Sorry about your friend's horse, Nan. =( That is tough to take.
I took a few hikes with the goats & dogs this week, & will venture out again today on the snowshoes if the temp goes up just a little (it's currently -15). There was very little snow a few days ago, but it's been snowing the last 2 days, so there's a good 5-6 inches of new snow. No packs on the goats, because we're all a little out of shape, & need to get back down to fighting-weight.
The goats & their "guardian" puppy, Rio. She's a 9 month old Great Pyranees/Border Collie cross. She loves her goats, especially Lenina, the brown doeling. They were born a few weeks apart last spring, & she always overnighted in the goat pen from day one. (She has free run of the ranch during the day, as do the goats, but I lock them up at night because we're in bear & lion country...)
