Bullfrog, sorry about your dog, it sucks to lose one.
I was in the garage early this AM and got rid of a few cans of junk taking space (trash came today due to the holiday), and tried to reorganize somewhat.

Not that familiar with a Great Pyrenees. Can they handle Florida weather? Apparently they can, as many of the farms in north and north-central have them. I don’t see how. They have one of the thickest coats of any dog I’ve seen. The mix I’m looking at is a 50/50 cross between a Pyrenees and an Australian shepard.

With all your farm animal contacts, I’m thinking finding the next one will happen. Might need to be patient though.

Like my Neighbor a Dog Hunter with about 15 of them told me as I was feeling bad about losing my old dog.. Next dog you get will be the best one you ever had. He was right..Sometimes that old Woodsman Lore is right.. I don’t really morn her loss. I loved her, but she was so old I lost track of her age and she lived a good life. I don’t usually morn one that lived past its prime. My bulldogs are young and fit. The little white female is our inside/outside companion dog I more lament the loss of the utility. The hound was darn good at her job. I like the looks of the mix we’re considering, but I’m puckered over how much training its going to take to keep her from killing chickens. Livestock guardian dogs are known to be terrible poultry killers until they’re about a year old, then they reverse and become good protectors of the same. You may remember I had a catahoula I was ready to shoot for killing chickens at 6 months old and I couldn’t break her at all. I sent her off farm for a year and when I brought her back she was perfect. The only reason I rehomed her is because she was leading the entire pack of dogs deep into the woods and it would be just a matter of time before she got them all poisoned or shot. I gave her to a cousin. Now that’s a dog I miss if I think about it. This pup has been started with poultry, with geese being used to haze it. But it may quickly learn my chickens don’t bite like geese.

Got up early to mow and edge the lawn, weed the garden, and collapse from the heat.

Started out running the dogs on hogs...... Frustrating and hot. Got one big sow but the other two we got on escaped. The last one was running with the sow and we saw it twice.....3 miles apart.....pulled the one one dog that was on it when it crossed the road at the 3 mile mark and set a fresh ( Sort of. ) one out which we ultimately had to go get.
Made a drag from a old gate and a piling and then went and drug out about 3/4 of a mile of road that got messed up by the timber crew a couple of weeks ago.
Took a nap.
Split the rest of the wood from the other day.
And then followed instructions, because it is not acceptable for the front gate area to look "like nobody cares" ( She is pushy at times! ) by loading up the lawn mower and running up to the north main gate.
And.....as it would "take only a few minuets" hauled a couple of sprayers of herbicide along with the mower so we could address some invasives....climbing fern and tropical soda apple....
Hopefully she's going to let me eat leftovers and have a couple of adult beverages in peace......now......

You are the hardest working elderly person that I have heard of. At least you know how to enjoy some adult beverages.😉

I break a sweat just reading about his day Not like me, he seems to enjoy his work and all the different things he does. And still finds time to go shrimping, crabbing and go fishing. I wish I had his get up and go.
