(Almost) Wordless Wednesday

Puppies are growing so quickly. I've not advertised them per say, they are kind of adverting themselves. The single female has been reserved and another 1-2 are spoken for We've been so happy with Snow and King as guards and protectors and all around companions, these pups should be every bit as wonderful as they are! They have been an invaluable asset to our farm.

They eyes are fully open now at nearly 2 weeks old.

In other news, Jeremiah's blood sugar seems to be better under control. Our cardio work out for Sunday was cutting all of the wood for the greenhouse by hand. It was kind of a joke, but turned out to not be too bad.

We're awaiting winter storm "Q". They're calling for 10-18 inches of snow, we'll see. I'll be happy with anything. I spent much of yesterday getting the animals bedded down and bringing up wood. Nothing is worse than having to trudge out through snow to get wood! I probably should put more in the garage and I may this morning as the heavies snowfall is supposed to be overnight.

We filled the fuel tanks with gasoline in case we need the generator. Heavy ice is expected south of here but it's not so far away to not be prepared for an ice storm too. I'll fill up the bathtub today just in case and the de-icers will be plugged in at evening chores for the animals. Tonight's low is not supposed to be too bad, tomorrow and Friday however will be in the single digits, it's no fun breaking ice after temps that low. Lots of extra food for the goats and dogs but everyone should fair just fine. I may bring the chicks up though , I do worry about them in temps that low. The pups seem to be doing just fine. We'll see what the weather brings. We're desperate & anything that this point, no matter the inconvenience, will be welcomed.
