I have been a bit of a house potato this week. Except for going to work which is unavoidable. I managed to drive to the barn to give Josie her wormer and give her a once over. Two nights this week we were able to walk around the entire complex. That Musher's Secret seems to work very well when I take the time to apply it. Pix is first as Wyatt licks his off by the time I finish applying it to everybody feet.

I had heard predictions of -35 and we accumulated maybe three inches so I opted not to ride last night. I had signed up for Sunday trot poles so I must ride Friday and Saturday. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. Josie hopefully got her snow pads either Wednesday or Thursday so she will have had time to acclimate to them.

Wyatt is getting cabin fever . . . he has taken after Pix a few times. It is more than playful in attitude. She hasn't taken his toys or anything. Pix then remains in the background, the safe place. I am thinking no matter how cold it is, they need to go to the barn and get out of this winter rut.

Life is good but friggin' cold!
