Well with temperatures dropping into the teens tonight, the sun didn't have much impact on the snow today. The girls enjoyed another walk on our property! It's amazing how much they love getting out and running around in the cold and the snow. The snow and ice just don't seem to bother them in least, actually it seems to be a source of energy. Watching them run around and chase each other is so much fun. Being so brown in color, the white snow makes them stand out nicely and a bit easier to follow as the bound through the woods. Big sister Maggie enjoyed the time outside as well, but being an old girl, the cold seemed to make the joints a big stiff. Nothing that an afternoon by the fireplace can't cure. As I write I'm enjoying the mellow base notes of Maggies snore. She's been bitten twice in the face by copperheads and amazingly survived both bites! The last one was delivered by a very large copperhead and yet she seemed to do better than the first time. The only impact from the venom appears to be a transformation into a piglet of sorts. She tends to snore rather loudly at night when sleeping as well as during a good hunt. But she's a great big sister and still in great shape and energy for her 10 years. God bless them all as they are so special to us!
