Goats in the Snow



Here are Tigger and Una during the height of the big snowstorm yesterday afternoon. When bad weather comes I close the roof on the little porch and one of the doors to the barn so the snow/rain doesn't get in. They do like to stand at the door and look out.

They are nice and cozy inside with their own water bucket, hay feeder, bench and lots of fresh straw. They also have their mineral feeder inside with them with free choice kelp and baking soda. They stayed in the barn all day yesterday, but finally came out today when Cousin Carrie dug paths for them to walk to the gate and to their cable spools. They're all set now, but they do seem a little unsure of all of this white stuff...

  1. I can't even imagine how my goats would react to snow.

  2. This must be the biggest snowfall they've ever seen, based on their ages. They did seem a little "saucer-eyed" with the whole thing!

  3. How nice of Cousin Carrie to dig a path for them. Even Dipper didn't get a path to her potty spot. She had to bounce through the snow.

  4. Tigger and Una are staying strictly to the paths. I don't know how long it would have been before they left the barn without the paths. Thank you Carrie!
