Shadow is a male lab, probably a mix because he's small. He does have a good temperament usually and the vet commented on that. Maggie is a female great pyrenees and also seems very calm most of the time. But both dogs are adoptions and that leaves a question about what they've been through and how that impacts on them now. They do seem very jealous of each other. It may take time having them look at each other on opposite sides of the fence until they start wanting to be together.
It was funny yesterday when I played fetch with Shadow which he LOVES. She tried to play, but really can't run as fast and can't get the ball very well. When she did get the ball, she ran off and kept it away from us until I caught her and took it away. It drove Shadow nuts that she did that.
He, on the other hand, would retrieve the ball and run straight for the door, trying to convince me that I should let him out of the pasture so he could go back in the house.

You have your hands full, and you're right, who knows how they've been treated in the past. Poor things. How does Maggie do with the goats?
