De-Worming Day for the Puppies

We awoke to more snow but not much with a promise of a warm up. By the time it hit 40 degrees Mark's pond overflow was rushing out with the sound of thunder.
Rhoda came over to help with the de-worming of the puppies. They were weighed first the largest pup weighs 9 pounds 8 ounces the smallest weighed 7 pounds 10 ounces. They are all looking and eating well.
Today was dress rehearsal for the Friesian practice but with the amount of slushy mud and snow the dresses were just put on while the girls were sitting on the horses to see how they would drape then taken off for later. Rehearsal went well. The costumes are quite elaborate for this demo. I'm not taking any pictures if you want to see them you must come down to the fair either Friday March 7th, Saturday March 8th or Sunday March 9th. They will be performing all three days.
Rachel posted pictures of the finished micro house the girls (and boys) were building over the summer. This is the finished product:










Amazing what one can accomplish with determination and willing workers. This was not a high budget project and yet it turned out charming.
The picture below was taken today of Lily. She is hanging pretty low and her udder is tight and full but no waxing over so we still have a few days.
