We have a lions den of german shepherds that keep everything at bay, except the bears. Of course they can't be loose when the girls (hens) are out. They love the chase. One of our crazy dogs actually treed (spelling doesn't look right) a cougar this past summer. Strange story I know, but I'm telling you its true. The cougar hasn't been back and now the conservation department admits that we have them in this area, lol. The other downfall is the fact that I'd like to get a small little flock of sheep. They'd never last here with the shepherds. :( Not sure I could even keep goats with them, but they allow me to sleep peacefully at night. We sure do learn from trial and error out here don't we? I don't think we're too far from each other....we should get together one of these days. I'd love to meet ya!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266816805551915978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-80482832201612815792012-01-11T19:18:18.536-06:002012-01-11T19:18:18.536-06:00Sounds like you could solve a large part of your p...Sounds like you could solve a large part of your problem by getting a couple of real dogs. I grew up north of Hatfield way way way out in the boondocks, and we never had any of the problems you mentioned. Probably because we had a couple of dogs that we didn't have to worry about them getting eaten by coyotes. It was the coyotes that were worried.rocking R rusticshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15173461420385700988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-67148506112161218822012-01-11T07:02:11.947-06:002012-01-11T07:02:11.947-06:00Beautiful...I have never seen as dark a pelt as th...Beautiful...I have never seen as dark a pelt as the next to the last one on the bottom row.
