Ode to Livestock Guardian Dogs

Beware coyotes. Stay away roaming strays. The Livestock guardian dogs are here. They don’t take prisoners. They don’t take crap. Not on their watch. (Not on their watch.) Lily is first. She’s deadly. She can detect predators. Her nose is Incredible. Next is Bo. He doesn’t mess around. He has a perfect record. Predators beware. He’s a legend. Judge brings up the rear. One hundred seventy-five pounds of pure Anatolian Shepard protection. The kind of protection that comes from instinct. A heavyweight of courage. A gentle giant to the goat babies, to the chickens. That’s Judge. He’s a livestock guardian dog. A fearless protector and a friend. He’s a livestock guardian dog. Beware coyotes. Stay away roaming strays. The livestock guardian dogs are here. They don’t take prisoners. They don’t take crap. Not on their watch. (Not on their watch.) Recon Cat is about. She makes it all happen. Yea, for Recon Cat! Judge loves her. Pete not so much. Yea, for Recon Cat. Her tail is in the air. She’s a part of the livestock guardian team. The boss, in case anybody REALLY wants to know. The alpacas are screaming. They see something. Just look at their long necks. (Their long necks). The baby goats are in a huddle. (In a huddle.) How could any animal be so cute? Where are you Bucky? We see you. You’re a part of the team, too. And the roosters. Who could forget about them? Beware coyotes. Stay away roaming strays. The livestock guardian dogs are here. They don’t take prisoners. They don’t take crap. Not on their watch. (Not on their watch.) The livestock guardian dogs are here. Let the livestock guardian dogs out. Let them out. Out Let them out. Let the livestock guardian dogs Out.
