Smokey the cat seems to have made peace with the snow or seems to realize I can't make it go away and the pekes are staying in the house mostly and not playing in the snow.

They're fine, just baffled. LOL We have a high of 29 predicted today, but our real problem is ice. Hubby's Chief's rig is at the foot of the driveway because even if he could get it up the driveway, if there's a call then getting it down the driveway is a problem. Stopping by hitting trees isn't his preference.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06363532651622078445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-12446401479875371372013-12-08T09:24:57.932-08:002013-12-08T09:24:57.932-08:00Our field pond is like that now :) We took a walk ...Our field pond is like that now :) We took a walk there yesterday and used the ice for target practice.

That surprises me given you live in Idaho....in northern B.C, Canada, we're -40C and holding strong, although when it was -11C last night and lightly snowing I thought, 'Wow, look how warm and lovely it is!"

I'm wo...Hi Patrice, <br />Looks like a lovely walk.<br /> I'm wondering if you would write a post about dealing with your cattle in the cold weather. Are they inside the barn? How do you keep their water from freezing, How much 'extra' feed do you give them? Do you feed grain? Stay warm and May your Christmas be blessed.

This evening there's a clear, beautiful sky if you can stand to be out there to look at it. The stars are radiant and close feeling and the air is strikingly sweet and fresh. <br /><br />I'd been wondering about Major. Sounds like he's doing ok, all things considered. Our dear old hound/chow cross just passed away and left a great void. I have a close friend with two working GPs and the same kind of sheep as we have. They're both great gentlemen, and it's a good thing since either one would stand a head taller than Lydia. But again, they're working dogs who stay out at night and keep away coyotes and bobcats and mountain lions. There are no pictures of them outgrowing their beloved wood frame rocking chair. lol But they are dear, sweet dogs and exactly in their element. I think I'd like to have one, or a breed like it. I've met some wonderful Burmese Mountain dogs that were a joy to have in the house and holy terrors to any critter threats outdoors. Is Lydia diurnal? It seems like I read they'll adapt to their family's sleep cycle if they're raised in the house. Is she a good watchdog? <br /><br />Both of my friend's dogs were really calm and smart pups like Lydia was. That's a huge plus. <br /><br />A.McSp<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
