pic added 05/16/08 Little Mable was not doing well so Richie took her to work with him. The girls all tried to feed her and make her last day a good one. Sometimes a mom will not feed a little goat because she somehow knows something is wrong. Her brother, Buck is doing well but we lost Mable on May 15th. |
