An unseasonable thaw melted some of the pond ice yesterday, unfortunately. However, the combination of warm air and strong wind also melted a lot of snow, revealing patches of green grass, and Droopy was able to graze on the lawn. Today, the weather is back to normal - below-freezing and snowing - but Droopy still has an appetite and this morning he fed on the corn I scattered on the ground. If I can get him feeding in that spot regularly, I'll try putting the wire cage in that area during the daytime to get him accustomed to the sight of it.
