It was the coldest morning yet here at the funny farm, freezing but sunny. Many moons ago I babysat my sisters dog. On a morning very similar to this one she greeted me covered with frost and so I took this picture. I cleared out the background and blew it up and gave it to her as a Christmas gift.

IMO it is one of the best shots I ever took.

So to continue the story , I went out to the stable to give water and check on the horses . I have a old horse and an old pony. Both will be 23yrs old. The old pony is not doing that great health wise but I do my best to keep him comfortable. Well my pony Roo was covered with frost also! So I ran in, got the camera, took off my gloves and froze my fingers for a few pics

Not quite as dramatic as the dog but still neat. He's such a fuzzy little guy.

Not to be left out my horse Aldante was also frosted but since he is white you can't see anything but the hay frozen in his mane. Don't you love his "tippy" ears? He is a camera hog.

Now the goats wanted in on the action. They were in the barn all night so they were ready to get outside and eat. Notice how Aldante is in every shot!

I only have 2 goats left now since Percy my black and white guy had to be put to sleep last month at the age of 12. Poor Percy...we all miss you.My male Jacob always impresses me with his marking, eyes and horns. So here are a few pics of him, eating of course. That seems to be all goats ever do.

Being a bottle fed baby from day one and having him fixed makes him a great pet. He is always gentle and very careful with his horns. Loves a good scratch between them! I wish Lily was as careful with hers!
