We need optimism and hope. Mom’s younger brother was diagnosed with esophageal Cancer with liver Mets. He’s one of the best people we know. Please send everything you can for hope! Thank you

Mom, there a bit of room in the middle for you! I just want people to know this is a king size bed!

Mom is leaving for work in icy road and snowy conditions at 5:30 AM. Both Nora and Herman are in bed, under the covers and Tootsie is on the cat tree in front of the fire. All have been fed a breakfast except mom so who are the more intelligent creatures? It’s not Mom!

Herman is like I’m not getting out of my chair for that, Nora is like no, I’m not going out in that, Mom is like cmon everyone, let’s go for a walk!

I’m not saying Herman makes a mess when he eats, but………
January 28, 2025 at 6:54 PM
Herman refused breakfast this morning. Wouldn’t take any treats during the day has been gagging, but no vomiting, but he ate a little bit tonight and I put some omeprazole in his dinner to hopefully help his tummy.

Mom it’s cold out today. Can we just stay in and nap?
January 23, 2025 at 6:44 PM
Herman and Nora sharing the couch. Mom has been banished!

Herman is at rest. Nora and Achy share the fireplace. Achy has passed but we are so glad she enjoyed her last 2 weeks indoors. She was a lovely goat❤️❤️❤️
January 18, 2025 at 1:04 AM
Achy passed last night. She was spending the night in the garage with another goat and when I went out to feed her breakfast, I found that she had passed. We’ve buried her in her favorite pasture. She was such a good little girl.💔💔💔

Achy has passed. She spent the night in the garage with Laddie, and when I went out to feed her this morning, I found her gone. She was laying next to the heat lamp so I hope that means she passed in her sleep. She was such a good little goat. I hope she knew I loved her.

Achy remains unsteady on her feet. She’s graduated to being in the garage at night. I’ve tried bringing another goat into the garage with her but it stresses both of them. She’s in the house during the day. She falls frequently and needs help up. But she looks content and is purring

Achy is recovering slowly. Still unsteady on her feet but better. She has graduated to the garage and one of her sisters can be with her. She grateful to not have to wear the diapers for now! She’s a good girl. Still getting thiamine injections twice a day

Achy has graduated to the garage. Still having some difficulty walking and can be unsteady on her feet. She’s not ready to be out with the rest of the goats yet, but I brought one of her sisters into the garage with her so she can get used to being with other goats again.

Achy is slowly improving. I have to keep her indoors for now, but I would caution anybody else not to do this. The amount of work is unbelievable cleaning washing, diapering and picking up poop.unbelievable! Turns out goats poop constantly there is no single bowel movement. It’s constant.

Does this diaper make minute look big?🤣🤣🤣

Achy
January 1, 2025 at 8:50 PM
Achy, our elder rescue goat! Unable to stand, taken to emergency vet. Overwhelmed with parasites. Now home and a house goat for at least a week! Wearing pampers, with food, hay and water. Now laying in Herman’s bed! According to Herman there is no justice! Achy insist on treats and is purring!
January 1, 2025 at 1:45 AM
Achy is at the emergency vet. When I went out to feed last night she couldn’t stand up and was crying. Rushed her in and she’s full of parasites that have lowered her glucose to 13! We last treated her for parasites last yr, so will have to more closely watch her. Her mates will get treated too!

Awaiting breakfast. It’s only 5AM and mom says we have to wait until 7! Does that seem fair? We are wasting away!🤣🤣
December 22, 2024 at 1:57 PM
Everybody is warm and comfy at our house. And yes, Herman has his own chair. Doesn’t every dog?🤣🤣🤣

Nora has been so sick! 105F fever. No diagnosis despite a full panel of labs and X-rays. She has an underlying autoimmune illness, IBS and laryngeal paralysis. We are giving her I’ve fluids 2x a day and meds. She’s starting to get better. Please send her good thoughts and love
