So you think it is all fun, games and naps on a farm?

 This is the morning after. Dude now 3 years chose to stay out last night and party with Esmeralda and Isabella the barn cats. He came in about 5:30 AM had a bite in the pantry and proceeded  to crash. When last seen around noon snoozing.



              

                                       All the while BBBoy chose to cozy  up   to his cactus . 



  

                                Miss Kitty not to be out done took a power nap on the front porch.


       Your guess is  as good as mine . If the pup in front is Cirrus aka Bug then the paw behind him is                                 Storm. Both are enjoying a nice mid morning nap in the SE stall by the water trough.    \           

       
                                  
                                     You won’t catch me snoozing! Someone around this place                                                  someone has to cook, clean and stack hay.

So Much Has Changed Here

 


This is what happens when you don’t blog in almost a year, except for blurbs here and there. When Sherman crossed the Bridge it left a hole for two and four paw creatures. I was determined not to make a quick decision and it was almost September with a lot of seasonal items to fill the coming months. Please remember this is the woman who said I don't want a puppy. However when I got an email from my friend and whose family have raised Great Pyrenees for at least 60 years asking if I knew of anyone who wanted a working pup all that went into the dish water. I got both Spinner and Sherman from Angie . I still had Sherman's bonded partner Yarrow at the age of eleven she was looking at retirement in the face or at least slowing down. "Well what are the lines?" Angie began to rattle off  a pedigree that had some very familiar names. This litter had Sherman's litter in the background. I hesitated to get a single puppy as Yarrow expected life span is 3 years , possibly 4 years tops. If I only got one then in a few years I would be looking for a buddy that one who was bonded to Yarrow. Deep breath knowing there was an outside possibility the pup could out-live me. I am not planning on it but I like to cover all bases when it comes to my critters . I feel it is the responsible thing to do . Another deep breath " Angie would you let me take two males?" So here I am going from no puppies to two. Apparently I had lost my mind. Well of course she would and that is a wonderful idea. So the contract was ironed out I would neuter them as I had no interest in breeding and as Angie has done for so many years she agreed to take the boys back if for any reason I could no longer care for them. They are AKC  and have fancy names  but their call names are Storm and Cirrus as the litter was whelped in a January snow storm . Therefore the litters theme was winter weather. I picked them up at 3 months and they are now almost 7 months. They are typical teenage male Pyrenees full of this and that . Know a laundry list of commands and expectations. They are geniuses one day and the next day I toss out a command and they look at each other as if  they are thinking "do you know what she wants? I have no clue oh well!" More photos will crop up including previous ones at younger stages

And here they are more recently having a good chew in front of the new barn door that I had installed the Spring. And I’m going to let this go for right now and I will be back. I know you’ve heard those words before there were a lot of events this year. A lot of incredible things a lot of amazing things and I think I’m going to walk backwards in time and share them with you but for now welcome to my world Great Pyrenees Central. 💕
