My girl was a rescue, she’s a Staffordshire Terrier / Ridgeback and she’s the best, super sweet and smart, unless you’re a rodent. She’s a squirrel slayer, which is amazing as ground squirrels raided my gardens my first year at my home. She protects the chickens and keeps the compost rodent free and protects out lil homestead. I mostly work from home but I think that’s about change next month, she’ll be fine. I wake up early and we walk along the river every morning no matter the weather.
