Awww...so sorry Mt_Rider.
I remember sharing notes when you got Big Dog and I had Gracie. Both of us trying to get them to quit barking. Since getting LGDs, I totally understand now--you CAN'T make them stop. LOL It's their JOB.
You will need another for defense purposes. Nothing like that first alert. Best protector and friend for you and your stock. I hope you find the PERFECT one for you and that it barks REAL LOUD!!
(We need a big slurpy, barky, LGD character here.)
...there are some things that can beat smartness and foresight. Awkwardness and stupidity can. The best swordsman in the world doesn't need to fear the second best swordsman in the world; no, the person for him to be afraid of is some ignorant antagonist who has never had a sword in his hand before; he doesn't do the thing he ought to do, and so the expert isn't prepared for him.
LIVE YOUR LIFE IN SUCH A WAY, THAT WHEN YOUR FEET HIT THE FLOOR IN THE MORNING.....SATAN SHUDDERS AND SAYS: "OH SH*T!!!.....SHE'S AWAKE!"
