First real snow of the year.  Frigid cold, and I have to work tonight about 40 miles away.  And I really don't want to go.  John

Back from work.  Was 19 degrees but it felt colder.  We did have a small crowd.  Bigger than I expected actually.  Loading equipment at 1:00 AM was painfully cold.  The doors on the car were almost froze shut and the windows wouldn't roll down.  The ride back was intensely foggy which I really didn't expect, but the roads were clear.

When I got home about 1:30, poor Taylor was out there waiting for me, so she got an extra meal.  Of course, the first thing I had to do when I got inside was feed Piggy.

Van Gogh has a new game.  We have a big area rug in the living room and tonight she learned how to burrow under it and attack when I walk by.  After 8 years, she's just figured this out.  I had late night leftovers and she actually ate a little turkey.  She almost never eats human food but she liked that.  John

Hoping it has warmed up there.

Not really warmed up any but it may be warmer this weekend when I have to play down by the Lake.  Still a bit of snow around.

Happy news is that I have proof positive that Taylor used the house you sent.  Traces of mud inside make it obvious.  I set it up on some wood to keep it off the ground which is sometimes a little wet.  Every afternoon she's out in the driveway waiting for dinner and if I see her at night she gets extra.  I'm not sure how regularly she uses it but now I know she has.

Piggy always gets around the clock hay, and twice a day he gets spinach, celery, carrots and a grape.  On occasion he gets a strawberry.  A few weeks back I bought him some actual guinae pig food that comes in little pellets.  He'll eat a little of that but is largely indifferent to it

Van Gogh is still sleeping in my face and the extra warmth feels pretty nice lately.  John

I am glad it is being used! The house is cleanable, it should wipe clean or use a wet cloth when needed. I hope it gets good use.

It will hit 50 here this weekend, that means south of us and east are cold. Hope you are not cold this weekend.

Purr-haps Van Gogh finds your beard comfy?

Yes, there wasn't a lot of dirt in the house, just enough to show she's been in there.  She's left little, muddy paw prints all over the riding lawn mower, which sits right in front of the house.

Van Gogh has her routine.  She usually sleeps right by my pillow and gets up to let me lay down, making a nice warm spot for my shoulders.  Then she curls up with her face in front of mine, laying on my beard, which I have to pull out from under her.  After 10 minutes or so, she'll turn around with her back to my face.

This morning the tornado sirens went off, as they do the first week of every month.  It's the first time it ever seemed to bother Van Gogh.  She got up and walked to the other side of the bed, then back over to me to give me a head butt.  She did that several times, then when the sirens stopped, she laid back down next to me.  I never noticed that bothering her before.  John
