Farm House Pets

Our weather has been wildly fluctuating, with heavy snows, ice storms, warmer days with rain, and then cold days once again. The dogs and cats spend most of their time indoors, either in the kitchen (using the collection of beds and pillows on the floor) or in my bedroom with me:

Daisy got medicine, mixed in with canned cat food and meat flavored baby food for many weeks on the kitchen counter. Even now, long after they have ceased, she comes to the kitchen, searching for more, twice a day:

Rocky is showing his age and is not very active any more. But he's warm and comfortable and gets along with everyone:
