Keeping Warm

Well, this has been a distinctly un-fun few days.  With a high temp of -5 and 40-50 mph winds, even the psycho puppy has been feeling the chill.  His Frisbee got caught in the wind and is likely somewhere in the next county by now and poor Connor got blown right over chasing it.  He is opting to stay warm and we have a new frisbee on the shopping list.

I took this picture of Ramsey two days ago and I am fairly sure it was the last time he so much as poked his nose out of the barn.  Given the way the Hell-Wind has been blowing up here, I don't blame him. 

He made a half-hearted attempt to organize his toys... 

Then gave it up for a lost cause and headed back in. 

For anyone worried about the poor, poor kitty-kat....she has a hay fort in the shed and I gave her one of my old bee hive boxes and filled it with an entire sheep fleece. 

We all know how cats feel about boxes, fluffy wool and hay.  Kipper is perfectly warm and happy.

She is far happier than Farm Buddy who's pipes have all frozen in her house.  Fortunately, the barn has a seperate well and, with much work, worry and effort, those pipes are now working.  Hauling water for all those cows, sheep, chickens, pigs and a llama is not a fun job.  I guess we need to put a box around FB's house and fill it with wool. 

Or we should all move to a warmer climate.
