My heart's not ready to let go of winter just yet but my hands certainly are!

It has been a long time coming for this custom shelter to be finished and the cold made it all the more exciting to tackle! Nevertheless, with a few frozen fingers to spare, it's now standing as the new shelter for 2 very happy donkeys and their pasture mates. Thank you for your trust in us to completely design and build your brand new structure! -----> Swipe to see that original drawing sent for approval😉 let's just say we're better at building than drawing😅

Sheep are prey animals meaning that every single decision they make is based on self preservation. Because of this, they will also naturally seek shelter when the weather turns nasty. When no shelter is provided, they may even gather in circles in order to face the elements as a herd. Tight knit circles provide warmth, the key to survival in the wild, and confidence.

But what happens out in the rain? What harm can it cause to your sheep? What about breeds that were bred specifically for harsh weather patterns? Let's dive in😌

For the sake of time & space here, we'll focus on wool breeds. Wool is a protein that is created by the body much like our own nails/hair. It starts our as a follicle and grows by the animal getting the required nutrients needed. When a sheep doesn't receive the required nutrition, especially lactating ewes, the first thing the body does is reroute it's energy focus from the wool to the rest of the body. In order to maintain body temperature, the lanolin within the wool breaks out to help protect the body from the elements until the sheep regains the required nutrition to continue healthy wool growth.

**Inhale**

The wool of a sheep is detrimental to their health and wellness, especially in cold/wet climates. Aside from obvious reasons, it acts as a water barrier, protects against external parasites, and adds a warm bed for lambs while the ewes are resting (it's adorable...)

However, when left without adequate cover, mold and rot have a way of settling into the deep layers of the wool and a sodden sheep can easily catch cold and fever. For wool intended to be gathered, being over exposed to rain can cause a dreadlock affect and other damages to this precious commodity.

Lambs, especially, need adequate, draft free, and muck free areas to avoid illnesses like pneumonia & hypothermia.

Horses are large animals with the ability to grow a thick coat of hair during the cold seasons to help insulate their bodies. So why do they need shelters?

1. Although their coats are thick and warm, their hair is still prone to lift and will lose their insulation against cold wind. Even when there's low humidity, a cold breeze can cause a horse to shiver

2. Hooves are the life of an animal and often considered as the "second heart" of horses. Hoof health is detrimental to their overall health and can be prone to diseases such as laminitis, abscesses, thrush, white line disease, and many more. These diseases mostly come from fungal infections and rot which can be avoided by providing dry, bacterial free ground for them to stand on.

3. Along with cold winds, rain can also cause terrible coat issues by soaking into the skin and rotting. Most often called rain scald, or rain rot, this most often occurs to animals who spend long periods of time in wet conditions and around biting insects

4. Horses can also suffer from overheating and sunburn if left with little shade. Burns can be anywhere between a common rash to painful blisters and when erupted around the mouth and nose, simple tasks such as breathing and eating can be inhibited.

Above all, a well maintained, dependable shelter that is clean, draft and flood free can be the one thing standing between your horses health tipping or thriving against the elements. And when barns are not available or you'd like your horse out in pasture, it's much better to live at ease knowing your partner in crime is safe under cover when they feel it's time to get cozy.

That's what we provide🥰

"How can you work with your husband? You must love him a lot..."

🌱When talking about our business, I get asked this quite a bit. I think that in the passed week, I've been asked about 5 or so times about the relationship between my husband and I and how we make it work (quickly followed by failed partnerships and divorces). The simple answer is, it's not that I love him so much, it's that he loves me in a biblical manner.

🌱I am able to work with him because I'm commanded to respect his position as husband over me. I must be obedient in my role as his wife, helpful to him in his goals, and uplifting when things go south or sideways.

🌱We have an understanding that money doesn't belong to either one of us but that it's a necessary thing to keep us going in life, and in that sense, it's ours to help us not ours to abuse or quarrel over.

🌱Does this mean we are without faults? Absolutely not. We are still human, still irritable, angry, frustrated, blameful, and can get fed up with things pretty easily. But the mercy of Christ and the word of God carry us through.

"Bitterness cannot be negotiated with, it has to be destroyed. Guard your marriage from bitterness."

The fundamentals of building shelters:

1. Find a good location that is flat and workable

2. Prepare your supplies by finding good quality lumber, gathering the right tools, etc...

3. Make a run to the store because you forgot something

4. Pick up snacks and coffee because it's now lunch time

5. Come back to the shop and forget what you were doing, start somewhere else

6. Go back to the store because you ran out of nails / screws

7. It's now 8pm and you only got 1 wall done...

🌱 All jokes aside, this is actually what some days look like. Most days, we surprise ourselves by busting out an entire project and then there are some where you forget how to use a measuring tape. Life is life🤷‍♀️ things happen and we're totally here for it😅

"This day is not your torment, it is your canvas to work with. It is not some kind of penalty, it is a gift from [our] loving Father. It is not a hinderance, it is a great privelage and the accumulation of a full life"

This quote was a gift for me today as I was slumping through the day job. Now, I get to go home and create wonderful projects with my husband from a gorgeous donkey shelter to our tiny house/trailer reno that will become our home soon.

It's easy to get lost in the downs of life but we are grateful for the day and the opportunities in it😌 I hope it could also bring some peace to you as well.
