He is getting another Malamute.


Oh goodie!! Six weeks out of the year the house will be a snowglobe of shedding. The rest of the year will be whiteout conditions.
. They shed a ton.

He was devastated when Vinnie passed.

Kind of like our lab. Between the lab and myself, there are blonde hair tumble weeds all over the house!!!

He will be busy fixing up the outdoor kennel, building a new dog house, getting age appropriate toys together.

Heck I am going to be making new cushions for the sofa downstairs. We decided a washable cover is needed and the 6 cushions should be just 2 for ease of maintenance.
We do allow dogs on sofas here.

Yes tumble weeds of hair. Kinda like in that town that gets buried in them.

Sleeping off and on. My hair is all spiky, I look like Johnny Rotten!

Only dropped to 14° in the coop last night. We hit low single digits in the night.
Supposed to go - digits tonight. Gonna pick up more pine shavings today.
Really contemplating a heat light....makes me so worried.

Thoughts anyone?

How far into the negatives FNF?

I put one in my coop last night . The poor birds have Mereks. I am sure i would have had a dead bird this morning if i had not. But... i built a wire and wood cage with an access door to change the bulb. The cage is screwed to the wooden divider about 3 feet from the floor. And the light is covered with hardware cloth so the birds can't connect with the bulb. Hubby hates when i use one. But i feel like they need it right now.

We hover around 0* at night. Don’t think we went into the negatives last night but they predicted to drop -3*. I have a large 10.5” brooder light with the cage. A red heat bulb. I thought about using a timer...
I’m not sure how warm it will get it there. Don’t want them to be too used to it. Just keep the chill from killing them.

My thought was to put it about 5’ from the floor. I’m limited to where I can put it because I have extension cord power supply that also runs the waterer.
Picked up 2 more bales of flakes too.
