Gandolf on Guard

Gandolf, owned by Guvener Isik and seen here guarding the animals at Shepherds Rest Farm, is the proud sire of the 8 puppies whose pictures most recently grace this blog.

Gandolf spends his days and nights protecting the goats . . .







and the chickens . . .

and his puppies (not shown here, but weaned now for several weeks) who are in an adjacent pen with some young goat kids. (The dam is off in another pasture guarding her own group of goats.)

The photographer is an 11-year-old, taking pictures from the puppy pen!
