Once again

It's happened again. Another one of our goats has died. This time it was Ella, our oldest goat. She was the third goat Daddy bought - he sold the first two last year - and was one of the best. I don't think she was anybody's favorite, the way Jemima was, but it was still pretty sad. I knew it was going to happen, and I think it's better this way, too. She had a hard life, and moving to Missouri would have been really hard on her. Of course we were going to take her! I don't trust any goat-owners I've seen so far to take care of her... That is, there is one, but she would still have to move to missouri, if we were going to give her to the one goat-owner I trust.

Here is a picture I made for her:



I think part of the reason she died is, because of the drought, there hasn't been enough water, so the plants haven't been growing as well,so the goats don't have enough to eat. We are going to sell our four pure-bred nubian does. First is Heidi, who I think is about six years old, and then winter, her daughter, who is about three years old. Then Winter's two doelings, Jasmine and Faun/Fawn, who were born this spring. I was hoping we could keep the doelings, but after this, it's better that we sell them. I'll put up some pictures of them later, when I've made some to upload.

(By the way, I know my weather pixi shows that it's pouring rain, but in reality, the most is a slight misty sprinkle)
