Jody, ever the forager, harvested some big handfuls of snow this morning:

This is determination:

Meanwhile, Jamie was passing Missy on a structure:

It looks like they are hatching some sort of secret plan:

Annie chose to collect some more snow and call it a day:

Negra was likely keeping herself cozy indoors:

And Burrito and Foxie (sorry, no photos of them today), took quick forays to get snow snacks. All in all, a very nice day at the sanctuary.

P.S. The buoy / boat bumper ball lives on! Kathleen and Sherry’s predictions were better than some of us who thought it would be deflated by now.
