I wrestled with the idea of selling my goats for awhile now.I didn`t want to,but they need new pasture to run in & I found the perfect home for them.I will try to move the photos from my email where they are now romping with Steve to this blog later,I will have to revamp this whole thing. I still have much mohair to be washed ,so I won`t be out of fiber for awhile.
The dh has been going downhill in his health again & this week we`ll have to go to UPMC for some testing.It is best the goats be with someone who already loves them & will be able to give them proper attention as I may not be able to do.
Well,I was feeling sad about the empty spot outside & the quietness of no baying everytime I went outdoors,& my word,my friend Cathleen calls out of the blue & asks me if I`ll take an all white male albino red-eyed long haired kitten from her farm.I went over to have a look,& ended up taking all 4 kittens.They are only about 4 weeks old & their mother is already pregnet again.I fear they may have not lived if I didn`t take them.You all know how I`ve wrestled with taking the kittens in the past,but this time I felt a conscious push to take them all.I was only expecting 1,of course,but he was curled up with all his siblings.
Their eyes are all matted together.I began by giving them a bath with the lice treatment,now I`m washing their eyes out 3 times a day with warm water & Johnson`s baby shampoo.It is gentle enough for humans,my eye doctor tells me to do that alot for myself.I don`t see ear mites but treated them anyhow as both Simba & Zeke had them terrible.I now have 8 cats,my 2,my mom`s 2,& now these 4.I expect to be able to find homes for them,but we are getting attached already,especially our son & the dh.I`m the one who`s the nasty one coming at them for the treatments they dislike all the time.I have them in a big cage,not ready to let them run about yet.Maggie,sweet Maggie had the calico all but in her mouth before I realized she was coming at her as if she was a treat!So,hopefully they will be alright & grow up healthy.
If you look at the kitten in the second picture,the one to the clear left,his ear lobe is huge,but not torn or anything,I don`t know what`s up with that.
