This panorama (click to make it larger) shows the enthusiasm our loyal puppy has for protecting her family against…well, I’m not sure what. Below is my best … More What Does a Farm Dog Do All Day?
Earlier this winter, our puppy caught sight of a nature show hubby was watching on TV. When the wolves appeared, she got very agitated.
