On Great Pyrenees, I had a buddy who retired to the mountains of California in the Palmdale area. He had two great pyrenees and they would occasionally bring him a mountain lion and leave it on the front porch. They will instinctually take up with the animals and guard them. Wonderful dogs.Probably has Great Pyrenees if they are white. That is what my mixes are (three of them) but one is an Anatolian/Pyrenees mix and I am doing some research on the Anatolian breed so as to understand her disposition. Some People after raising them from pups leave them with the herd and they find their own food amongst the small animals out there. They are very self sufficient it is said and willfully stubborn about their job. They think for themselves and need very little supervision. Loyal to the family and animals they are assigned to and very big. Below is a picture of an adult Anatolian that looks similar to my puppy who is 6 1/2 months old. She has a little more fur due to the mix but, the markings and look are the same. She is the second picture taken about a month ago. She is already over 70lbs.
Our older one (half Pyrenees) sits with us when we go in the front yard where no fences are. She stays right with us and will not leave our side. When we get ready to go back in the house she has to always be the last one to enter. It is engrained in them to watch and protect. She has been our protector for over 10 years now. It is time for the changing of the guard with the new one.
My brother in law has a farm in Kentucky and he uses Pyrenees with his sheep.
Had to put 2 dogs down this year. One for old age in June and one riddled with cancer in July that was only 6. Very hard on me but, I will gladly go through it for the time and companionship they give. That and the peace of mind with three or four in the house at night anyone snooping around probably would not pick my house to vandalize.
My folks used to raise horses in western Ky. They had a Great Pyrenees. Never brought them a lion, but now and then brought them a deer.
Well I just had an interesting conversation with an irrigation company that will be replacing my pump. Maybe I asked when they could get to it and the man said he had no idea because they can not get any pumps. He said they are probably on a ship off of the coast of California.
That was not an answer I wanted to hear. I let him know the Port of Tampa was wide open and all shipments are being handled without a problem and Port of Jacksonville is not reporting backup problems. I told them I expect them to have my pump in by Monday or we find another company. One that does not depend on shipments from California.
We are not impressed with Joe Biden's America down here and that includes mooring ships off of California. Dock them and unload them nit wit brain dead fearless leader
This one is for our bird lovers. I saw him in a tree in my backyard. He has been here before. About a year ago he swooped down out of the sky, and over the pool screen and dove into the lake for nice fish. We see a lot more ospreys than eagles around here. Ospreys are very common.
I love to see them in the wild. We back up to a wildlife preserve (grandpa called them swamps) and the amount of species of wildlife are spectacular. There is always some form of wildlife in my yard or the lake behind my house. I counted 21 white egrets out there this morning and yesterday a flock of wild turkeys marched single file through my yard. Probably 11 or 12 in the line.
In Bowling Green today I paid $14.98 per pound for the exact cut. But I used up all my steaks last weekend. You must have steak available!At this rate, they'll need a loan department next to the meat department.
Can you believe this. I wonder where this is? Not long ago you could buy a whole steer for that much.At this rate, they'll need a loan department next to the meat department.
Let's go Brandon!At this rate, they'll need a loan department next to the meat department.
Breaks my heart Austin. So tough to watch our furry friends suffer. Hopefully she'll heal quickly.We're dealing with this right now. Lots of pain. She's whining. Can't blame her. Bone was broken, Not an torn ACL as previously suspected. Her and pit bull next door often got into bark fests through the fence. Pup overextended herself. Chasing birds was the breaking point, so to speak.
Chief - I’ve long admired the cumulative wisdom and expertise I’ve seen on display here in the field of competitive non-working and top grade goofing off.
Jump on in, the water's fine!
Not an issue starcheif. I guess we have so many birds it keeps the population down. Plus all of the chameleons feast on them so they really are not an issue.
