Daisy continues to thrill me with her concern for our goats. A few days ago when I took Snickers and Sputnik to get wethered, Daisy apparently got very upset. Phil says she started howling (usually she just barks), and she kept up such a racket that the neighbor's livestock guardian dogs came up the hill to see what was wrong and provide reinforcement. Phil went out on the porch and told the other dogs to go home and told Daisy to be quiet. Everyone obeyed, but Daisy was overjoyed when I came home and delivered the bucklings safely back to her. Every time I bring a back goat home she sniffs them from nose to tail to make sure they're ok. She's such a good caretaker!
Daisy has been having to sleep outside of the goat pens ever since two weeks ago when I moved them some distance from each other. This bothered her at first and she would whine to be let in, but she's gotten used to it and now she's content just to be let in the pen to see her girls (especially Lilly) once or twice a day. She doesn't usually want to visit the boys' pen. They're not always very nice to Daisy and she'll probably always be somewhat afraid of Cuzco (with good reason!).
