Years ago I had a set of Maremma/Akbash Livestock dogs 2 females. They assisted with deliveries of goats. They would pull babies and placentas. At that time I had more goats than you do. These dogs are amazing and clean everything up. One of these dogs I caught with a dead baby trying to revive it. I have come to realize after 30+ years with dairy goats to ALWAYS give your Livestock Dogs the benefit of the doubt. I am currently on my 4th set of Livestock Dogs.
Thank you! This is what I believe happened too! Love your input! ❤❤❤
That's really cool! Hadn't heard of than doing that!
This is so insightful ! Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge !
Absolutely
Wow
Your goat dogs will clean everything up to keep predators away. Nature is an amazing thing.
Sooo , in addition to Inoli being a Livestock Guardian Dog and a Hospice comforter , she has added Doula to her resume !
What an amazing girl !!! She seems to have stepped into the Farm Chief role seamlessly . I hope the new furry boys pick up all the wonderful abilities of service of those who went before them . Sending you and yours grandma hugs and love !
:)
I agree with this! Great job, Enoli!
Agreed!! ❤️💯
We lost a baby this year to an attack by an owl. Our male Pyrenees intercepted the baby midair and unfortunately the talon killed the baby. He proceeded to clean the baby as if it was still alive and also clean the mother. I think you are right on track on what happened.
Wow
Enoli protected the mama. Knew she was in trouble. Great testimony of love ! She did what she could to help ❤
Her instincts kicked in and she cleaned the babies like they were her puppies
What a miracle!! I agree with James, stillborns. I believe if she had not helped Moma goat would of died. She saved her life! She is a true hero! She kept the babies away from the flock because otherwise it would of drawn predators. She did what she could to protect the rest of the flock.
Enoli helped save the mama by getting the (possible) stillborn baby out of her. Enoli’s own mama instincts kicked in, to help the goat mama. ❤️
My thoughts also
Same thoughts as well
My thoughts as well.
I agree!
I watch another homesteading channel & have watched their life stock guardian dog do exactly what you’re talking about. It’s always the female that does it. They clean everything up to keep the sent from drawing predators
Yep
Dogs will clean themselves and their puppies. In fact, I’ve known them to clean stray cats. But I have never heard of a regular dog trying to hurt any type of baby, especially one like Enoli, who is raised to protect these animals. They will give their lives to protect the lambs, so I would never think they would do otherwise. Enoli did what she was trained, and her instincts told her what to do. Help the mama, then clean up after, including the babies and the mama. You can relax Enoli is doing her job.
Enolic was doing her job. She was protecting mama and caring for the babies. Pyrenees are not called GREAT for nothing!
I think you're right Patara. She saw mamma goat in distress and was trying to help her.
Enoli helped the stressed out mama. I feel it in my heart!
Sounds like her love and dedication to mama and the babies is what took place here. What a great loving dog.
She knew exactly what you would've done, and since you were there, she stepped in. They watch and learn just like we do. I'm sorry for your losses, and so happy you have an amazing helper!
Enoli helped the stressed out mama. I feel it in my heart
I would never doubt that she was helping. Our Blue Heeler is amazing. She walks with the chickens in the barn & sleeps with the cats. I started to black out one day and Remi came behind me to support my legs. She has never been trained to be a support dog but she did exactly what she was supposed to do. They're unbelievable.
Heelers are beyond outstanding💙
We’ve had goats and Pyrs for 6 years. I agree with your assessment. Pyrs won’t hurt goatlings. Mine cry with excitement and joy when my goats kid.
I totally agree with you. Those are her babies and to hear her goat crying in pain …. She’s the protector and she did her job
Hello Patara glad to see you this morning wanted to share my 30 yr old son had to make the decision putting their dog down he had him since he was 17. It just happened July 2nd and he was devastated as a mother I put all my feelings aside and was his rock. As of today July 6th he is doing a bit better as I told him the pain will ease will not go away but will get better. He has to remember he has given that dog the best life and he is not in pain anymore! Thank you Patara correct prayers and support helps alot!!! God is good!!
Hugs and prayers for your son
Grateful you ARE his Rock. He is loved like he loved his puppy. ❤
Enoli was protecting one of her flocks. The mama was in pain, distressed, and Enoli was helping the mama. Enoli did what needed to be done to save the goat mama.
Enoli being female did what needed to be done. As one other said, she has stepped up to fill the role of Chief since Cochise's passing. These dogs are amazing. And God will bless you for being so attentive to your grandma. I pray millions more families do this for their elders instead of putting them in a nursing home.
To Enoli, those are her babies too. She cleaned those babies and loved on them and tried to help the mama.
You know your dog..you know your goats....trust your instincts. Ive had goats for over 40 years....I dont see it as an act of aggression....but of love and concern for the flock.❤❤❤❤
We have had Great Pyrenees for many years, they don't attack what they protect. They are highly intelligent and she sensed the doe was in trouble and her instincts kicked in and she knew she needed to do something to save mom and the babies. And they are know for cleaning up goat babies and even other dogs puppies as well as kittens. They are Gentle Giants...unless something or someone threatens what they love and protect, they will die to protect. I've had one when one of my dogs needed a c-section complete care for the new borns, cleaning and keeping them warm until mama was able to care for them. More than likely she saved your doe's life. And took care of her until she was able to get back on her feet. This has been my experience over many years of owning Great Pyrenees.
Your thought about Enoli helping a distressed mama goat makes sense. I’m going with that! Thank you for sharing ALL that you do on your beautiful, peaceful homestead ❤
About being graphic....Neither nature nor farms are Disney movies. It is good for us all to be aware of real life before we personally come across real life. Being overly sheltered is often not a good thing in the end.
The fact that the kid looked like it had been pulled, was completely clean, not injured in any way, tells me you’re correct. Inoli is a natural born midwife. You, sweet lady, are serendipitously blessed. So sad for Pepper.
My dog did the same thing, the vet told me if she hadn’t pulled the baby out the momma goat would have died. That baby goat autopsy showed that it was still born, so the dog did not cause her death. It’s just it died and got stuck thank God she was there and save the mother‘s life , that mother goat is now ia mother to 12other Goats
What a sweet dog you have who has such compassion for his goat in distress. Add midwife/husband to his list of accomplishments ❤️
She could have eaten them and didn't, but cleaned them up. I'm no farmer, but I'm convinced that she was helping, too. Amazing girl. 🐾
Wow…you should be keeping a journal for future generations. The stories you have to tell.
She has 10 years of daily videos for her children and grandchildren. ❤
IMHO, I believe that if one kid was half formed, it's likely there was something wrong with the pregnancy to begin with. The second one was most likely stillborn as well.
I had a beagle that always helped the cats give birth..she helped pull a few out, she cleaned them and pushed them to their mama..and she did help mama clean up too..she even tried to help nurse a couple ..animals are amazing 😊
I agree with you. Enoli protects the goats so I would think her natural instincts would want her to help her charge out of stress. She's a good dog. Bless y'all.
I believe mama goat was in distress and Enoli helped. She is a good dog. ❤
In 1969, I was 11 and witnessed a neighbor's mare have a miscarriage. The foal was completely formed, hairless and tiny. It was shocking !
Thank you Patara for sharing your wisdom and encouragement with us.
What you're saying makes perfect sense. She (Inoli) realized there was a problem and did what she thought would help the mama goat in distress and tried to save and protect the baby goat in hopes that it would survive.
Patara I believe your theory about Inoli is correct. There’s no other possible explanation. What a good dog🥰
So sorry about the babies!
Having had Pyrenees and goats, I believe your scenario is correct. They are natural guardians and natural nurses.
I agree with you and James. Enoli was just being a good mama and a good guardian.
Tears. But thankful for the dog. God is good all the time❤
Count your Blessings Patara . INOLI is an AMAZING GIFT !!🐶🐶🐶🐶
Even before you finished the story I assumed Anoli tried to help. It’s the only logical answer. She seems like an amazing girl just trying to save her fam. She has watched you do this many times I’m sure. God bless your babies.
I agree with you, Patara. I think that Inoli was helping and cleaned up afterwards to keep predators away. I agree with James that both babies were stillborn. If Inoli had any kind of aggression towards her pack, she would have shown it before now. Her mama instincts came out and Inoli was taking care of her pack. Sad to lose two babies.
I believe , because of the death of the other guardian, this one is hyper vigilant right now. Not malicious. Just trying to protect. Knew mom was in distress and tried to help.
😢
You may want to put up a few cameras around the farm. Simplisafe is so easy to install.
Awwww. Mother Nature takes care of itself. Animals are the best at taking care of each other.
We lost a hen to the heat in west Tennessee yesterday. So sad. I give them as much shade as I can and plenty of water. We lost one last year for the same reason.😢
Good thing the momma didn't die as well. Anoli may have saved her life ❤
Good Morning Everyone !
One of my goats had triplets and abandoned one where she dropped it. Our sheepdog took it as her own. She had it dried off and had it up walking leaning on her every step of the way when I went out to check. She’d started towards the house with it.
I honestly think Enoli was trying to help. I have witnessed this personally, just not with livestock. We had a cat once that was in distress and my German shepherd/husky mix was actually trying to help deliver the kitten. I wouldn't be too distressed over it. I think you have a GLD that is so invested in 'her' herd that did what she could. God Bless you and your family.
I've raised goats and a good herd dog will help mamas who have problems. Your dog did great. She is a keeper.
Enoli jumped in to help her friend. Loving dog. Amazing.
I am so touched the love enoli has for her family that she would help the momma goat in this way ,my heart is so full from hearing this story I started to cry.
I hear you, sister. Beautiful story - and makes me wonder if we humans can embrace the miracle of motherly/womenly love again
😢
Knowing LGD's (have 3) i'd say it was a stressed birth with the heat and she was trying to help. They will clean up the evidence to keep predators away too. As you said keep eye on her. But I honestly think she was trying to help because you were not there too. They are amazing dogs.
Amazing thanks for sharing. I believe she knew that y’all weren’t around to help and that she had to help the mama. And clean up them both to make sure no predators came for them till you got back to check. She was helping mama and babies for sure.
Remember Patera that before Cochise passed he attacked a goat. Completely out of character for him. Enoli maybe combination of the heat, loss of Cochise, altered mental status?
I am so sorry. Thanks for showing us the joys and sorrows of loving livestock and guardian/companion animals.
If the goat Cochise went after was Pepper, Cochise knew something was amiss. But...head scratcher..
Yes. Or maybe Cochise is training Enoli from the other side
Patera, I think that Enoli did just exactly what any dog in her position should do.
Well, especially since she was chosen by you and God for such a time.
God bless Mama Goat and the angel kids.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Special farm, special animals.
Prayers for all of you. But i think you have a hero on your farm. Inoli is a true protector of those she is called to care for. You are blessed with some winderful animals that are family like any child would be. 😊
So peaceful, peace and blessings Patara 🕊️❤️🕊️
I completely agree, she was being a nurse and mommy.
I don't have a farm or any animals, but I agree with you about Enoli and the kids. She loves them and was doing her job with love🐕❤
How does the mama goat act around Enoli (sp) today? I would love to know that.
Lovely animals, it's great to see the love you give them, and how they respond. 💕
Unrelated, Daffodil looks 100% better then when you got her. You don't see all her knobbly bones, and there is a calm in her now. That is a testament to all of you on the farm.
I think she was helping momma. And trying to help the babies cause they weren't doing anything. Shes a nanny dog to all the goats. Keep a eye on her but i dont think shes going to hurt any of them. ❤
My first thought l immediately, was that your dog (spelling of her name??? Sorry, I don’t know how to spell her name) helped your goat Pepper. Dogs will do amazing things in times of trouble/stress. I believe you are correct, Patera! Bless your farm…❤🙏
She knew you were gone and she knew she had to help.She knew she was a part of the family who works the farm.I love the instincts of animals.I don't live on a farm but have had lots of dogs and cats. Will keep praying. Much love from hot Oklahoma!
I think she saved that momma goats life by getting that baby goat out.
Good morning! Love and hugs comin your way!
I am sorry for the loss of two babies. Listening to your story. I agree with you. Dogs are so loyal and care givers, so why not? I have no goat knowledge. Love your strength... Thank you
I have seen dogs clean hanging afterbirth of horses. It is very possible Enoli did her best to helpPepper deliver the kids & clean up.
Don't blame yourself! Need a camera so you can monitor fields if you leave!
It really is a Beautiful testament of the kindness, devotion and Love you've given to Enoli Patera and another way for her to return to you that LOVE.!! 🦋
That's a great dog helping out momma goat.❤
I agree with you 💯 %. I believe she was doing nothing more than helping out the distressed momma. An amazing girl. Thank you for sharing.
Do you ever think of cameras on your farm , so you can keep an eye when you are gone , I have cameras on my goats. And one time I went into town for the day about 100 miles from home, and checked my goat cam and sure enough one of my young goats was stuck in a feeder upside down about to break his neck, I called a friend that lived close to go over as quick as possible and rescue him , thankfully she did , but if I would not had that camera, I surely would have came home to a dead animal.
Your videos bring me such joy. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Good Morning & HaPpY Saturday!
Animals are amazing. Enoli is an awesome care taker. You are very blessed to have her, in every situation.
Love hearing and would rather hear the news of the farm... better then the rest of the world... your farm news is pure truth...
Hi all. I hope everyone has a blessed day ❤
Since the Momma goat is in good and clean shape I’m not leaning toward toxicity issues for the babies.
If it’s a “helping “ situation by Enolie maybe her motherly instincts kicked in and she tried to her best for the babies. Trust your gut and keep watch on the Momma. Trust your puppy.
Such happy and loved critters. ❤❤
Good Morning All Having a Blessed day
💯 believe she helped & might’ve even saved the momma’s life, if it was stuck. In her way, she was doing what she knew you would do, had you been there. Ty for sharing! My angels have hooves & paws yall! God be with yall! Your sister in Christ, near Nashville, in beautiful (but sweltering 🥵) TN! ✝️🙏🏼✌️🥰🇺🇸
If you have cameras maybe the footage would be there of what happened. You always give 100% to your farm and animals. You have taught me so much,I appreciate you.❤️
Good morning, Thomas the handsome chicken and Miss Peggy and Patsy ♥️🐐
These pups are smart from the get-go. You can testify to this. "Her" instincts kicked in. 🐾🐾🐾🐾♥️♥️♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I think I'm going with what you said. Enoli was protecting that momma, she knew those babies were not viable. She's an amazing guard, farm dog. She's been trained well.
Good morning! Still no rain here😢!! Anyone else going through a drought?
Yes, so west SC.
Ours is about to be relieved for a bit with rain coming in from the hurricane.
Yes--mid-central TN😢
Rained buckets in central Mass last evening . Wish I could have sent you some .
Eastern VA
Enjoyed you sharing this story. It took away the thoughts of this 'Ole world's mess.
I think you are absolutely correct Patara.❤️🙏
Wow…I don’t know anything about these dogs, but this is truly amazing to me! Surely there is a God to have fashioned such an animal! I’m sure you’re right.
100% FACT !!
WOW!! Inoli is moving right into the lead💜
I think your right...Isn't that amazing she knew what to do.❤
Good morning everyone! Waiting on rain in NC! Stay cool everyone!
good luck, and stay cool as possible heard on the weather that it will be above the 111 heat index mark for you all today, I am in Florida frying and boiling right with you.
@ramonajolley 1966 Good morning neighbor!❤ NC here also waiting on more rain.
The pup was doing her job. Perfect animal. Learned with them.
