Akiva, the guard dog. Don't let that smile fool you. She's 100 pounds and measures up to my chest when she's on all fours. |
Within the past couple of weeks, lambing season brought Akiva a whole new flock. Nothing says spring like little, bleating lambs bounding around a green pasture. There are also a couple of baby goats.
In exchange for our farm-sitting, our neighbor plans to pay us in the form of goat cheese and lamb chops. Not a bad trade.
