Poor Lilly ... A couple days ago I had let Atia out of the upper sheep paddock.  I saw a tiny bit of blood on her shoulder.  So I went and surveyed the LGD's and got close enough to imagine i saw no blood or "drool" on Badger, Agrippa nor Lilly. ... Well, this morning I saw the hind-end of Lilly from a distance and saw the tell-tale, "ugly" fur ,  of a wound. Atia had senselessly attacked Lilly. I can say this with quite a bit of knowledge of Lilly's personality ... she imagines herself as about number 5 in the herd, nothing more and no desire to rise. She's a valuable LGD worker and always has been trustworthy amongst the other LGD's.

Seen in the picture is the back end of the battery-powered shearing machine I just used. There is a black leash laying over Lilly's back ...She is laying on her own right-side. The wound is generally upside of the tail-dock ... her head being to the left.

Lilly, again,  tangled with Atia. This time however, I had Zakat in the paddock with Atia to serve as her 'Champion'. Atia seems absolutely insecure/unwilling to defend/unwilling to challenge ??? Dunno, She may feel unable to defend in in light of her constant limping. However, I observed Bagari try to get Atia to fight and Atia stood perfectly Neutral. Really a good Neutral. Now, I have seen Lilly really make some rude gestures to Atia. recently, about two weeks ago, Lilly was clean-coat and Atia was dirt-trashed but no blood. Neither had blood. But Zakat was not in-paddock. Today Lilly is trashed. She is exceedingly 'Stunned' acting.  Lilly is a very good paddock guard. She was a very good mom too, back then. So the upshot is I have three females and can not put any of them in the same paddock.  Remember, these are working Girls.  They are not your typical down-bred-for city-dweller LGD's, which actually shouldn't be called pyrenees then because they are bred for docile and not to protect ... but that's my gripe with most breeders of LGD I have com into contact with.
