Dog Is Three Legged Goat’s Protector

RU kidding me…this is a Great Pyrenees bred to do what it does…including protecting this goat (or a flock or dependent …of anything). GREAT DOGS…esp if hand-raised in a home & directed. 🙂 We are “dogless” at the moment & have always adopted shelter or strays. For some reason there have been a spate of Great Pyrenees at our shelter, most of them “strays” ( don’t believe it for a minute…owner turns-ins have less days to live in the kill shelter system than a stray…..one of the unintended outcomes of the shelter system…). We’ve considered, but after losing all our Labs/ or Lab mixes in the last few years to old age/old age diseases of dogs & we’re retired or soon to retire)….AND b/c we have a full house of “Covid Cats” yet,…litters that we rescued & then got “stuck with. No complaints…just a huge amt of work in the house 🙂 and a big “Chewy” bill for delivered wet cat food, and etc……

And while I’m thinking of it….if you can help someone else out with cat or dog or other pet food if they are in a tight spot…talk to “Chewy” online….to deliver as a “gift” from you to them. Maybe they will even give a slight discount if you explain (they did to us). We’ve known a pastor couple since the 1980’s…who’ve always worked for pennies to pastor/give to others—each w/their own churches as they’ve worked across this country, and always lived on the margins……they are retired now, and one has had 2 heart attacks and rehab…and now the other is in treatment for leukemia….we send them a Chewy delivery of canned cat food monthly so they don’t have to shop for this while driving an hour a day weekly for Chemo….and also defray some expense for their 2 indoor cats (one adopted from a shelter, the other a stray they took in at our encouragement & had to pay an additional apartment deposit for). There are many ways to show your support and love to friends in need…some of it, just to be able to keep their pets at home, healthy, fed, and loved, vetted in need. So important in any crisis. My own mother’s dying wish was that her little Maltese dog be taken care of into the future.
