Did you know?
For an extra fee, you can register your working farm dogs…. This registration allows the town to know that you have working dogs, and protects the dogs from complaints.
Our guardian dogs work the hours we can’t. Overnight, weekends, midday work days. They hear, see, and smell better than we do. And they know their job.
Border collies are poetry in motion. These dogs live to herd, and to please their people. A job that is impossible without dogs, is a pleasure with them.
Last spring, our new lambs got separated when the ewes went out to pasture for the first time. Two groups: lambs who have never left the barnyard, and ewes who haven’t seen fresh grass in five months. If you know sheep, you know that neither of these groups are going anywhere…. Until Elsa and Ben insist.
Our dogs have saved us literally hundreds of hours (and the most stressful of farming hours).
So, when a neighbor screams obscenities at you, because the dogs woke him up? You call the town dog warden, and he backs you up, and you thank your lucky stars that you live in a state where legislation has protected working dogs’ ability to DO THEIR JOBS, night or day, rain or shine, so farmers, too, get to sleep at night.
Thanks dogs. Thanks friendly neighbors. Thanks . Thanks .
The guy screaming at us today? Not so much…😕
