We are probably going to lose our boy Tramp anyday. He sadly had a stroke a while ago and in the past few days is not doing well. No suffering, just kind of tired and giving up. We will probably find a new home for his girl Katie and take a break from goats for a while. Hope it all works out with Brownie and Murph.Kerry O'Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14951445594586971908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-52651481905401116902012-01-11T20:47:05.603-08:002012-01-11T20:47:05.603-08:00What a hard call to make, knowing how you love all...What a hard call to make, knowing how you love all your "babies".

If anyone can give him the environment to thrive and get better, you and the Prospector can. Please keep us updated on his progress. I know that I speak for your other readers when I say that we all have a special place in our hearts for your little goat.Deborahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002468510668438210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-19604170791186784912012-01-10T17:31:56.917-08:002012-01-10T17:31:56.917-08:00Oh I am so sorry about poor Brownie I have a soft ...Oh I am so sorry about poor Brownie I have a soft spot for him he has had to endure more adversity than is fair for any goat!<br />But it ended better than I was afraid it would so I'm thankful for that, Farmlady.<br />Here in Phx it has been unseasonably warm too & we are wishing for colder weather & rain.<br />For eons climate has changed from hot to cold, what makes us think that will ever NOT be the case?!Roslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072175456185500751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-69153901920470025922012-01-10T17:24:45.640-08:002012-01-10T17:24:45.640-08:00sigh of relief! after reading that mental p mama h...sigh of relief! after reading that mental p mama has breast cancer and the description of brownie I was thinking this was turning into a bummer of an evening. you had me going in a totally different direction!

I thought you had Brownie put down the way you were talking. <br />It's been raining here for days.<br />I have discovered that I'm going to be one of those old ladies that can forcast the weather by the "achin in me bones" <br /><br />now you cheer up and read that beautiful book while i catch my breath.Karen Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892103639142471595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-87784403753704532142012-01-10T14:55:57.737-08:002012-01-10T14:55:57.737-08:00Congratulations on your win!

Looks like a really interesting book.<br /><br />I'm sorry about your having to make such a decision; I know it must have been very hard, even if it was the right thing to do. I hope Brownie feels stronger every day. Poor guy, he's really had a time of it. Sounds like he and Murphy get along well and I'm sure Brownie is relieved that he won't be picked on any more. Give him a little pat on the head for me! :) Hugs to you! xxxsusanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704084132045240366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-7693524563756803032012-01-10T14:12:21.758-08:002012-01-10T14:12:21.758-08:00It's fun to win something, isn't it?

How very kind and caring you and the Prospector are I know the other two goats will be fine, and you will not have to worry about Brownie anymore. It was sad-yes--but you've worked it out.<br /><br />I don't think I've ever commented here--but I've read you a lot. Found you from Peach's blog, I believe. :)Bluebird49https://www.blogger.com/profile/01195892307835553912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-76481698543826042052012-01-10T13:44:18.269-08:002012-01-10T13:44:18.269-08:00I know this has been a tough decision for the Pros...I know this has been a tough decision for the Prospector and you, but you considered it from every angle and I think it will all work out for the best.
