Good luck on cleanup--we're here in the Missouri Ozarks and are very familiar with what you're going through!!!<br />For our critters (currently 8 outside dogs, 2 inside dogs, and 9 inside kitties--all stray/rescue/shelter) the absolute lifesaver for the outside babies has been the heated water bowls--that way they have water at all times, plus I don't have to haul buckets in/out to thaw.<br />The last ones I picked up at MFA for $16 each, I think. Plus some good heavy extension cords.<br />I highly recommend heated water bowls for next winter--I've even given them as gifts for other people with outside animals!!!Janetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-57829148198916787182011-02-12T13:59:53.810-06:002011-02-12T13:59:53.810-06:00Patience pays off!

But I love love love the pictures of everyone getting along and patiently waiting by the water bowl. How in the world did you get dogs, cats, and chickens to all get along so well? I'd love to know the secret!homegrown countrygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553063397004327639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-65333625352735605112011-02-11T20:11:15.301-06:002011-02-11T20:11:15.301-06:00In our old house the pipe to the kitchen sink woul...In our old house the pipe to the kitchen sink would freeze up on cold days like this. Luckily it was only the kitchen one! Btw, I made your Farmhouse White Bread today to have with cream of broccoli soup for dinner and it was excellent. There is only a loaf and a half left so I know it won't last the weekend!Elizabethhttp://kittycafe.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-59978966192009575842011-02-11T19:58:48.107-06:002011-02-11T19:58:48.107-06:00Hey Susan!

Due to a series of unfortunate weather events and no propane to boot (that in itself is a totally other story), we ended up with NINE broken pipes, a flooded barn, and 2 inches of water in the basement....all re-frozen of course. Breaking ice on water troughs definitely lengthens one's day. Can't WAIT til spring :).Charlie Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11959264984189099188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-54981304221347571992011-02-11T19:28:12.315-06:002011-02-11T19:28:12.315-06:00Hi Susan

My dad was always telling us not to let the water run. Love the pictures of the cuties lining up to take a drink. Cats chickens and Buddy Bear So cute everyone being patient and waiting their turn. Love it. Take care MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
