Well the blizzard is here and I'm loving every minute of it! Ugh Dave... I HATE wind! I'll take almost any kind of weather over wind. It's supposed to get down below zero tonight and stay pretty cold through tomorrow before it warms back up again. But Cuzco's got his blanket and everyone else has thick fur, a nice fat layer, and each other to keep them warm.
Of course, after mucking out the boys' shelter this morning I totally understand why Cuzco keeps his shed to himself. I completely stripped the boys' shed quite recently, but the other day I noticed a smell when I threw down hay and when I mucked it today it was soaking with pee and stank like a public outhouse that hadn't been serviced. Once I peeled back the top layer I couldn't stick my head inside without my eyes watering. Seriously?? No wonder Cuzco keeps those nasty guys out of his place! Cuzco's shed hasn't been mucked out since I put it there last summer and it's still dry and smells like clean hay. He may not be as warm all by himself, but at least he's not wallowing in filth!
