Baby Goat
I am writing my March 27th post today, because yesterday we spent the day tending a baby goat and lost track of time.
A baby boy goat was born this morning, a bit premature, but not by much.
Sometimes a mommy goat loses interest in her baby after going through all the process of pregnancy and delivery. It is rare, but it happens. She delivered him fine, on her own, but instead of a proud mama and alert baby, which is typical, there was a cold baby, alive, but not well tended.
It wasn't a hard day, just a full day. It mostly involved holding him, warming him up, milking mama goat and feeding him. And of course taking him to go potty. Not a lot of work, but a lot of repeats.
And of course the girl dogs acted like he was their baby and wanted to get their tongues going to make sure he was cleaned up.
Thus, the day ended and today I wondered, "did I ever get to my post yesterday?" And the answer was "no". So here it is.
Stay Strong! Take each day as it comes.
