Tribute to Latestarter

My brother and I got to spend time with Mel's new mom and are completely happy with our decision that B&B is going to give him a great home. It's bittersweet though, Mel was more than just a LGD, he was family. Saying another goodbye wasn't fun, even if Mel was just going to a better home than we could give him. I can't wait to see pics of Mel and see how he is doing in his new home!

He really isn't that big, but when he sits in my lap he looks that way. He can actually walk under Mel.

You must have been making an effort to hide behind him if he can walk under Mel. I mean I know Mel is a BIG dog but still!

Well, we just got home and are settling in for a rest. We stayed a while after B&B got on the road, and I was able to see some cool family photos, that Brandy is taking home. That was fun!

@B&B Happy goats is planning to start a thread just for Mel, so you will be able to follow his journey in his new home.

B&B has some funny stories to tell. She should be home tomorrow some time.

It was easy to see the love you have for Mel. Doing the right thing isn’t always the easy thing. Big hugs to you for putting Mel first.

While we were all visiting, I got some nice photos.

Here, @Baymule and @B&B Happy goats are chit chatting.

Here is Brandy, getting an adoring look from Mel.

Here, Bay is loving on Mel. He got a LOT of lovin’ today.

And here is Mel after he got into B&B’s pretty red truck just before starting his new life. He is going to have a great life with B&B.

I am so glad that things look to be working out. Have there been any developments on finding a home(s) for the goats? Where did the original ones come from? @Goat Whisperer ? been so long since I read his journal that I have forgotten. I know that you want them to go to good homes too. Plus, there are several that are still due to kid right?
How long will Brandy and her brother be able to stay? Wish I was close enough to help too. Thank goodness for both you @Devonviolet and @Baymule for your friendship to Joe, and all you have done. It has to make it a little bit easier for Brandy, @LatestartersDaughter , and her brother, to deal with some of this.

We have 4 left to kid in mid March. We'll be leaving next week. We really can't wait for the goats. Unfortunately, everything is in a holding pattern. We'll be back for a couple days in April to handle a couple legal matters and Joey is going to bring some more stuff home. The last time hopefully won't be too long after and that will be to close on the house. It will be nice to get home, I feel so overwhelmed right now. The help from Devonviolet and her husband has been more than I can express. The best is having my brother and sister in law with me though!
