So more bad news... It's been a rough Monday.
Annabelle is dead. We finally found her remains. I blame those dogs. She was outside of the fence by * their property . How she got there I dont know. Wasn't going to say anything until I was sure she was gone... John had another discussion with them but she's been missing since Saturday night. They're getting a bill. I'm starting a war. For the fence, the goats, and the vet bill.
Hollar broke his leg on the hay feeder today. He's OK. Splinted but ugly. He'll never have a show career.
My clippers broke mid clip and had to run all over town to find some.
My tarp on my trailer finally gave into the elements and tore up.
My transmission on my truck **** The bed.
How was your Monday?

Update: Neighbors just paid the vet bill and are going half in to repair the fence. Neighbor husband is helping repair it.
That's a start.
That's a start.

Yes, at least that's positive news, and hope the fencing goes fast. AND they keep their dogs away.
Sorry about Annabelle and Hollar and all the other stuff

Oh no! I am so sorry I can't imagine what you are going through and pray you get a break soon. Y'all went through heck to keep her alive and get her healthy. My heart breaks for you, friend.
In response to "the wife loves her dog" You loved your goat and the dog killed it so..... I would be just waiting for that dog to come onto the property again with my gun. Sadly, now they know that they can get a goat and they will be back.

Dang, you had a horrible Monday... so sorry! Does look like the neighbors are trying to help - but sometimes it's too little too late. Their dog(s) need to go!
Poor Hollar! I've got a little goat that broke both bones in her back leg on Dec 27th. She's STILL in a cast! Had an x-ray last week and vet said two more weeks. She'll finally get it off next Tuesday and I sure hope I never have to deal with that again. Poor darlin' has been in a 6 x 8 pen for most of that ten weeks and she is literally bouncing off the walls.

So sorry about all of it! Awful day indeed. I would definitely carry a gun all the time now.

So sorry for the loss.
All I'm seeing is red right now, and just took another BP pill. I do wish I lived closer to ya...and that is the nicest way I can put my feelings into words.
Hope the truck isn't too messed up for ya and things do get much better as ya go thru this latest "Trial of Life".
