Rosie takes her job very seriously.
She herds the goats just where she wants them to go.
This incredible to me. She is herding them where there is brush that needs to be eaten down. 
Once she gets them down where she wants them she poses for the camera. Side shot.
Front shot…..Hi Mom.
Since this is not video I will substitute sound….. BHAAAAA. Do you see the goat ears flying? It is not easy to get Cinder (black with the flying white ears) to mind or move. For Rosie, no problem. I have a feeling the goats have learned a lesson or two from their guardian angel.
Now she has got them up on the flat ridge. She is an awesome presence to the goats. They don’t dare cross her.
While the goats munch down….
Rosie gets a few munchies in too. Yum, buck brush.
The buck brush has not started blooming yet but the goats don’t care. To them it is a delicacy. Sorel says if it is green I will try it.
Dublin likes to get the stuff way up high.
It must be a super delicacy to him. The stuff on the bottom is much easier to get to. I think the goat in him just wants to jump to the top.
Sweet Pea samples some manzanita. In the summer and spring she would not be caught dead eating manzanita. But at the end of winter early spring ya gotta take what you can get.
Until some bossy donkey comes and drives us off of it. Goat ears flying again……
Rosie is not kidding. It is time to get off the mountain.
Rosie says……..”Don’t get in my way……
……danger lurks in these here hills and I have to be on the lookout.”
Did I tell you Rosie takes her job very seriously?
Adios Amigos!!

She keeps her wild instincts and is always very mindful what is going on. And when she is feeling comfortable will accept a big long neck hug. If you have never hugged a donkey you don’t know what you are missing.

I have a feeling that it might be just a matter of time before Rosie is herding all the humans on the Sundog Ranch. That girl is in charge!

Oh yes you are right. When we go somewhere together, the goats and all, especially if food is involved, I use a special “get out of my space” stick. It does not take much though, she remembers very quickly “Who is the Boss” 🙂

Your posts are dangerous! Not only do you have me mooning over beautiful, pale golden puppies, but now I’m fairly sure I need goats AND a donkey. Probably we should just keep this all a secret from my husband for now! 😉

LOL you are right. If you don’t have coyotes and mountain lions around you don’t need a donkey. Unless that is you what the most favorite animal on almost any farm.

First comes the cart (land and goats) then the burro (horse). 🙂 It has been a wonderful training experience to tame her. This year I have to work on more stuff like tying and standing and then trailering. My dream is to some day teach her to drive a cart…yeah in my spare time.
