First of all we had about 2 feet of snow and the old straw shed collapsed from the weight of the snow- The roof was about 20 feet high and no way to clear the snow off. Also- with the heavy snow removal the Gehl- skidloader died :(
Now- for the good news--- We are depositing $4,135.00 in the bank tommorrow from the Christmas donations that came in!! We want to thank Twyla for designing the very nice Christmas brochure and all the people who sent card, letters of support and encouragement, and donations. 
Also- with the help of the O'Sullivans and the USDA grant we are going to be purchasing the newer Bobcat skidloader and snow blade so we can keep the shelter clear of snow as well as clean kennels.Also- the roof on the kennels and roundhouse were saved- we cleared off the roundhouse roof 3 times before the snow finally stopped. The dogs who usually like to sleep in the hay shed all escaped without injury.
Sincerely,
Karen and RLRR

Awww, it's sad to see the shed go down. But it does kind of make a better shelter for creatures now that it's kind of enclosed ...? Sorry you had to do so much work, Karen. I thought you sounded more tired than usual when I talked to you last night. I'll see you tomorrow!
