A Goat's View of Eden Hills: All Goats Go To Heaven

All Goats Go To Heaven

It's true you know. All goats go to Heaven. It has to happen sooner or later one way or another. We just sent our wonderful goatie sister, Cutie, to the ultimate forever farm. We got lab results back, and the reason Cutie had such achy joints was CAE.

Cutie

If you've never heard the story of how we came to live with the human at Eden Hills, she got us when we were very, very young and sick-coccidiosis, frost bite, and infections. Now she knows the last of the health problems we came with. CAE.

I will be nine-years-old in a couple of weeks. I'm happy. I love my life and my herd and my human.

I do have days though when my lungs rattle, and I get a bit tired. Now the human can quit that hovering and asking if I'm okay and what's wrong with me. Now she knows.

I do plan on enjoying every day that I have left here, and if the winter isn't too bad, I might even make it to my tenth birthday!

Now, don't give me sympathy because you'll start my goofy human to crying again.

I'm sorry that you've lost Cutie and hope that you enjoy all the sunny, basking days and treats that you can handle! xoxoxoxo; January 16, 2013 at 2:53 PM

I have to remind myself of that more frequently than I'd like. What really gets my goat is that after all the testing you do, the tests are never 100% accurate and that false positives and negatives do happen or you're negative for years and then all of a sudden you've got a positive! Anyway, those are my hang ups. We humans just want our critters to be happy and healthy. I'm wishing you many more happy and healthy years Millie!; January 16, 2013 at 5:27 PM
