We had our last sub-normal cold night last night, 4°, then normal January temperatures will settle in for a while, 30's and 20's.
The puppies have remained outside and done fine. They have now taken over Sugar's pen and she has taken over my kitchen corner. So far that has worked out OK.
Our granddaughter has been visiting since last Wednesday. That worked out to our benefit since DH has had a bad spell of shortness of breath and her BF has been coming over each morning to help with chores. I also got off my lazy backside and did the close-up chores for two days, the chickens, the penned calves and the puppies. He really isn't supposed to be outside in very cold weather in the best of times.
Chest x-ray and blood work was all normal. I think it may be the beta-blocker coreg. He has just been taking it a couple of months and that seems to be when his troubles started. The nurse has agreed to him stopping it. It has been 3 days and we both think he is improved. He sees the cardiologist Wednesday. Maybe more tests are due?? We will see.
We both think selling the beef cows is in our near future. Sad but we knew it would come eventually. I hope to keep a few head and a bull but we will see.
Chickens are still giving us 3-5 eggs a day! I am impressed.
We had all five dogs in the kitchen; it was near impossible to get a picture of all of them. They are in this shot. Do you see the third puppy?
We are taking our GD and her BF to Lambert's for lunch today to thank him. He refused payment. I did cook him a good, country breakfast each morning!
