Well truly January really never left, but the usual cold weather did for a bit. And now she's back and frigid. Winds are up, snow whipping around in the air and brrrr, I think it was high of 20 degrees today but whatever the 'weather' really is, when it's windy, it's almost intolerable!
Even Laz's ear is a furried sight!
His sweet muzzle. I think he looks a bit un-loved right now due to his long shaggy coat, his long mane, long whiskers and totally outgrown bridle path. I'm leaving all to grow during the winter for his benefit, other than that bridle path..that is killing me and I have to get at it soon.
I think his whiskers give him a helping hand when feeling for his hay in this cold.
See how long his mane is?! Oh well, I guess the added warmth is for his benefit..I want to chop it come spring for a great makeover! :)
I kept going to the heated tack room for warm breaks during my visit with Laz, and look what I found. The two sweet barn cats, Lilo and Stitch...do you see the hugging?!
Laz even decided to stay in a bit today, on his own choice. In fact, I was soooo pleasantly surprised when he came in his stall after I topped his water off with warm water. I quickly took the chance to wrap his legs inside were the wind wasn't so strong.
This is the point in the year where it seems like the cold will never go away.
ReplyDeleteI hope you stay warm and Laz continues to heal...
Stay warm, and hope Laz continues to do well!
ReplyDeleteMy girl has a long mane, too. It bothers me, but manes are sort of important during the winter. Be sure to take before and after pictures of Laz when you do the makeover!
ReplyDeleteJanuary is the worst! And the wind...it makes loving up our horsey friends intolerable. Laz is a lovebug - and those kitties - too cute!
