Baby Lucy

Baby Lucy is gone. If you remember, Lucy was the last one of triplets that were born in November. She had to be pulled and I left her for dead only to see her gasp for breath a minuet or so later. The momma goat abandoned all three and we took all of them in the house to raise from the bottle. Out of the three she was the only one that made it past a couple of days. We knew she would not live more than a week or so but Lucy struggled on and surprised us.
In her short lifetime she has been abandoned, squished in the Lazy boy, set herself on fire from the heat lamps, cooked herself in front of the fire place and just recently almost froze to death, but she still managed to live through it all. She is like a cat with nine lives one of my girls said.
Being that she was inbreed and a little slow, we knew we would never be able to breed her or sell her. You could say she is a special needs goat if there is such a thing. Today we found that special someone that needs her more than we did. As a gift, we gave Lucy to a special little girl that will love her and care for her better than anyone could.  I know she will be spoiled rotten.
Even though Lucy is a goat and you are not supost to get attached to farm animals, Lucy was special. Now I'm not being soft here, I can eat any one of the chickens, rabbits or goats if it came down to it, but this little goat will be missed, how can it not be.
I wish the little girl and her family all the luck in raising her and I hope Lucy brings them as much joy as she brought us.

Also I wanted to say howdy to three new members of the Modern Day Redneck family.
