10 below zero

When I went out for chores this morning and to check on the week old triplets it was 10 below zero with a wind chill of -33. Those little ones were jumping around like it was summer!  In the other pen there was a single doeling freshly arrived , full belly, dried off with her mom.  I have the heat lamp on for her and she seems to be doing all right. I did give her a sweater as well.10604001871?profile=original

  • My sweater is made from the sleeve of an adult wool sweater. I cut two holes for the front legs. Old wool sweaters are readily available at thrift shops. 

  • What a great mom! We had kids get frostbitten ears at that temperature even when we were there with heat lamps and blow dryers. And that sweater is just too cute!!

  • Is that a dog sweater?  If not, could you use a dog sweater?  I have a toy poodle and its just a little hard to get the front legs in! I was going to pick some sweater up when they go on clearance, it would be easier than to try to make one out of socks ect
