glenolam's madness - April passed away

So sorry. It sounds like Carl is going to have a great home, and I don't blame you. Bottle feeding babies is not one of my favorite things to do!

Don't blame you on the boy. I'm no fan of bottle feeding. I actually love milking but don't like bottle feeding. I will be very glad when my bottle feeding is done. Even at 3 times a day, it just takes up too much of my time. There is so much more than just giving the bottle. It is preparing the bottle and then cleaning the bottle afterwards.

I am so sorry. I know how it feels. At least the baby made it. Sometimes there is just nothing you can do.

oh geez...sorry.

but i'm hearing you. the bottle feeding thing is a time drain for sure. i absolutely do not understand why folks do it if they dont have to. glad you found a good place for him.

hang in there baby! and feel free to throw mashed potatoes at any family member who give you any flim flam!

Dinner went as well as could be expected but I'm glad everyone's gone.

I dropped little Carl off at his new home - try not crying in a huge horse farm where about 10 people, 6 of which are under the age of 10 are there for lessons as you drop off the only thing good that came of this situation! I tell you I had to apologize profusely and just about didn't give him up. They completely understood and said they'd give me a call in about a week to let me know how he's doing.

On Saturday afternoon I traded Nilly, Cara's twin, and some money for the two Saanans who are really very sweet. I told them Nilly had been pawing at the ground and looked to have slight discharge so...Have Fun!

I got a call just as I got home from dropping Carl off today and it was the girl down the road who now owns Nilly. She said Nilly had just delivered a beautiful healthy, but small doe. She said she heard about Cara from a mutual friend and was very sorry so she wanted to call as soon as Nilly was all set to give me the good news. I get to go see them tomorrow, where I'll probably cry again. I said I couldn't beleve she only had 1 and even more the fact that she was small! Nilly was huge in my eyes.

If you go back a couple pages you can see Nilly standing next to Cara.

Wish I could help you feel better. At least Caramel had a great family. It does make a difference.

Just saw this and I am sorry for your loss. it may be "just a goat" to some people but for you this was more and that makes it hard all around.
