Oh Baby It’s COLD outside

Cold… it is SO cold outside right now. It’s been really cold for a good solid couple of weeks. So as I contemplate this word I am sitting in my lazy boy wrapped in a cuddle blanket and coat, sipping some hot chocolate. I wonder, what I can write for this post?

I was brought to mind of my bunnies, and how caring for them right now is a real chore. As in HARD work. There  is the thawing the water bowls, the scraping the pans, the checking the babies, and the feeding. It’s always harder when it’s really cold out as your hands quickly become icicles even with gloves on.  The toughest job is scraping the pans as everything is frozen and difficult to remove.  Keeping the buns clean and healthy is of paramount importance. 

There is one aspect to this really cold weather that I honestly don’t mind a whole lot.

It’s the bringing of my wee babies into the house. To see those vulnerable young ones sleeping so soundly. Squeaking and rooting around when I pick them up to check out them. It’s makes my heart melt every single time. I love the wee ones.. holding them in my hands, checking them over, getting them used to the scent of people. It’s a great thing to do eh?

Baby it’s Cold Outside

Snuggled quietly
Indoors
Blankets 
Hot chocolate
Keeping me warm

Bitter cold
Pans frozen hard
Water turned icicles
Bunnies are hungry
Work to be done

Scrape those pans
Bash them
Nudge them
Shake it loose
Poop and Pee in the bin

Bunnies are thirsty
Hot water is waiting
In go the bowls
Ice pucks floating
In new water goes

Brush off the snow
Grain in the pail
1/4 scoop each
Bunnies are munching
Happiness

Ooh... wee babies born
all snuggled in close
Oh mind this little one
Has got chilly toes
Concern sits close

Into the house
Little ones come
Covered with teatowel
Prying kitties avoid
Warmth seeps in

No Chilly Toes
Bunnies a wiggle
Squeak and they squawk
As they look for dinner
Saved from the cold
