From the 2013 archive- dogs

Last year, we tried livestock guardian dogs.

We had Pax less than 24 hours when she ran away.
To lure her back, her previous owners brought her brother, Obi.
We decided to keep him, too.

Until 3 days later, when we realized the fencing options we were counting on weren't going to work.
And we took them back to their previous home.

As Tim says, "We doubled down when we should have folded."
I need practice following Kenny Roger's advice in farming and in life.

You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done
