We are forecast minus five or six degrees for the next three nights and barely above freezing during the day.<\/p>\n<p>I am ready to put the girls back on tylan if I see any bubbles in Dandelion&#8217;s eyes. I\u00a0 feel that if she can come safely through the next three days she will probably be in the clear.<\/p>\n<p>I think the girls are coping with cold but dry weather better than the earlier cold but damp or wet weather. We have been having sunshine despite the cold and the girls make the most of sitting in the sun although today there have been light snow flurries.<\/p>\n<p>The girls haven&#8217;t been spending as much time in the shelters as earlier in the year. I have to trust that they know best and that they will be okay. I will be very relieved to come out the other side of this cold spell.<\/p>\n<p>I will be out early defrosting the water for the next three mornings. The girls are also going to bed a bit earlier which again is a sign that they know best. Before the cold spell they were going in at quarter past five but now they are in by five o&#8217;clock.<\/p>\n<p>I think we will all be glad when we get into some warmer weather. I really hope this cold spell is the last of it for this year. It&#8217;s felt like a long, cold, winter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To my surprise Dandelion is coping well with this latest cold spell.
