Thank you for the summary. I hope typing it gave it some closure, but surely not all.
It was horrific and your comment about the 3rd gen is soooo on point. And deeply sad.
I'm friends with her on FB. But of course I only remember her screen name. I'll search for her.
Found her: this is from two days ago.
Not as bad of flooding as the year it rained on the snow. Stream is just overflowed. About 40 feet into the yard. Good 60-70 feet from the silkie pens
As for me down in Vancouver, its all up north. About 3 hours drive. I was just watching ABC news a moment ago, and was amazed at the photos/videos. A gal on SS said her area (next to Mt Rainier) below the mountain was hard hit. She said that was why they didn't buy in the lahar areas of that...
Oh man. I "heard" the huge frustration and "felt" the anger and disappointment in your words.
From your goats, to the kids, to husband, to moving, firing, laying off, idiot goat experts, to off and on again pain, to projects not finished, to lying sellers, to everything in this whole world of...
MOHs is no big deal. Hubs has had at least 10 of them. Face, arm, leg, back and more on the face. The drs are so good at it now.

Oh, I'm mean too. The minute I leave the kitchen, he's up there. And overnight too. We've found many a package of rolls, muffins, etc, downstairs in the area where our son lives.
My dogs obey me right away. Well, except when they are racing along the fence line barking at a dog being walked...
I learned how to drive in snow in Rochester NY. But that was 52 years ago. We barely get any snow here, so its really pretty when we do. I'll just avoid driving in it, if possible.
I can't stand the awful crowing about drivers, here and there and everywhere. Tesla drivers, snow drivers, fog...
I'm late to the trip planning. After you leave drstratton's place, come south and west to visit me. All I've got is chickens but I do have an absolutely killer view West, looking at the part of OR that comes up the coastline.
My son's cat eats everything on the countertop. Today he (the cat) will have red poop. He ate leftover beets which were in the chicken treats bowl. I do not like that cat.
