Hello! Thank you for your newsletter, I always find it a cheerful moment when it arrives! Wondered if you've heard of Nora Lenz and her book about keeping animals healthy. We now feed raw and our animals are doing so well. We also put MMS in their water, just the Sodium chlorite (part 1 of 2) bc their stomach acid activates the SC..., no more vax.. meds.. Anyway, wanted to throw this your way. Wishing you and yours the best. Thanks
I loved reading about your Pyr's, so interesting. After viewing the video of the Charleston House I couldn't help wonder about your house being shown some day. 😊
I just read about Colorado Mountain Dogs. What is their breed composed from? Look a lot like a Pyr? They are all such great big balls of love- aren’t they?
Yes the Pyr’s were the base breed and they threw in Anatolian Shepherd, Boz, Maremma, Kuvasz, Akbash. They are looking for the traits of a drier mouth, more people friendly, better instinct to stay with the sheep. Mine are big lovie fur balls but they also do wander. Mine pretty much stay in the night corral with the sheep. They do create enough noise that I have not lost any sheep the predators. We have coyotes, mountain lions, Bob cars and now wolves moving into the area.
I’m so glad you continue to send your newsletters by email. It is my preferred way to subscribe. Keep sharing your colorful creativity and varied interests.
This post was so interesting to me. I thought you'd had LGD's much earlier in your shepherding career. When I had sheep sometimes I wished I had one or two but now I see it never would have worked in this neighborhood where coyotes are very close but so are neighbors.
They have gotten much more popular. People are getting them to guard their chickens. I also see many being rehomed and up for adoption because of their strong instincts. I would never have one in a neighborhood situation. Not fair for the dog. You made the right choice. We knew the troubles we were going to have with them. That’s why we waited til we could no longer wait anymore.

Hi Kristin! Beautiful work as always! I hope you are well!
So nice to hear from you Ellen. I hope you are well. Still crocheting? Hope so. 😀
No Bob cars but we do have Bob cats
I love our LGD's!! We currently have three. Two Colorado mountain dogs and a Anatolian/Kangal cross. They love the sheep!

Thanks for reading Mary. I too like the email part of Substack. People can choose the app or email.
