#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#0060bf#ed_cl#Anyone else preparing for winter yet? Marty Jones and I went shopping yesterday, and the damage was lethal! I spent almost $200 and she spent over $300 LOL We got the same winter blanket (oooh Marty and Dream will match!) on sale at Greenhawk #ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#A href="http://www.greenhawk.net/cgi-local/SoftCart.exe/scstore/p-BLS0159.html?L+scstore+dwly7592ffb5c1b5+1128067050"#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#0060bf#ed_cl#http://www.greenhawk.net/cgi-local/SoftCart.exe/scstore/p-BLS0159.html?L+scstore+dwly7592ffb5c1b5+1128067050#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/A#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#0060bf#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT color=#0060bf#ed_cl#They have a lilac one too that i'd LOVE to get for Harvey but I think I am going to wait till next year. I will give her Dream's old blanket and wait till she is pretty much finished her growing next year before spending the bucks to get her a new blankie.Later on in Jan i will go back to get him another little sheet to go under his new blanket to make sure he is real warm. I've been sheeting him already over night and he is growing a nice wintery coat already. #ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Well we moved in in August and have now gotten the barn all done. We put in 4 stalls and put rubber matting in them all. My guys are loving it. We have been having cold and rainy days and nights so I have been putting them in to dry out. This morning I went out to let them out and all 3 were laying down still sleeping. There is nothing that is any better than seeing them with shavings on their heads just waking up in the morning. I love it.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Well, Tequila has been living outside for the past few weeks and is growing a thick winter coat already.  I think she will end up being a wooly mammoth.  I have no plans to blanket her unless she seems to be suffering.  But she has lived outside, unblanketed before and is a pretty hardy girl so I think she will be fine.  I have two heavy blankets in case she needs them.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
