Dixie has been doing great! We've started to let her be amongst the animals through the day while they are in the paddock. We don't let them out into the pasture without supervision - we're both afraid she might jump the fence or crawl under a gate looking for us (which is something she has done already).
She like to lie up against one of the people gates, which is a good vantage point of the whole paddock.
The other fantastic habit of this girl is that she poos ON THE MANURE PILE! She goes up to the top and goes to the bathroom there if she hasn't gotten out to the pasture yet. It's amazing. There is NO dog poo in the paddock to clean up. She is the best counterpart to the alpaca herd as they all poo in one pile.
She likes to scout out the perimeter and then lie in the sun - as long as she is with the animals she is happy. She'll cry a bit if she misses us, but generally she only kicks up a fuss if she's tied outside and all the other animals go up into the barn.
So far this is working out so well.
