It was a sad morning; we found Wendy dead on one of her sleeping spots in the field. There were no sign of injury or infection. She was her normal self yesterday.


Oh no, Mark! I am so sorry. I remember so well when you got her. With Sam gone and now Wendy, you don't have any dogs guarding your flock, do you?

So very sad for you.

I'm so sorry, what a shock. While she was a working dog, she was still part of your family.

I will miss being greeted by Wendy’s woo woo when I come home or go out the back door and into the field.

While we try to sort out new LGD(s) we have set up a temporary night pen for our flock, electrified fenced area close to the house. The ideal would be to have a young or middle aged working adult Kangal or Anatolian Shepherd (short coated lgd) before lambing to be followed with a puppy after the lambs are big enough to tolerate a puppy (spacing their ages).

Beautiful Wendy. Just so sorry for your loss . . . and at such a critical time. I'm praying you can protect your livestock and find the helpers you need.
