We are having lots of sunshine, and from in the house it's a deceptively beautiful day. Then you go outside and the wind is like a knife. EEEWWWWWWWW, I hate winter:)

Our early snow :~D
Oh - Bay - nooooo
Well, I know you are enjoying it, so I'm happy for you and happy it's not doing that here:)
Becky
It's now stopped and will turn to mud, so I don't like that part.
Oooooo, snow pics! So pretty! But like you say, then it turns to mud. YUCK!
My Tom-cat Cartman's 'mothering' of the black kitten is beginning to verge on the obsessive. :~D
He grooms her for an hour at a time... at first kitten Pippin doesn't mind, but then she starts to get furious, pins her ears and growls! but if she tries to get up or fight back, he bites her and makes her stay :~D
So she gives up...
And lays there with that faraway look like we use at the gynocologist's office ;~D
But then when he quits, they lay there curled up together... I don't completely get this relationship, but I think Pippin likes the old guy, and I think my old Cartman likes having a kitten!
The little white kitten doesn't tolerate it. If Cartman approaches her, she takes off.
Ok, when did the old cat get a name?
Becky
I think Cartman's taken Pippin as his pet. It's good for the old guy. Everybody needs a pet to love! I think it's sweet.
Heh... Ruthy thinks he looks like Cartman from South Park, so we've sortof been adopting that as a name, since the kittens have names... It didn't seem right for him to just be a number. :~D
Still hanging on to "Pony number 1" for the short horse though :~D
She appears to like him! She doesn't have to go sit by him in the first place... but she does squirm and fuss when he bathes her.
You'll confuse the poor ole guy:)
I liked the number names.
Becky
He'll never come when I call it anyhow.... what's the point? :~D
They all only come to 'kitty kitty' anyway!
And I took a picture of Harley just for the heck of it.
Becky
Harley looks good for the heck of it :~D
Heh... are the fans still plugged in?
Yeah, but the line that brought electric to the barn was tore down. We have the breaker shut off.
Insurance adjuster is coming in the morning.
Becky
Harley and Rocky are both NOT happy campers right now. They don't like being penned up in the small pens. But the insurance people said to leave everything till they saw it. I don't want them running in the pasture with all the loose tin, and I can't fix the downed fence till we get the mess out anyway.
Becky
Are they right next to each other? Or have you got two round pens set up apart from each other?
Harley is just in a pen we made pulling the panels of his run around in a circle. I put Rocky in his run and shut the electric gate wire, it's not hot tho. I'm hoping he doesn't figure it out before we can get everything fixed. Even if he does tho, he can't get off our property and won't be able to get to Harley, he'll just be loose out there where all the barn tin is laying. They can see each other tho from where they're at.
Becky
I bet they are getting stir crazy... When I've penned mine up in the paddock, the pony in particular becomes awful in a hurry :~/
Tomorrow I am going to try to get the hot wire back up, to divide them up. I'd like to let them out some. If we can't get all the mess cleaned up, I'd only let them out during the day. But hunting season will be over next Monday, and I'm riding, and I don't want a goofy horse under me:). Probably be goofy enough with the long break he's had. I may try to ride this weekend a bit in the arena to get him back in the groove.
