I thought that when it turned cold last weekend, Roxy would go back to her winter burrow, but she had other plans. I think she knew that it wouldn’t stay cold for long because I found her…in the spiky balls and leaves beneath one of the holly bushes by the patio! She didn’t dig far into the dirt; just enough that she would be safe from the cold and potential predators.

She stayed up until the sun moved away from her spot, and then went back to bed. She’s not moving around or anything; she comes out in the morning, waiting for the sun, then parks her arse to grab some rays (which she was doing with Onje yesterday). Once the sun moves, she heads back under the holly.
