COLD SNAP STILL HERE

Its freezing here at the moment, I love the snow but the frozen water is driving us nuts, we have to deliver water to the animals 3 or 4 times a day. Just as you finish one round of breaking ice and hiking down with water you are off again, not going to get anything done at this rate. 4 of our little kune kunes went to their new homes today, 2 went to Danni and Mark the other 2 to the Pub in St.Stephens! (as pets I hasten to add!)..The others aren't able to be collected yet as their new owners are snowed in!...Its going to be weird without them. Pixie will be due end of Feb but I dont think she will have a big litter, Kune Kunes usually have small litters. Duke is stabled again now too, He is really struggling in this cold weather. The ground is so hard for his feet, he hates being shut in but I cant bear to watch him suffer on the hard ground. He is all tucked up and see how he is tomorrow. I just hope he can get through this bit and the Spring will bring softer ground, then he might pick up again. Oh and Petes mum has broken her knee cap by slipping on the ice!Get well soon Pam!..... All the Golf is cancelled, Pete and Steve weren't supposed to be here today but Burhill comp was all cancelled...Wonder how much longer it will be a nightmare.
