And still I seem to come up short. Yesterday was just one of those days. A day when you give your all to no avail, where nothing would have made it all better. We lost our goat... She did not have milk fever, pregnancy toxemia or ketosis... she had torn something while kidding on Sunday. I did take her to the vet yesterday afternoon and that was the diagnosis. It happens... if hurts. Your fine for the moment and the next your crying your eyes out from the hurt. Blaming yourself that you didn't do enough. So now there are two little orphan girls in the house, being fed roughly every 4-5 hours... This always makes me think of PETA. I wonder how many of them have ever tried their best to save a life of an animal. They think farming in inhumane... If would be inhumane to just left domesticated animal run free. They depend on us for care and food. To turn them out would be cruel. My wish is the the high ups in PETA would have to care for 100 baby calves (Holstein to make it easy) and they couldn't lose one or ELSE! :) Wishful thinking.
OK off that little soapbox. Sorry... that just how my thoughts wonder.
Well lets see today is so far over cast and somewhat warm, that is if think 46 is warm for a morning wake up. I would love to just go back to bed and catch a few more ZZZ's but that's not gonna happen. It's good morning barnyard time!
Maybe the gravel will come today... keeping fingers,eyes and toes crossed.
