, your getting an idea of what they do at night.
I know that it was mentioned that Toby and Abby are working dogs, but their body language with the favorite human indicates that they know they are cared for and loved. I live near the eastern coast of the U.S. so I KNOW mosquitoes. It does depend on the year, but maybe try early September for sleepovers? While we do have a week or two of Spring weather, but it is hard to catch that one!😉
I love how you acknowledge that you ARE eating your animals, feeding them to their former guardians, and how you thanked Kurt for what he provides you. (The majority of your fowl have no names or it's rarely mentioned that few would know who you're talking about.) This is what farming is all about. Sure people eat the eggs from their chickens, ducks, etc. but that's just not the same type of acknowledgement. I'm so glad to know that you are going to use Kurt's head and hide, too. Don't let anything of him go to waste! And I love that Alison is in charge of your crops. She may not be involved in the animals that much, but she does have input into other aspects of the farm.
The bed part where Abby was cuddling with you was the cutest.
My cats are good guard alerts. A friend came home to find his TV on the yard and door open. They found the burglar at the hospital for scratches all over his face. Go Pablo!
I love my cat, but she would have just watched then carried on with whatever “squirrel!” happened next. 😂
It was nice to see/hear Abby doing her guard duties. Especially when she spotted the danger BEFORE Toby. Thanks for including that segment. Keep up the good work.
the fact that Morgan was able to keep eating his food after Abby throws up makes me giggle
You grow a strong stomach from farm life
I'm like who's Morgan lol 😆
Great vid. Glad your back!!!
"just because she lost her lunch doesn't mean i don't get to eat mine"
Especially since they looked so similar, lol .
Abby puking up her food and then re-eating it is the perfect example of what life is like with animals
Spot on. It was caused by feeding them so close together; they (Abby) needs lots of distance.
@@virginiamoss7045 yep. She felt like she had to eat quick.
i was just having a quick lunch while watching the video and that part was like " oh why now " moment xD

New meaning to "dog house ".
It's the Gooze House!
18:34 Abby is being a good Cow herding pupper. Just calmly walking on behind them. Not rushing it.
Everyone should have a sleepover with their fur family at least once!
It is kind of hard when the fur family member actually sleeps in my room? 😄

He's an adult and she's a puppy. There is no inherent personality difference here.
@@alphanerd7221 you think if Toby and Abby were the same age they would act the same?
@@WanderTheNomad Yes. They would. They are the same breed, closely related, and trained by the same guy.
This video was just ❤the night footage and the dogs doing their work was really great and fun to see
Lol. I enjoyed this. It's always fun hanging out with dogs.
Sinus infection! Its amazing how resilient you are!
Time lapse shots of farm were gorgeous
Thank you for the message to slow down and enjoy the simple things.
abby is learning so much! i cant help but wonder if she would be more successful as a pet than a work dog. she's so snuggly!
She still very young.
I would love to see a documentary about your farm, Morgan. I imagine it would be called 'The little farm that could." Although you do a great job of showing us all what day to day life is like on the farm. I bet we would find out all kind of things about you that would surprise us. You are such a sweetie, very thoughtful and caring with the animals on your farm. But you can be very stubborn and persistent as well. You remind me of my late and sweet little Chihuahua, Paco. He was the snuggliest little creature ever, but it did not matter what you would say to him or how serious you were when telling him to stop barking. He would still come out with that quiet little "Buff" just to have his say. Just like you when dealing with the bear thing. Kudos for you for getting your 'Buff' out there and not backing down. You're a great farmer.
I think you treat all your animals with respect and love ! Plus, I think Abby would make a great guard dog and herder!
Great video! The time-lapse shots of the night sky were stunning!
Thoroughly enjoyed this! Thanks! I think some trail cam footage found its way in to your sleepover video. 🤠
What a beautiful shot of the starry night sky!
The time lapse of the sky at night was so cool!!
Morgan I love your videos and content! Watching your videos always makes my day better :)
Yay! It’s a Toby dog and Abby dog video! 😃
Beautiful scenery..... Sweet that ur sleeping out.... Lololol good luck !!!!
I really enjoyed this different style of video. Watching Abbey getting her first night of being a guardian dog was great! I am sorry Morgan but I laughed when you first tried your hammock and you ended up on your butt. You looked so resigned to your fate! It's not easy when our minds tell us we are svelte and light as a feather, and then our bodies tell us that we are in fact, not even slightly svelte or even a tiny bit light, lol! I know this from personal experience my friend, so you are not alone! My favourite parts of this video were watching Abbey jump all over you as you tried to get in the sleeping bag, that was adorable, and the other good bit of the video was that sunrise with that gorgeous music! That was superb! Thanks for a great video. I thoroughly enjoyed it. God bless you and all those you love Morgan. Have a great day!
A few years ago I went to theropy. Helped me deal with life at the time. I think after staying the night out with the dogs, your getting an idea of what they do at night.
Sleep out so cool! I couldn't get the link to the donation to work through RUclips so I went directly to their website, great cause!
They were so happy to spend extended time with you. 🥺
I know that it was mentioned that Toby and Abby are working dogs, but their body language with the favorite human indicates that they know they are cared for and loved. I live near the eastern coast of the U.S. so I KNOW mosquitoes. It does depend on the year, but maybe try early September for sleepovers? While we do have a week or two of Spring weather, but it is hard to catch that one!😉
I love how you acknowledge that you ARE eating your animals, feeding them to their former guardians, and how you thanked Kurt for what he provides you. (The majority of your fowl have no names or it's rarely mentioned that few would know who you're talking about.) This is what farming is all about. Sure people eat the eggs from their chickens, ducks, etc. but that's just not the same type of acknowledgement. I'm so glad to know that you are going to use Kurt's head and hide, too. Don't let anything of him go to waste! And I love that Alison is in charge of your crops. She may not be involved in the animals that much, but she does have input into other aspects of the farm.
That cloud time-lapse footage was 👌
Absolutely LOVED this video!!!! Can't wait to see more like it!!!! Perfect job Morgan!!!!!
