Elijah
is BEAUTIFUL! Oh those eyes would melt chocolate in a
heartbeat. Elijah certainly makes me long once again for that 10 week old
fluff ball; you have a whole new world of experiences ahead, and please keep us
posted on the training with the rest of the animals. I made note how you
placed a kennel in the middle of the yard so Elijah could become
acclimated to the environment without being thrown into them all at once.
Your goat sure has a lot of curiosity!
Best
of luck and thank you for brining a wonderful smile to my
face!

As it
always is, the loss of 5 year old Sampson in January (bone cancer) broke our
hearts, and his buddy Molly's. And, as it often happens, a different
place in one's heart is cleared to make way for yet one more love.
He
has arrived. His intended name didn't take, he almost instantly let me
know (somehow) that it needed to be Elijah and Jon and I agreed. He
trotted into our hearts with a confidence that was amazing, tail wagging and
wanting to always be with the humans. He DOES NOT like crate or kennel
and yelled most of the night. The very first thing he did, was SCALE the
child gate (none of our other Pyr puppies ever did that) and land in a heap on
the floor! Yikes. No question, he is going to be a
handful!
Eli is from Mike Floyd's kennel : Kaskadian. He is 9
weeks old and beautiful. Molly was absolutely amazing with him (as you
will see in the pics) - she is the most wonderful dog. He instantly
loved her. Elmo the goat (who thinks he is a Pyrenees) also visited
quite a bit while I had Eli in the field for a time. So many people have
asked on the list, about training dogs for working with poultry and so on, I
thought I would make an effort to regularly post our methods and
progress. Eli will be part of Nightsky Farm - very much what we refer to
as the "family farm dog." And boy, does Nightsky qualify: lots of
pets: 25 chickens, 2 donkeys, 2 goats, 3 ducks, 2 geese, 2 cats, and
possible a couple of pigs late spring. and EVERYONE lives
together.
So, even though I'll crate him in the house at night
and in a kennel in our garage during the day when he needs to be shut in, he
will also immediately begin having some times out in the kennel you see in the
photos - in the middle of the pasture, where he can see all of them and they
can get used to him! Elmo the goat, (who thinks he is a Pyrenees) spent
quite a bit of time visiting with Eli.
Well, not much sleep on
the horizon for us for some days, but that's ok.
