No new babies so far today, but then, the weather was perfect so of course they're not going to kid. They'll wait till the weather takes a dive again and it's cold, damp and miserable. The little fellow born yesterday is still sorting out his "landing gear" but he's able to sort of struggle to his feet now, at least for a few seconds. His hocks are still bending both ways, which is really bizarre to see, but the joints will firm up in time.
Today was an unbelievably busy but incredibly productive day. Two of the things I desperately wanted done before I start chemo is the pen cleaning and the goats' foot trimming. This morning, one of my neighbors had the time to come with his bobcat and get started on the pens and a couple of friends came to help trim feet. This couple at one time had over 400 does, so they are REALLY good at trimming feet. It only took a couple of hours and my whole herd was done! The neighbor did what he could on the barnyard and will come back next weekend to finish up. It would have been nice if we could have gotten the barn cleaned out so I could re-bed it, but it's not too bad in there right now.
I hate calling on people to do these jobs for me, but my surgery site keeps filling up with fluid, even though it's been over a month since the surgery. The doctor has to drain it every 3 days and keeps telling me to take it easy. Yeah, right.
