Talking From sick and starving to fat and sassy!!!

I'm not sure if any of you will remember my post from several months ago about my little bottle baby doeling that had been starved and left in filth when I tried to board her at the farm she was born at. Well I saw her today and WOW!!! She has grown like crazy....looks like she is close to 70 pounds. We had her out browsing and playing on the rocks. She was leaping off them in great goat style!!! I'd like to thank everyone who was so helpful and encouraging to me when I posted. Her runny nose still comes and goes but we feel it is probably an allergy as many of you suggested.
I'm afraid I don't have any pics this time. My head is not completely attached lately and I forgot my camera. Sadly I lost my Mother on Mother's Day from Ovarian Cancer....all you ladies out there please find out about this nasty nasty disease, it shows very subtle symptoms early,when it is most treatable but by the time they get to the point most people go to the doc it is usually too late....I am also 7 months pregnant! So needless to say all rational thought has gone out the window!
I promise next time I am out I will get pics of my girl! SHe is also in the process of shedding her winter coat so she is a bit manky anyways! But she is growing bigger every day. And in typical goat fashion getting chased out of the barn owner's rose bush every day They love her there and she does well with the horses.
So once again, thank you all for all you great advice and encouragement. I hope to be able to post more and more Nova stories and pics for you!!! Take care all!!!
