Meanwhile, at the FTX Polycule...

Twenty-month-old Great Pyrenese defends sheep flock from pack of eleven coyotes, killing eight of the coyotes in heroic stand.

When stacked up against a pack of 11 coyotes looking for blood, the expectation of a dog overcoming the odds to defeat them all seems insurmountable. Little did these coyotes know they were up against Casper.
Despite being only a 20-month-old Great Pyrenees, the livestock herding dog at a home in Decatur displayed his heroic actions by protecting a herd of sheep last month.
It all started in the cul de sac around 9 p.m. on Nov. 3 when a few coyotes came near the house. John Wierwille, the homeowner and Casper's owner, said that he was able to turn them away by throwing a few rocks in their direction and yelling at them to go away.
However, the coyotes were not done. Around 2:30 a.m., Wierwille said he was awakened by the dogs barking and went outside to see his two dogs, Casper and Daisy, backing the sheep up in the corner in order to keep them safe.
...
Wierwille describes the moment Casper sprang into action, as he charged into the middle of the pack in a scrum between the animals that lasted roughly 30 minutes. After killing a few coyotes in the initial action, Wierwille said that Casper continued to fight.
After the coyotes jumped out of the fence, they split up and ran different ways. The undeterred Casper chased them down outside of the fence line, where another fight led to him killing a few more down an embankment to the creek that borders their home, Wierwille said. He lost sight of Casper and couldn't find him anymore.
Casper killed eight coyotes, but it was his disappearance that concerned the owner more.

Vets had to scramble to save his life.

The team at LifeLine has been helping the dog, Casper, rehab following the incident which happened about a month ago. They described the harrowing situation as the dog, just 20 months old, was left with serious wounds to his back and neck.
Casper also lost his tail in the attack, the vet said, and wasn't found after the attack for two days. He was only found when he somehow made his way home two days later, popping his head up out of the chicken hutch.
"He looked like death, I mean he looked terrible," his owner John Wierwille said. "He came back home and he just kind of looked at me like, 'boss stop looking at how bad I look, just take care of me.'"
Dr. Brosman, the vet, said Casper's survival was a "miracle." But now, she said, his prognosis is "good for a full recovery."
"He's a hero for sure," Dr. Brosman said, adding that she had seen attack wounds before, but never anything this severe.

9 Casper deserves a few nice juicy steaks or muttonchops. Just a baby, as far as Great Pyrenees go, too. They get way bigger than that.

Snow: if anyone wants some, we'll be glad to send you all you want. 32" on the ground at Chez Borgia, with 4-8" more expected tonight.

Willowed:

I hope someone is checking Sam "Killer Klown" Brinton's crawlspace to make sure there aren't any bodies and/or prisoners he was planning on making into a "woman suit" down there. Most trannies are just kinda ugly and sad, but that dude is one creepy-looking mofo, even without his makeup.

My Grandpa kept sheep on his ranch, and used pyrs for guards, and collies to herd.

Now that my uncle has the ranch, and raises cattle, I think they just have the collies. Beef cows don't really seem to need guarding the way sheep do.

74 Pyrs are great dogs. I've got a brother and sister pair.

The brother lives in the woods around the property and only comes around when I feed.

The sister is gentle as could be and sleeps on the front porch. At night, I hear him barking in the woods and she will answer by barking back. I can't swear to it, because I don't speak doggish, but I think they are coordinating where they are located for guarding, because if he barks from one end of the property, she'll work her way to the other end away from him.

Very peculiar. I haven't lost a chicken since I got them. and if I have to go round one of the chickens up at night to get it in the coop and it starts that panic-clucking, one of the Pyrs will show up out of nowhere.

I read they do best by letting them simply wander the grounds and attack anything that looks like it might be a threat or like food, which is pretty much everything. They are protective of their family and very brave and strong, just not very good house dogs.

Depends on the size of his spread and whether it's an actual farm or a hobby farm. Generally on a working farm/ranch it's not like you look out your front door and are able to survey all the goings on. Odds are the owners were off doing farm type stuff which is what you do from sun up to sun down. Good boy Casper!

I have been blessed with having a few dogs that should have been once in a lifetime dogs. We lost our German Shorthair Pointer (Faust) 2 years ago at 15. What a dog he was, he was uncannily smart. When my Sabi cat was a tiny baby, my big cat got really sick with kidney issues. He just didn’t have it in him to raise a kitten while he was sick, so Faust stepped in and did it. You could just see it on his old face “Well someone has to raise this thing. Guess it’s me.” He tolerated his little nub tail being pounced, his ears, his food stolen. They cuddled in sunbeams. He gave the kitten a good WOOF! only one time when he got his lip bitten a little too hard. It never happened again!

D*mn it, that's misuse of the word scrum. A scrum is an orderly method to get the ball back in play after an unintentional violation of one of the laws of rugby.

If the players (or canines, in this instance) are on their feet, it's a maul. If the ball carrier is on the ground, it's a ruck.

The latter is the genesis of the phrase "Rugby is rucking fun."

150 I have a small flock of sheep and until recently, a Great Pyr and a Pyr/Anatolian Shepard pair. I can attest to the indifference of both to following commands. They operate entirely on hardwiring. 100% dedicated to their sheep, and me. The male, Gibbs, got out of the pasture once and I found him in the neighbor’s pasture next door, just lying there, surrounded by about a dozen calves. He just decided to guard them that day. The cows were fine with it. I lost Sophie last year to old age (13) but Gibbs is still walking his post with his little flock of six. If all hell breaks loose in the middle of the night, I’ve been known to jump on my ATV in Crocks and my pajamas with my trusty .38 and a cheater bar and race to the back of the pasture to join Gibbs at the fence to yell at the coyotes. It’s humbling to know a dog that would literally give his life protecting us. It’s my job to make sure he doesn’t end up in that position. It’s crossed my mind that Casper needs to come live with us…

The Hyksos seem to roughly line up and be relatively easy to reconcile with the Biblical narrative. If following the decline of Hyksos rule(which need not be official Pharoahdom and reconciles modern disputes about the location of a capitol vs the ancient record) the remaining population was largely subjugated, departing at a later date. Avaris could be Pi-Ramesses, identified as Rameses in the Bible. Avaris being the old Hyksos "capitol" is therefore highly symbolic.

You are right about Cavs, because their sole purpose in life is to be a pet. That is what they were bred to be, and they are super cute. They are not exactly the brightest, but sweet! Beagles are high energy and as a scent hound will take off toward whatever interesting scent they find, off leash is a gamble. They also make a lot of noise. But they are very, very sweet.

Basset hounds are not high energy scent hounds, though, and no one could think a basset is ugly! Maybe a howl or 2, but who amongst us is immune to a little howl here or there?

196 Thanks for the link Vitigator. It's something I should consider. I haven't seen any wolf sign in my immediate area yet but neighbors on the other side of the timber company property across the street have had incidents with their livestock. About 3 miles as the wolf wanders. Washington game department was doing a study on predation effects on the local deer, elk and moose populations this summer. They apparently have been monitoring 14 wolves but they don't consider them an established pack. We've had wolf sightings in our area for about 6 years so I think the state can get screwed on their no established pack

Posted by: Sock Monkey * Ungovernable at December 14, 2022 09:04 PM (BWdYC)

197 I read the first article on Casper and my heart broke. I couldn’t imagine one of my dogs in a fight like that and not at least attempting to shoot some of them. From the article, some were inside the paddock fence and some were not so they weren’t all stacked together. He might have even driven them away if he’d unloaded on a couple. Thing is, panic causes people to freeze and unless the guy had gamed that kind of scenario ahead of time, he really may have been completely unprepared for what happened. There was a second dog, a female, and she pushed the sheep back and did not engage the coyotes. I’ve seen my dogs do something similar when strangers approach our gate. Gibbs would go out to confront and Sophie would move the sheep and then watch from a middle distance between the sheep and Gibbs. It was kind of amazing to see them work together. Here’s a link to a video on livestock dogs that is pretty informative. https://tinyurl.com/smct9hvj

I could hear her so I homed in on the barking, and I found her across the road down by the lake. I couldn’t see well enough to get her foot out and had nothing to cut the wire but the trap was anchored to a small tree and I broke it off and loaded Sophie, the tree and about 10 feet of wire into the Jeep, brought her home and got the damned thing open. Fortunately she didn’t lose her foot. I can’t imagine going to bed and waiting until daylight. That guy does not deserve that dog.

245 Fun fact: it is now safe to say, with evidence, that of the 7000+ twitter employees pre-Musk, approx 4500 were there ONLY to censor conservative commentors and conservative opinions.

Twitter was gonna lay off employees even before Elon took over.
But I guess they were planning to lay off the coders, and probably just off shore the coding.

Legal Insurrection. Florida cop during a night time traffic stop finds narcotics in the car. Even wearing gloves she got exposed and almost died, took three hits of NARCAN to save her.

251 Anna, was there ever a model for the TBD-1 Devastator? I know there's a couple for the TBF/TBM Avenger, but I don't know about its predecessor.

253 I could not get into Witch of Mercury because the main female lead is such an Tsukino Usagi airhead.

What's the other one you watching?

Muv Luv Alternative is about to hit episode 24.

256 Akiba Maid Wars, Reincarnated As a Sword, and the re-do of Urusei Yatsura have also been favored shows.

In 1/48 scale there is the venerable Monogram/Revell TBD-1 from I think 1968.

Then there is the newer Great Wall Hobby TBD-1 Devastator in 1/48. It comes in three boxings - torpedo equipped, bomb equipped, and finally the one TBD-1A float plane. The one I have is kit L4807 with the torpedo and VT-8 at Midway markings.

Original boxing had landing gear fully extended. L4807 has on sprue A compressed landing gear. Both the single .30 and twin .30 options are in kit. Along with the torpedo, get depth bombs and GP bombs.

Now the sticking point of any GWH boxing of VT-8 at Midway. They provide decals for Waldron's and Gay's planes. Both were attrition replacements which means the bombardier doors under the pilot are incorrect shape and have two too many arms plus the little fuselage windows at the pilot's feet were eliminated.

258 Why didn't the owner of Casper go get his gun and disperse those coyotes himself?

259 Don't have a subscription to the streaming service showing the new Urusei Yatsura. Akiba Maid War?

Crunchyroll has Yamato 2199, Solty Ray, and Earth SOS now.

263 I make more then $12,000 a month online. It’s enough to comfortably replace my old jobs income, especially considering I only work about 11 to 12 hours a week from home. I was amazed how easy it was after I tried it…

AND GOOD LUCK.
