Yesterday we had a snow storm move in about mid-night.

 It left some pretty nice wet snow, which was gone by noon.

The cows came out to eat after the snow left and the air warmed up.  They were still eating around ten at night so I figured we might be having more stormy weather today.

There was nothing happening before light, but I saw the cows heading back into the corn field…appearing as ghostly shadows until it lighted up enough you could see them

Now this morning (as I write this) big fat lazy snowflakes are drifting down out of the heavens, taking their time leaving the clouds and softly landing on the earth.  It’s cold, but it as to be cold to have snow.

I always watch the cows, they know…trying to fill up before they have to hunker down and wait a storm out.

I worked at the animal shelter yesterday.  Some of the things people do to animals just amazes me…and I really would like to choke out the people……….GRRRRRRRRRRRr

Four dogs were brought in from a Real Estate woman, who had gone to a foreclosed house to make sure everything would be ready for a showing that afternoon…inside she found the foreclosed on families three bird type dogs (I think Brittany Spaniels)  and the little tiny bit of fluff poodle.  They had been left in the house by the family in the hopes that the animals would leave huge messes for someone to find.  Of course there was no food or water (all the water and electricity had been turned off…this was a foreclosure).

The dogs were just stunned and hungry and extremely thirsty.  One of the bird dogs got adopted yesterday, which was good.  But the others have to wait.

The things people do to animals, just makes me sick.

These people are known and will be prosecuted for animal cruelty, which will take time, but it is something.  In the meantime I hope just the right families will come looking for wonderful sweet animals that need love.  The shelter has lots to chose from.
