Did you know that we once got to “babysit” dogs for a few months?

Yep! We took care of two Great Pyrenees dogs – Alex and Shelby.  Great Pyrs are livestock guardian dogs for the goats.  But we just liked to play with them.  Unfortunately, they also like to roam, and our 3 acres weren’t enough to keep them happy.  But while their owner was looking for a farm for them to live on, the best thing ever happened…

Shelby had puppies!  So now we were taking care of seven dogs!

We loved those puppies!! We named them Molly, Annie, Gunner, Balto, and… I can’t remember the other one. I think it might have been Nancy.

Well, after one or two months, it was time for the puppies to go to their new homes.

Annie went to live with friends of ours who still call her Annie.
Molly is with our FedEx guy. Her new name is Nala.
Gunner lives with other friends now, and they call him Jocco.

We get to see pictures, hear about them, and know that they are being taken care of and well loved.  I’m so glad that Shelby chose the short time she was with us to have her puppies.  It was really special!
