Well Crud
It always seems like the misery around here comes in clusters. It also comes way too frequently. The harder I work to make everything go right and get better, the more undermined I feel.
Saturdays happiness has now turned into disappointment. Yesterday morning the triplets born Saturday all looked fine, bouncing around and lively. I take off to a self reliance meet up and when I come home, 2 babies are dead and the third is hanging on by a wing and a prayer. In the house we go and spend all night trying to get milk replacer in the baby to no avail. This morning, it’s about more of the same depressing thing with a small amount of success. I have managed to get more milk replacer in this little thing and Ted the cat is proving to be both a help and a pain in the hind end. Seems Ted is jealous and in trying to keep herself between me and the goat, she’s giving the goat comfort, rubbing on it and licking on it. Well, when she isn’t doing random drive bys on it, LOL
So, that part is looking like we might end up with a live baby goat. But, there’s more bad news. The nanny isn’t looking too good. She’s just laying in the straw, slobbering and will not stand up. Her milk bag is empty. Not looking good for the nanny. I haven’t a clue what the problem is, she’s always been such a good mother and healthy.
Eh, sometimes it seems like all I do around here is bury animals. Kind of depressing……
