Last night I had to say goodbye to my beloved Collie, Jenny! Very sad, but unknown to us she had become diabetic. Sunday we started her with insulin but she wouldn't eat and although with the vets advice we tried her with glucose, by Monday evening, after her not moving all day, we had another blood test done and it appeared she had severe liver damage. So with many tears I said my goodbyes.
Jenny had been there with all the goat births - she thought every single kid was exclusively hers! Kidding just won't be the same without her and she will be sorely missed. Her other love was catching the bubbles from my bath water! I did shed a big tear in the bath last night when I had put a little too many bubbles in and there was no one to catch them! The bathroom seemed very empty.
In the picture here Jenny is in the foreground, then there is Jake, my mother's German Shepherd (who we also lost earlier in the year) along with Dolly. What a year it's been! I am sure that the two of them will be chasing goats together in the next life! Dolly is feeling a little lost but we still have Kiri's dog, Missy for company for her.
