Boots as a baby |
Sweet.
As I was cleaning up from Wedding Belles babies I noticed that Boots was pawing and pacing. Before too long she laid down to push. She hadn't pushed very much
when she delivered two long front legs and no head. I reach in and found the head way back but could not get the head to stay in the right position to be born. I called my friend and fellow goat farmer who just happens to have very small hands and asked her to please come. She pulled her little girl off the school bus and the two of them flew to my rescue. But alas she had the same problem.
Boots was loaded up in the jeep and rushed to the vet where they tried and tried but to no avail. At least they had drugs to dull her pain and then ultimately put her out of her misery. We delivered the dead kids C Section. These were my zoo babies.
Two spotty blue eyed bucklings....just what I'd ordered.

Rest in peace my dear little Boots.

:*(*** Swift journey Boots & bucklings! Will you be able to replace these bucks with other kids?
Oh, no. Not Boots. I am SO VERY sorry. (((((((((((((((Wendy)))))))))))))))))))))
NO NO NO!!! Not my sweet Boots!!
Oh, I am so sorry. I'm crying over here like she was mine and I only met her once. She was such a sweet little thing - giving me loves and hugs. My little goat farm ambassador.
This sucks.
Lindsey, you are thinking of her mother Buttons. Buttons is the farm ambassador. Boots was a nice goat too but didn't go for the hospitality stuff.
I am in tears.
I am so sorry to hear this. It's always scary when they go into labor.
I just hate to hear this. It's aways hard to lose one.
Seriously? I cannot keep anything straight. Someone get me some damn fish oil, the brain is goin'!
I'm relieved Buttons is still around. But sad, sad, sad that Boots is gone. I looked back at my pictures from our visit and remember Buttons now.
Just hold onto your new perfect babies - they are delightful and so very pretty.
Not Boots!!
And her kids.
I am crying at work over this.
I'm so sorry.
I accidently deleted your kind comment farmerswife. Sorry and Thank you.
Thank you everyone. Just think about it, Boots was one lucky little goat that so many people cared about her. Not many goats can say that!
I'm so so sorry.
Nice and lovely
