On their ranch the biggest villians are Black Vultures and the always pesky Coyote. A working Kangal on duty will station itself on a high vantage point overlooking its flock. On hot days, the dog will dig itself a hollow in the ground to keep cool. Novices learn by staying close to older dogs. The dogs will work in pairs or teams depending on the size of the flock, taking up positions around the sheep and changing their positions as needed. The intensity of their patrols around the sheep increases at nightfall.

Hey Dog Lover 🐾

Ever have one of those weeks where everything feels a little too much—and you’re still trying to be everything your animals need?

In this unscripted, from-the-heart episode, I’m showing up real and raw to talk about the emotional side of living with animals. It wasn’t the episode I planned, but it’s the one that needed to be shared.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stretched thin, or like you’re failing at this whole “dog mom” thing… this one’s for you.

Hope you enjoy this one.
