Tonight marks a new first for The Ladies, which means our first blog post in quite awhile. Nashville is looking at some record low temperatures and so we had some friends over after dinner to help us prep The Ladies for zero degrees. As you can see from the pictures, we're all dressed for the weather while out on the back porch. At that point, we were hovering somewhere around fourteen.
The part of the story you would expect is that we put The Ladies in Big Sister's former crate on the porch and covered them with a couple of warm blankets.
The part you might not expect is what we had to do for the combs. Each of The Ladies got a nice covering of petroleum jelly to make sure frost bite doesn't set in. We'll see if they last the night.
