Our shepherds continue to have considerably more admirers than Moi! Perfect strangers smile at them and even some people that know me, don't smile at me.

How are you sinking the posts?
Ivan’s very shiny black coat always gets comments from people that see him. I ordered a dog seatbelt, harness, and a pair of wraparound blue mirror goggles for Ivan so we can go driving with the top down. They didn’t ship the goggles, which is the most important part to cover his eyes, but I have a feeling he’s going to look like quite the space cowboy driving around with me.
I decided for ease of installation I was going to go with the steel tee posts and I’ve been driving them into the ground with a slap hammer… lifting that hammer over her head and slamming it down. A dozen times on each post has done wonders for my poor rib cage and belly. I should’ve used posts made from wood and just hook the auger up to the tractor and drove down the property line, but that would take a lot of work, having to infill and pack the posts… i’ll be the first to admit that that little guy has changed my life and brought new joy and energy into Dutch’s life
 
We are thinking about getting a malinois as Betty went with our youngest to fix his coyote issue and I miss having a high drive dog around.
Because of my history with German Shepherds, I was offered a Mal that was imported from east Germany that the owner could not deal with because of his ball drive. I decided my sanity was worth more than having another wacko dog in my life… that is one breed of dog that needs somebody very competent to be its master or else the dog will be the master himself…
 
I will take those t-posts and slap hammer over a sharpshooter and post hole diggers , any day…
No doubt the tea posts are the easiest way to put a fence up but we were in the woods and had a nightmare trying to keep centers with the tree roots that got in the way. I also discovered more barbed wire laying on the ground that I thought I had gotten up. That stuff is a nightmare
