Unusual winter

Because it has been a winter of unusual extremes and more snow than in recent years, we've added some comforts to each dog's pen.   It has mostly been cold and windy, low windchills, sometimes heavy snow,  fewer times, icy rain.   The trails that aren't groomed are deep and will grab a snowmachine and drag it in.

The extra comforts are :  straw bale blocking wind from house door; tarp overhead to protect dog and straw from icy rains; windscreen tarps on fences;  coats on dogs who won't eat them.  Fresh straw in houses each time the windchill takes a dive.
