It's been a discouraging couple of days for me, as Doc has had a difficult time dealing with his recovery in the freezing temperatures we've been having. He had a coat, a heater and a heat lamp, but when he tried to get up, his old body just couldn't do it.  Thankfully, we've gone back to more "seasonal" temps! Yesterday, when in the sling, doc was doing much better. He was putting weight on his front legs again, and even tried to jump toward the banana I was offering him for incentive!

Thanks to my dad and my friend, Unka Tae, I now have a pulley system to hoist Doc up, insteaed of a rope over the rafter in the barn. Man, it makes it so much easier!

I've also let Doc stay out under the cover with the does. He needs goatie company, and I think it did him some good. Does can be mean, but as long as he's laying down, and not standing, they don't challenge his presence there.

I am looking forward to more progress from my big man. I hope soon, he'll be standing on his own, and walking, and just being a goat!
