Talking Snowed in

This is what bored people do when they are snowed in... they make their goats look goofy with Photobucket.

Now, if only I'd done this earlier. I could have sent these out as Christmas cards!

Cuute! I'll have to give it a try.

At least 12" here, and in this part of the world, that means *everything* has shut down

ok, how did you get your goats out in anything that resembles moisture? i am already planning my snow shoveling in the morning to be the goats first, just to get them out of the barn, then the driveway and everything else people related.

mine will go out in the snow, but waaayyy after it has already stopped and they have a nice path cut through it.

We have 19 inches and once we shoveled paths for them they seemed to like being out in it, much better than the rain anyways. Here are a few pictures. I'm going to have to see if I can do that with Photobucket. Love the hats. I didn't know you could do that.

We started shoveling some paths yesterday but we still had snow until pretty late last night and they were being covered about as quickly as we were shoveling! I think we ended up with about 18 inches but will have to see how much more we got when the sun comes up!

Those are cute pictures! My goats won't go in too much snow either but thats probly our fault since we snowblow & shovel there pen's for them. Dh will even snowblow paths for them outside there pen's when it gets really bad. Spoiled I tell you here, everything is spoiled!
