Well, it has snowed again with a vengeance over the past few days, rendering roads undriveable and fields inedible!

We are back to putting out silage for everyone. Charlot seems to have stopped being quite so mad and lets me adjust his rug and replace his straps. Today, I caught him and put a bungee strap around his neck while Richard put his belly strap back. He was happy enough and let us sort him out with minimal fuss and his face in some silage I was holding for him.

He even came up to have his photo taken!

Well Charlot is being a little bugger and won't be caught to have his rug straightened, though we did manage with the help of a Christmas carrot! I refuse to run around after him and he seems warm enough in his rug even if it is a bit wonky. There is no evidence of rubbing and he is always pleased to see us when we bring the silage in the morning.

The snow is not too bad, just sheet ice everywhere, which is terrifying and lethal. Any snow melts during the day only to freeze over at night. Despite that, everyone is managing fine and there is definite evidence of playing.
