Thanks for your condolences. Our dog, Daisy, seems to be working out very well. She drove off two coyotes last week while all the goats were out of their pen, and yesterday she drove off a neighbor's dog. Nubbin is still pretty terrified of her, but all the other goats seem to be adjusting well. Cuzco has stopped terrorizing Daisy and is mostly just ignoring her now (although he does charge her if she comes up behind him or shows interest in his dinner).
Daisy has taken to defending her own space too. The other day I heard a terrific YELP! and Daisy went streaking past me with her tail between her legs. Lilly came strutting up after with a large chunk of fluffy white hair in her mouth. Now Daisy is snapping at Lilly if Lilly comes too close with a mischievous gleam in her eye, and she snapped at our new buckling, Pac-Man, after he introduced himself by butting her broadside so that she was completely bowled over. She's not aggressive with the goats and doesn't pick fights with them, but I'm glad she's finally starting to hold her own against them.
That's a beautiful dog you have there, by the way!
