No book prepares us for the reality of losing an animal, and watching them suffer.<BR/><BR/>I think winter is the worst too, the farther we get in the year from the sun and green food, the more we(and animals) suffer. <BR/><BR/>Hang in there - and BTW your book is beautiful!Throwback at Trapper Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12418370592659531735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238935945204503440.post-22526107930474275582009-01-24T13:00:00.000-06:002009-01-24T13:00:00.000-06:00O, tansy, I'm just getting caught up today and rea...O, tansy, I'm just getting caught up today and read this post! I am so sorry (I hope she is pulling through). I know how you feel, but don't get down enough to quit. I, too, have had my difficulties in this area this year (lost 3/5 goats bought last summer). I don't know why it is so hard to raise livestock vs. pets, but hang in there. Each illness, you are more and more equipped to handle it (e.g. know the remedies, symptoms, and problems).<BR/><BR/>Stay strong and if you need a shoulder, give me a call!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788740577135090145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238935945204503440.post-10565205973573333332009-01-24T12:19:00.000-06:002009-01-24T12:19:00.000-06:00Please don't be too hard on yourself.
