If you ever get a Great Pyrenees know they don’t fetch. They don’t retrieve. If you throw a ball, they’ll look at you like “well that was stupid. Now you have to go get it.” They’re bred to go on a hilltop with sheep and watch them alone for days. So they expect that you trust them to make their own decisions. They enjoy sitting and observing, and patrolling. Then more observing. Then more patrolling. They like to sleep in places where they can see everything.

My step dad had an outpatient procedure yesterday, and the recovery was a bit more than expected so my mom asked if we’d take their dog “Daisy” (aka Tricky-woo) for a couple of days. Daisy has a slightly different lifestyle when she’s vacationing at the farm. Our little Great Pyrenees puppy, Bessie, is now bigger than the miniature golden-doodle, Daisy. Bessie doesn’t play fetch, but she does like chasing Daisy when she plays fetch, and steal the ball from her.
