The snow they were forecasting came but it was only about 35 degrees so it was soupy on the ground. Not the crisp crunch stuff that isn’t so bad. When it stays warm none of the mud freezes so it’s kind of a mess. At least it was pretty for a while. We still have to take care of the creatures so I took some pictures.
It rained all last night. It sprinkled and misted most of today which kept the mud from drying out. We had to clean off the girls feet every time they came back inside.
Piper and Paige waiting in the mud room for their turn to get their feet cleaned.
We had to move the rabbits into the mower shed after the last wind storm destroyed Heather's bunny tent. It went down in the teens so they would have frozen without shelter.
Bunnies. Heather will have to give the names.
Daffodil got to come outside a lot today. Humans in a clump, how herd-like for her.
It was fun being outside.
Lisa was in the garage and I was outside. We humans don't realize we are supposed to move in a clump.
The garage sheep containment area.
Heather and Andy were rearranging the bunnies.
There are baby bunnies.
Eventually she had to go back in her pen.
It was quite cold this morning when we got up. The thermometer said 22 and there was gusty winds. We had a lot of rain the last couple of days, so there should be plenty of liquid water in the creek for Larry and Louie. Louie found the sheep hut finally. It is a little low for him and faces away from the open pasture. He likes to be able to see everything. He sits under the edge of the hut and pokes his head around to see everything.

We went down to Woodford County to attend the Sheltie Christmas party. There was a secret Santa gift exchange and a white elephant gift auction to help support sheltie rescue.
Piper was very interested in the buffet again this year. It looks like our girls were the only ones present, but there were quite a few shelties in attendance.
There was a nice yard out back for the dogs to use.
Piper noticed that the buffet was being opened.
Piper was working the buffet. She had to make sure that any crumbs were quickly picked up.

We have Christmas lights this year. I was planning to go out today and put up some more. It’s a little cold now. Maybe it will warm up later.
The flash shows the snowflakes.
Sundown in the snow.
Heather parked behind my truck. It looks like we have a fleet.

Louie is waiting for some sheep to guard.
Daffodil followed the girls onto the porch.
They looked like a herd.
Hey, they went in there.
She was on her way in the house. I closed the door in her face.
