There are some things you have to accept if you raise animals:
1)Life
2)Death
3)health
4)sickness
5)rich or poor
Does it sound like a marriage proposal, hmmm?
"To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward till death do us part."
Yup!
We've had a few wake up calls recently... what are those anyway? "Wake-up calls" are the things that make you go hmmm? Like: Why are you hunching? Why are you shivering in 70 degree weather? What is that smell emanating from your hoof? Should your eyelid be dangling like that? Did you really think you wouldn't get stuck? Should I glove up and go in? Why were you dancing around on the metal roof anyway? Et cetera.
Well, your getting them anyway because you make life on the farm a better place.
Disclaimer: All of our critters make life on the farm a better place... some are just special.
Huckleberry was special. It is hard to paint a picture of Huckleberry. If I had to chose it would be something resembling a buddha/goat.
"If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane.
We'd would walk right up to heaven,
and bring you bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken,
not time to say, "Goodbye".
You were gone before we knew it,
and only God knows why.
Our heart still aches with sadness,
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant love you-
no one can ever know.
But now we know you want us
to mourn for you no more;
To remember all the happy times,
life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today~
A hallowed place within our hearts
is where you'll always stay."
