Saddie



PapaMom called to tell us today that Papa lost another goat. Saddie was one of the original goats we got when Jessica and I were about 12 & 13. We had been to a petting zoo and after coming home had bugged dad to get us two baby goats. Aunt Mary Jo got in on it and said she'd buy the goats if we could keep them at our house. Of course we started out like every kid with a new pet and woke up early before school to bottle feed the little goats. Before long dad was taking care of the goats and they became his little project. A few years later we added a third goat to the mix and a couple years ago a friend's father had a goat he could no longer take care of, so dad adopted her. This past year both Molly and Sammy died, leaving the two original goats Sydney and Saddie. Now poor Sydney is all alone. Dad plans to get a new goat in the spring so Sydney isn't all alone, Jessica has started looking alredy.

You brought tears to my eyes, sorry to hear about Saddie.

Take care, Aunt Lois
