Here it's more about the winter cold than the summer heat; I'm wondering if I can get her to wear a blanket if we can't do one more winter. Last winter was the worst around here since 1992, and school went way beyond the last day of school doing make-up days. I still have spots in the barn roof to repair, and broken pipes, before it freezes up again. So many roofs collapsed that anyone who would work on roofs has had a months-long waiting list.
She's never worn a blanket, and tends to be very touchy about touching. She'll let me brush her, she'll let us pick up her feet, but she doesn't like anyone but me to touch her. When it cools down a bit, I'll start working with the blanket and see if I can get her comfortable before everything freezes up.
