Orphan No More

Poor little Goosey is no more. What I was afraid of happened. On Monday morning, Goosey was gone. We've lost some chickens, too, so there must be some creature higher up on the food chain prowling about at night. It was sad to loose Goosey. He was growing and doing well, and so happy in his new home. I feel badly that we couldn't do a better job of protecting him. But when you have animals, you can expect to have some disappointing bumps in the road. Even though it hurts to loose our animal friends - sometimes it really hurts - you don't have to look far to find folks who are hurting much worse. So, I'm thankful we got to enjoy Goosey for a few weeks, watching him grow and change. He was a sweet ray of sunshine for a little while.
