Goodbye my Goaties! ='(

[Blackbird]

I move this Saturday, in two days.
No more garden, no more fresh air, no more good food right out in the yard, and no more goats!

I went out yesterday and took pictures of all the girls one last time.

Libby, Nota, Jenna, Blanche, and Ann Robin;

(It is dark in here so I can't find the "I" key on the other keybord...not worth turning on a Iight.)

I didn't know you were moving, Merle. Sorry you can't take your girls with you...I know that must hurt. Is it just you and your mom moving or ?

I was thinking of getting out of the sheep business but I couldn't bear to lose Black Betty and Mo....they are too close to what I want in a sheep. How can you ever find that certain combination again?

wait, you aren't saying goodbye to them forever are you? won't you be able to visit them?

 

[FarmerDenise]

Those are beautiful. Too bad you cannot take them with you.
and what bibliophile said.

It must be hard for you to leave them behind

Aww, nice goats.

I made chevre from the recipe you gave me. No one died! Thanks for the help.

No Bee. Unfortunately it is just me who is leaving. My mom is staying. She will take care of them while I am gone. I'm not sure if she will ever leave him..
If we were both leaving I won't even miss them, that freedom for both of us would be far more superior to any loss.

After so much depression even coming back here to visit would be too much I think. I do not hate my dad, but I cannot stand to be around him, it makes me feel ill. So I never want to be around that again. It will take time for me to forgive and forget. I am sad, but I am also glad that I will no longer have to deal with any of that. Everything I am leaving here (items) I told my mom to do what she wants with. Keep them, throw them, give them away, burn them, whatever. I have no use. If I forgot the items in a day or a week, then I do not need them. I have a couple of bags and four boxes with my items already.

If I was to find my own place in the country that I could have animals, I have a cat or two, my Muscovies, Heathcliff, and two doelings, Zarela and Morgandy, born this year that I would take with me.

As time goes on I think the number of animals will dwindle down as my mom finds more freedom going back to school and work. Then hopefully she will turn around, look, and see that she really needs none of this.
