Thanks. Hershey,Tally and Rio are going to Nehimama. They will have a great home with her. Bella and Joy are going to Tin Mom, and they too will have a great home. And Bigwig has also found a home where he will be loved and happy.

They will all be safe and with people who know goats and will care for them. I couldn't ask for more since I can't keep them. At least I won't have to worry about them and I won't have to see them pop up for sale on craigslist and click on the ad and see them skinny,scruffy, and neglected.

I'm sorry for what you're going through but am glad your goats are going to nice homes and will be well cared for.

Audra,
I have been off line for awhile. I was "shopping" on craigslist and saw your advertisement for the two bucks. I have been looking for information as to what happened? and why you were selling.
I understand completely and sympathize with your difficult decision. Know that when you are ready to go back into the goats you will have many folks eager to help you get restarted. Hang on to your milking equipment!

Thank you Hobbit. This has been extremely hard. BigWig left this morning. All of the others will leave this afternoon. Things are going to be very empty without my sweet Munchies here.

They're all gone now. All of my goats are off to their new homes and it is soooo empty here. I miss them.

They made it safe & sound here for the stop over until they can make it to Nehimama. They are all doing well, but look a little lost.

My heart hurts for you too, my friend. Joy & Bella will be well loved here. Dd13 announced on the way home that she wants Joy for her own.

{{{{Hugs}}}}

I'm glad you were able to find them all good homes. I'll have to try and keep track of them from a greater distance and see how they are doing. Thanks for giving some of my wonderful goats a chance to get out in the world.

We were glad to add progeny of your goats to our herd. We have had a couple of friends stop by over the last couple of days & they commented on OBF Almond Joy & Ronan and how beautiful & sweet they are. BigWig throws nice kids!

Thank you very much. That makes me feel pretty good about life right now.

It looks like the girls and Rio have already settled in nicely. Milking time was a DREAM. Nice, nice, NICE girls, your Tally and Hershey. Thank you again, and I'm sorry for your loss, but at the same time, happy for my gain. (I hate to sound all happy when you're so sad. . .)

(((huggggggggggs)))

I am very happy for your gain. It was heart breaking to let them go, but comforting knowing that everyone is in good homes.

Oh, Audra, I only just now found out b/c of your FB post.

I can't even begin to know how awful you must feel. {hugs}
