This is Toby. He is our farm manager :) He is also our chicken wrangler and absolutely will not allow birds outside of the chicken yard. Toby is our house pet and lap dog. His favorite thing to do when he's not running all over the farm keeping everyone in line is to sit in Chuck's lap and play with a chewy toy :)

This is Jack, Toby's younger brother :) Toby was always in Chuck's lap so I wanted a lap dog too :) Jack was my Christmas present. He's my buddy ;)

This is Zeb. He is 1/2 Great Pyrenees, 1/2 Anatolian Shepherd. What a dog :) This guy once saved a newborn goat kid by putting him in his doghouse and laying beside him for warmth. The baby was born in the middle of one of the coldest January nights that winter. Zeb has zero tolerance for predators in his domain. I've seen him grab and kill a snake in the blink of an eye... At the same time he's as gentle as a lamb with his goats and his people :) We love him dearly and appreciate the security he provides.

Sheba is a Great Pyrenees. She's the first LGD we added to our family back when we moved here to the farm. Sheba does her job with grace and dignity. She is completely in love with Zeb and he with her :) They are both altered now but they are still inseparable. Zeb and Sheba had 3 litters of pups together before we retired them from parental responsibility. Sheba is great with new kids. It's a very common sight to see her sleeping and a kid or two or three hopping on and off her as if she were there simply for their amusement ;)
