\"\"<\/a>Our Great Pyrenees puppies are almost one month old.\u00a0 They have their eyes open, and are becoming proficient at running after their Mom.\u00a0 The pups will be ready to go to their new homes in mid January.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 One of these pups, will be trained as a therapy dog. She will bring help and hope to fragile people.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, when cleaning up a messy kennel, or staying up all night watching over the puppies being born, I wonder if\u00a0 all the work is worth it. My answer is YES! The puppies are\u00a0 blessing. The big dogs are my friends,\u00a0 companions, and\u00a0 guardians. They guard the farm and watch over me.<\/p>\n

As I type, one of the big dogs lays at my feet.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 The big dogs are a part of that blessing.<\/p>\n
