Despite our best efforts, Fuzzy died yesterday afternoon. The kids were absolutely devastated. I know it is a hard lesson, and one we sometimes shield our kids from, but death is a part of life. We really tried hard. I am not sure what happened. She drank her lunch bottle and by the time the kids got home from school she was almost gone. She died a short time later. Everyone feels responsible for it, but I wonder if maybe the mother goat sensed something about her and that is why she rejected her. It's not clear. A friend's husband also passed away yesterday, after a hard fought battle with cancer. It was a hard day.
sweet friend, death is one of those hard things in life. with all the devastation from the fires in our county there has been a lot of death of livestock on farms and ranches. Though it's not ours personally, our kids have had a lot of discussions about other kids who lost pets, cattle, etc. Loss and goodbyes are just hard!
