Settled In
Tara has been here four months now and she finally seems like she’s at home. She’s happy as a clam watching over her ducks/chickens/guineas.
Our electric fences took a beating in the big ice storm so we took them down. Now she’s tethered or leashed to make sure she sticks around. She’s pretty good about staying close, but every now and then the urge to look for coyotes and foxes gets the best of her and she’ll head off into the woods.
Almost every day I take her on a hike to look for coyotes and fox tracks, she has a blast. Every now and then she spooks the odd squirrel and really wants to chase it. Needless to say, I’m glad I’ve got biceps from gardening so I can keep hold of her leash.
All-in-all she’s doing a great job. She even helped us keep the flock safe from a fox last week. This spring we’re hoping to start installing welded wire and electric perimeter fences around the pasture. Then we’ll let her run freely in that area.
Isn’t she a lovely chiots?

Susy, Tara is just doing what her instincts tell her to do. I’m sure you already know that especially in a young dog. Tara looks so content I have to wonder if she remembers any of her old life. I certainly hope not.
We finally got a couple inches of snow last night. The first we have seen this year. City folks here dread snow but it is a necessary thing to have during the winter months in Nebraska. I am hoping for more during the month of February.
Have a great taking Tara for a walk day.

trying to remember what breed she is? I didnt realize you were relying on electric fences to keep her in.
