Last year around Halloween my livestock guardian dog, a Great Pyrenees/Maremma named Ragnar Hairybreeks, disappeared.

On a farm walk with my new tenant/caretakers, to the very back corner where we don't often go, we found Ragnar's remains. Not far away from the spot, somebody had chopped branches out of one of my pine trees and scars on the trunk indicated that they had used it for a hunting stand.

It looks like Rags went down to see who was trespassing and was shot for doing his job. Welcome again to the bucolic farm life.

Rags was a difficult dog, aloof on the side of autistic. He taught me an enormous amount about loving with open arms and I'm finding myself grieving his loss all over again.

Tomorrow we're going back to build a bonfire on the spot and howl him to dog Valhallah with the eclipse.

I wish they'd left the stand. It would be sooooo trashed.
