Today has been one of those days.. One of those days where you wish that you had decided to be a secretary or a dentist or a hairstylist..... Anything but a farmer!!!
I woke to heavy rainstorms and cranky kids.. thankfully my husband takes care of the kids in the mornings, because I don't think I could have handled it this particular morning.. Hours later I woke to check on the girls, only to find that our new piggy (the one our daughter just got for her 9th birthday last week), was very sick in her pen. Hubby says it is heart worms and when we wormed her, it made her sick.... and there is no cure.. It is a very sad day.

At the same time, I checked all the girls to realize that our youngest baby goat had the scours. I doctored her and momma up with some microbs, then went to town for some medicated feed for the rest of the girls. As it was raining when we left all the girls chose to co-habitate in the same stall. I am sad to say that while we were gone, baby goat was smashed up against the wall and in her weakened state could not overcome the indiscretion. She died while we were gone. It is times like these that make me regret my decision to become a farmer. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!!
