Maisie gave me a bit of a scare yesterday. I knew she's been cold the last few days, but she was smart about tucking herself back in the corner of the skirting area, a place out of the wind and surrounded by wool insulation, and seemed to be okay.
I was hopeful yesterday's warm up into the 20s would help, but I found her huddled in the corner shivering in the afternoon. I couldn't find anything physically wrong with her and she's got plenty of wool and "good cover" (fat ;-), but I don't want to see anyone shivering.
I knew her red coat from after shearing last year would not fit over her wool, but thought Jared's bigger coat would...but it was too small, too. I was just about to sew some extensions on it, but luckily remembered Mrs. Pepperpot's old blue coat. With just a small alteration in the front, it fits perfectly.
"I'm fine!"
"I just needed a puffy coat."
I wonder if The Crowing Hen would wear a puffy coat. She looks pretty cold up in the top picture. I've been bringing her into the Wool House at night and making her stay in on the really cold days. We'll all be glad when this weather breaks. I have gotten a few nice pictures though :-).
A couple new puzzles coming tomorrow!

Awww, I,'m glad the coat is helping! Please give warm hugs to all the old sweeties for me.
So glad the coat fit!!
Love Maisie! ❤️ Looking chic in her new coat! :)
I see you have at least one Corgi. I was thinking about getting one, what are your thoughts on them? Gemma's Person , B.
Special sheep need special treatment!
God made corgis cute for a reason ;-). I could write a whole book about corgis, but there are several good ones already out there and I think I'd start there. Tilly was pretty quiet and calm. Bea is more "textbook" and might not be for everyone. She's a high energy working dog and if she didn't have the farm to run, might get herself into a lot of trouble.
Thanks.
