We got about an inch of snow last night and we're supposed to get more tomorrow. I liked having the snow. It gives me sheep something to drink With this below freezing weather all week, their water buckets (I have four out there and I bring two in the house at night to thaw and bring it back out during the day) freeze really fast. I've even tried putting water in their shelter and building up a bunch of straw around it to try to insulate it, but it didn't work. So they've been happily munching away at the snow.

And the ewes really went at their hay tonight, too. I gave them twice the amount of what I've been giving them. Let's hope I don't find it in the feeder tomorrow, lol! But Tuesday I caught Ciqala and took pictures of her. I got a picture of her teeth and her eyelids. Finally I have pics of teeth/eyes of everybody lol. Her teeth actually look pretty good for her age. Only some teeth are showing wear, but the rest look pretty solid.

I told Ali that she has a little over one week (Feb 1) before she gets her CD/T shot and she starts getting 1/2 lb of grain. She didn't seem to understand what I told her as she kept the same expression on her face, lol. Whereas Ciqala has almost 2 weeks (Feb 7) before she gets her CD/T shot and she starts getting 1/2 lb of grain. She looked grumpy, so I imagine she knew what I was saying. She's never been a fan of getting her vaccination. And I bet she's not happy that she has to wait longer to get grain. Poor Hank is going to be grumpiest of all though--he's not getting any grain!

What are CD/T shots?
I feel a lil more normal now... i talk to my pets too.

The CD/T vaccination protects against Clostridium perfringens types C & D (enteritis and overeating disease) as well as C. tetani (tetanus). I do it 30 days pre-lambing so the lambs get protection from the vaccine in the colostrum (first milk).

And I talk to my sheep when I feed them and pet them and scratch them--it helps to break the awkward silence I talk to them in a baby voice like "aww look at you cute lil sheepie" so that's probably why they don't take me seriously lol Sometimes the cats like to talk to. Some are more talkative than others, five of them especially. The other 8 or 10 or so don't really like to talk back to me hahahaha.

Wait, wait wait!
