SO, the Pyrs would not stop barking last night and it turned out they were just doing their jobs. I was out at 2 a.m. reminding 3 sheep which gate they need to use to get out of the yard now. We shut the gate into the barn and opened the one on the driveway for them. That is their path to the hay in the driveway now. I always go out when I hear a sheep crying at night. The three girls were standing at the old gate, staring over into the pasture at their friends. Who were munching and sleeping, ignoring them. I thought they were 'lost' so I walked out to the other gate and they ignored me. Walked over behind them and they walked right on out the gate like good little sheep. Stinkers. They just didn't want to walk home in the dark. Need to get them some miner lights I guess?
Was so tempted to just open the barn gate and let them in. Then I remembered if I do that once, I will be out there at 2 a.m. every night for the foreseeable future. The llamas and alpacas were sounding off when I went out too. There were no signs of coyotes so I will translate that as 'shut the heck UP over there.' They are so funny!
PS- the sky was so clear and the stars were beautiful!
