My Big Dogs
Our Great Pyrenees puppies are almost one month old. They have their eyes open, and are becoming proficient at running after their Mom. The pups will be ready to go to their new homes in mid January.
I wonder what their future holds. Some will become livestock guardians. They will faithfully protect family flocks and herds from harm and danger. They will patrol their territory with watchful eyes, ready to pounce on anything that would attempt to hurt their charges. Others will be family pets, best friends to small children and faithful companions to adults. One of these pups, will be trained as a therapy dog. She will bring help and hope to fragile people.
Sometimes, when cleaning up a messy kennel, or staying up all night watching over the puppies being born, I wonder if all the work is worth it. My answer is YES! The puppies are blessing. The big dogs are my friends, companions, and guardians. They guard the farm and watch over me.
As I type, one of the big dogs lays at my feet. She seems curious about the Christmas tree and stares at the colorful lights. The other Pyrs are out in the pasture, guarding the sheep. Bob is making egg nog in the kitchen. In a world filled with unbelievable tragedy, it is quiet in the house tonight. The big dogs are a part of that blessing.

Dear Sarah,
I so enjoyed hearing about your thoughts on these majestic animals. We are looking forward to coming out to pick up our big white little man who we will name Seamus with the hopes that he will make a wonderful therapy dog someday. Thank you for sharing your message of hope and gratitude,
Happy New Year.
Ellen
