If you’re looking for something that’ll brighten up your day, Life With Pigs Sanctuary’s video of their goat, Edna, trying to walk across the frozen pond will do it. While she may not be used to walking on ice, it’s clear that she’s pretty good at it!<\/p>\n
Watch as Edna tries to navigate the frozen pond, carefully stepping and trying not to slip. Life With Pigs joked that she’s ice-skating, and that certainly seems like a pretty accurate description of her as she slips and slides around!<\/p>\n
In the video’s caption, Life With Pigs<\/a> explains more about how the winter weather is affecting the farm: “Ice (frozen water to be clear) is causing us all kinds of problems. Movement being the first of those. But Edna would like to demonstrate her technique for navigating until the melting occurs.”<\/p>\n She’s an ice-skating pro! One viewer commented, “10\/10, Edna!”<\/p>\n Related: Bernese Mountain Dog ‘Flabbergasted’ People Ice Skate on ‘His’ Pond Can’t Believe His Eyes<\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/strong><\/a>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n The winter months can be brutal for animals, especially those in areas with heavy snowfall. Keeping animals protected from the cold winter weather can be a full-time job, and it’s important that pawrents prepare for it.<\/p>\n The Animal Welfare Institute<\/em><\/a> explains that one way to ensure farm animals are prepared for cold weather is to provide them with extra feed. “Animals will need extra energy to maintain their body temperature, so plan to provide them with extra feed that is of good nutrient quality.”<\/p>\n The institute also recommends monitoring water sources to prevent ice from forming, which can leave animals without drinking water.<\/p>\n When possible, move the animals indoors; if that isn’t an option, provide barriers to protect them from wind and snow. “Provide bedding in order to insulate the animals from snow and ice underneath their bodies; routinely change bedding to protect animals from wet conditions and help prevent hypothermia and frostbite.”<\/p>\n This story was originally published by PawNation<\/a> on Feb 7, 2026, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
