What IS all this white stuff?!

Posted by Danielle Hicks on Friday, February 12, 2010, In : General Goat Stuff....

In the last 24 hours, the DFW area has experienced the "snowiest 24 hour period" in 111 years of data!

Suffice to say, our herd is NOT happy! They WILL NOT touch the white stuff. They won't go eat hay, or get drinks. Yesterday I took them hay and buckets of water. I did get them INTO the barn, where they'd be out of the wet. I hope they come out today!

Doc's Recovery Journal - It's so hard to say, "Goodbye"...

This is the final post in Doc's Recovery Journal... On February 2, 2010, we made the very difficult decision to put Doc down. While he had beaten the polio completely, he could not overcome the shoulder injury that rendered him immobile.

GOD SAW YOU WERE GETTING TIRED
AND A CURE WAS NOT TO BE.
SO HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU
AND WHISPERED 'COME TO ME'

A GOLDEN HEART STOPPED BEATING.
HARD WORKING HOOVES NOW REST.

GOD BROKE OUR HEARTS TO PROVE TO US
HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST.

RIP Pruittville's AC An...
