I hope that your locking up the animals earlier, will help.countrynmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06671253854427788011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-31703650613456731122009-10-18T17:06:10.419-04:002009-10-18T17:06:10.419-04:00Hey Bev,

Our first freeze is tonight for a low of 31..but the sun is trying to shine after a week of absence. <br /><br />Stay warm,<br />StephStephanie Suzanne Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121430170088480348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-60478649084863076722009-10-18T11:04:42.358-04:002009-10-18T11:04:42.358-04:00You sure are having your problems with your feathe...You sure are having your problems with your feathered friends..very sad..I wonder if the littles can swim???

Hopefully locking them up at night will keep it from happening again. Poor littles, swimming lessons? We're pretty sick of all the rain here as well.Ankehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891642887957584851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-26060022761487371872009-10-18T04:04:37.711-04:002009-10-18T04:04:37.711-04:00I'm sorry to hear about the guineas.

I agree, it is a constant battle to keep the girls and boys alive.<br />KellyKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257564938538898594noreply@blogger.com
