A carriage, a sleigh made for a beautiful day and drive with a view as far as the eye could see. The prairie covered in a blanket of snow dotted with farms, beautiful tree belts, cattle and horses. Horses, as you know, are one of my favorites right up there with dogs, both were my first loves in life and remain. Blessed are we.

Yesterday another drive, to see family. Lily was the first to greet as Eli and I drove into the yard. "Hello Lily, you're such a pretty girl. I've got something for you." She sat. She remembered and was given a treat.

Gracie has 2 new lambs, Halo born at Halloween and the other, born last week named Holly. Opal, Holly's mother, was more curious than protective as she let me stoop down and say hello to her babe and rub Opal's forehead. Lily, the corgi/blue heeler, waited patiently outside the door. Seeing the animals was the last of the trip. Lily walked me to Eli, we visited. She sat in the soft snow, cocked her head listening intently. Rubbing her ears, okay, one more. As I handed off the treat, she licked the tip of my nose and trotted off. She's a hard worker, keeping coyotes at bay from the sheep.
We've been keeping treats in Eli for those dogs that wonder near, keep close and looking for home. Was happy to have some treats for Lily. The blonde lab that has been seen before and this time thin, remembered me. Shaking, she sat, I reached into my coat pocket and gave. With the help of friends and many phone calls, her name is Tess. Just so happens we can see her home from ours. Yes, we do look over and bless at night. Always helping where we can, lost and abandoned, animal or human.
We are most blessed by friends and family that share their animals. Blessed. Truly. Thank you.
Stay warm friends, enjoy your week, love your animals and help where you can for those animals that need help in these cold temps. Savor the warmth of the sun.
