We lost a 2012 ewe and her two lambs. Almost lost my two old timer ewes, not sure how their unborn lambs are doing, hoping for the best. Didn't realize that sheep hate snow, so much so, that they won't leave the barn for anything! They're now getting extra grass hay and grains.
Lost a litter of black Silver Fox, mom sat on the fur in the nest and they froze. I've been adding and double checking the other three nests constantly. We have a litter of 8 blues from Pomphry, a litter of 9 black and one blue from Kedusha and a litter of 7 lilacs from Veronica, all fathered by Sir Oser!
Our pipes froze and we had no water for nearly two weeks. Afterwards, when they thawed just a bit, we found out that a pipe under the house and in the well-house had burst. Of course! But we found someone able to fix them and insulate them for a good price, as well as done right. Last year, a well-house pipe burst, huge well known company came out, charged us a ridiculous amount and in the end, did a terrible and sub-par job! Which, failed this year.
My laptop won't charge, the doberman puppy nearly cut his foot off, trough heaters failed and we were snowed in. Truely over this Winter and now expecting 8-10in of snow tonight. It's all making me feel so tired.
But the house got new siding, I rescued a miniature filly, the big horses are doing well, as well as the other pets. In the end, it can still be worse, just wishing it doesn't and Spring arrives soon!
Hoping everyone else's Winter is going better! =)
