Our old Pyrenees, Jasper, is turning 12 this January, and we lost his beautiful partner, Kiara, two years ago. He's been sad and morose ever since, although he still does his job as well as he can. Being a senior now, he can't run as fast as he used to, and sometimes things get past him, so we'd been on the hunt for a new partner for him for some time now. We finally found her. Meet Maggie, our future guardian dog!
Making friends with the old grumpy guy (actually trying to steal his dinner, LOL!) Sorry, it was low light and full zoom, and my camera sucks... but you get the idea.
She's deadly smart and learns SO fast, it blows my mind. She's the first puppy I've had since 1998, so it's been a little rough getting back into the puppy swing of things, but she's adorable, and I love her to bits. She's learned to keep her distance from hormonal calving cows, she loves all the barn kitties, and the chickens provide her with endless entertainment. She's one of the happiest puppies I've ever seen, but why not? She has all this room to roam and explore, and friends everywhere she turns.
She's going to be every bit as good a protector as Old Man Jasper, maybe better. When Jasper finally leaves us, I'm getting another one from the same breeder. I couldn't be happier with Maggie, and Jasper loves her dearly. He was a bit grouchy toward her at first, but she won him over. She has the perfect balance of in-your-face and submissiveness, and she knows where and when to use both. She's such a joy to have around! I've been moping over losing one of my house dogs (10 year old Dobe female) a couple years back, right on the heels of losing Kiara, but Maggie has brought sunshine and smiles to everyone here, including me!
