I don’t want to let you go.

I don’t want to give you to the goats.
I know I will still see you and sometimes you can come up the stairs to visit me, but I’m going to miss you being here all the time. I’m going to miss how you bounce across the porch on your giant puppy paws and how you pretend to just accidentally “fall” inside the house if you find the door cracked open for a minute. I’m going to miss how you go to bed with the farm shih-tsu on the big pink blanket and how you just collapse like you’re dead–going from 100 mph to zero in one second–when you’re ready to sleep. I’m going to miss how you get up at 6 am and start dragging that pink blanket around and how the farm shih-tsu tries to bite your head off for waking him up when you throw him off it. And I’m really going to miss how you pick up your food bowl in your mouth and carry it to me when you’re hungry.

I’m going to miss how you like your belly rubbed when you stretch out on the porch and how you find the most ridiculous positions–and places–to sleep.

I’m going to miss how you like to follow me all over the farm and ride in my car. And I know the chickens are going to miss how you like to come with me to let them out every morning and put them away every night.

I’m going to miss how you used to fit into the washtub and how you used to be clean.

I know that what you have to do now is important, and I know that you will be good at your job.

But I’m going to miss how you used to love me more than you love the goats because I know that soon you won’t.
P.S. Don’t forget who gave you all those Snausages.

P.P.S. I have more.

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

It’s time to send the Great Pyrenees off the porch when they explore their surroundings and come back grubby! We went throught that with our two Pyr pups. No longer were they the soft balls of pure white fluff…they had become
the WORKING dogs, covered with the days grit and grime. Our Sophie and Mack come out of the goat yard twice a day to eat, run , and play…and yes, up on the porch with us. Mack at close to 100lbs, (6 mos.) still climbs halfway up on my lap for his daily lovin’! Coco will love you the same, she’s just adding goat relationships. The farm is growing, and so are Coco’s responsibilities. It’s her job to serve and protect!

But she won’t be far – just moved ‘downstairs’. Maybe you can teach her to catch ‘snausages’ as you toss them over the porch railing.=) That would be a fun game! Our pup likes to catch pancakes. So I always have to be sure to make a few extra for the pup…not easy w/ a teen-stomach in the house.
Good Luck!

but it is even harder picking up the dead goats or searching for the missing ones- because they were NOT being watched.
That is Coco’s job! She will be much happier- it’s in her blood!
My ex has a GP for his goats and he and his dogs can’t come near without Hondo corralling the goats behind him and barking. Hondo lets them know when something is “out there>>” that is threatening. It is a real relief having a REAL guard dog.
Especially living out in the country… to many critters that like to eat chickens and goats and lambs… things that go bump in the night!
You will love her even more for what she truly is-
A strong female that will protect your family!
But she really is pretty
