I'm so happy for you all. Funny, I can see myself struggling to keep Matilda out, too, when the easier and more helpful thing was to let her in. There's so much to learn, isn't there? Hector looks so precious in his pristine bed.CentennielMagnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256656771993531467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-81500868150640259042015-03-24T23:49:36.025-07:002015-03-24T23:49:36.025-07:00Hooray!!!

Pressure caused by passage through the birth canal helps to expel secretions from the lungs and upper respiratory tract (at least in humans), so maybe the backwards passage through the birth canal didn't have the normal results. Whatever the cause of the difficulty, he seems to have gotten past it.

A few years back, we arrived in the barn to find a brand new baby goat. We weren't expecting it to arrive, so we hadn't penned up the doe, kind of like the Amy and Hector story. We checked around the barn for babies, put the doe and kid into a birthing pen, and started checking them out. As the doe started doing her 'momma talk' to her baby, I realized that I could hear another baby goat somewhere. We searched the barn high and low, but could find no signs of another baby. Then I just slowed down and watched. What I discovered was this doe's baby from last year, that was now getting ready to be a mom herself, was answering her mother in a baby goat 'voice'. I was astounded. I guess once a baby, always a baby when your mom is around. Right? This is a great story, and proof that even though they are animals and livestock, there are so many things that we will never understand about them. Great story, Patrice.
