Ya did a great job with the painting and it looks really well done!!....I'm sorry about the ear problems, but agree ya might as well give it a try....doesn't sound as if there is much to lose in doing so.....I have trifocals and have had them for a couple of yrs now....still haven't adjusted to them, but wear them anyway....I have to clean them regularly cause when Gabbie sees them clean, she just has to nose bump them...or, I misgauge the length of her tongue and like a chamelion she has to dot them.....

Animals feel loss too. I always make a point of letting them grieve. Watching their grief really makes my water works flow.
Not to be a downer, but your neighbor should get her jack cut. They will reproduce every year and since they are so darn cute, she will allow them to keep breeding. Perhaps you could convince her to let them have another foal, then take him to the vet for some family jewel surgery. The kill pens are full of unwanted donkeys being sent to slaughter, no point of making more of them.

Miss @B&B Happy goats,
Gosh, it seems like you are continually being put through the wringer. I really hope things can slow down and ease up for you. I hope the treatment for your hearing works. Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours as well.

Bay, i have already lost the battle with the LGD with her, she won't let the dog go....she will never get the jack cut period. Age has her mind set....all I can do right now is make sure her and the animals are eating....I completely understand and agree with you....but her time will run out before the animals, perhaps I can get things taken care of then....It's just that point in life when you realise you just have to take a step back, do what she is willing to let me do, and let her hang onto her independence .... animals giving birth is her joy and life, she loves the babies.......her mind is set....and nobody will change it....i love her to pieces, but i have to bite my tongue. ...
