All Good on the Northwestern Front

Let me tell you, all our preparations worked great!

The shed stayed nice and toasty, as did the pens. Not a single water bottle was frozen between the two. Nyx, Noir and Mufasa aren't happy about their dark caves, but they will get over their angst. The Bunhalla bunnies apparently just braved it out under the rain tarps by making hay tunnels. When I investigated their doghouse and dog'loo, nothing had been touched. Their water bottles and water feeder did freeze, as expected, so I put out fresh bottles while giving them a little lecture about pragmatism.

I do so love the look on the Angoras face when I went out there, very Jeff Dunham's Walter - "What the hell was that?"

Now I have to go and dig out the van.

I'm glad to hear that DOOM didn't happen.

DOOM is often avoidable. I hate to think what would have happened without the preparations.

I'm sure you already know, but for anyone interested:
Rabbits stop eating when they are without water and without nearly constant eating, they easily lose their healthy gut bacteria and so when water is again available, they cannot digest it properly and lose its nutrients.
