Although tucked away behind Shedward, I still worry about Barney being subjected to our usual, cold winter winds and so Rachel's dad today constructed a windbreak (pictured below) to fit on the front of the hutch.
This should keep warm air inside for Barney and also ward off the wind, the wood at the bottom of the plastic sheeting acting as a weight to prevent it being simply blown away.
I've also fitted Barney's water dispenser with a "warmer" to, hopefully, prevent his essential daily water supply from freezing.
The sheeting easily lifts off and can be rolled up during the day and then slotted back into place in the evening.
And here's a short video of Barney being cute:
Glad Barney will be safe and warm.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday :-)
Thank you! I hope Barney's as pleased with his windbreak as we are ;)
DeleteHey, saw that you had the real Wonder Woman up for Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteAll part of my "birthday week" celebrations ;-)
DeleteI am very happy to have a Barney update and am delighted that he'll be safe and warm through the winter. Barney is awesome, fact.
ReplyDeleteHe is awesome, thank you, Paul!
DeleteI've been meaning to do a Barney update for a while - I have lots of pictures of him looking cute on my iPod - but this seemed the best justification.
Of course this might open the floodgates to multiple picture posts...
