In Honor of Buck

Buck, the valiant goat guard and all around good friend, died today. He was old (10), and it was hot (107). I guess his heart couldn't take it. I will miss his slobbering and hugs greatly.

Buck (the larger dog in the picture below) and Abby made a great team guarding the main goat herd and Maddy. I never worry when Maddy is with the dogs. Even after such a short acquaintance, Buck loved Maddy unconditionally.


We buried him in a place of honor in what will eventually be the Orchard. He can guard the trees. See you on the rainbow bridge, Buckers!
