Guard dog

Each morning Simon plants himself on the front patio and keeps watch over Windy Ridge.   He just sits for hours and watches.   In the distance you can see the noble steed grazing the north field.  Technically you probably couldn’t call our female donkey a steed, but everytime I see her scratching her butt on the chicken coop I can’t help but think, what a noble steed!

    do they slobber as much as boxer? I can only imagine our boxer sitting quietly for hours … the moment we see him in the position similar to image 1 here .. he most likely is almost gone as he spotted something in the bush 😀
