Still Joy

Keeping animals is difficult. When you lose one, it's heartbreaking, but you just keep going. All the joy they bring is worth the heartache. 

Case in point, I got all sorts of special moments today. Fudge ran up to me for petting and still let me pick him up. He's getting heavy now, so I usually don't. But he let me cuddle him and he cuddled back. Ewenique came up to me and sniffed my fingers allowing me the barest of chin scratches. Flora tried to cuddle me while I was in the mule, she actually got her horn stuck and she let me calmly help her out. And sweet soon to be Mom Maesie let me give her a full body light massage. Hey, I remember when I was pregnant, massages are great! 

We think it was bloat that got to Coorie. So today, we picked up some bloat blocks (I don't know what they're actually called, but they're blocks they lick to reduce the chance of bloat). There was a literal line of cows waiting to take their turn at the block. We bought two, but decided to start with one. Here's hoping for a lot more special moments ahead!
