Amazing what love can do

She has got very demanding - shouting for her food, then her water, then her hay.  I tried telling her there are a lot of other animals to be fed, but she looked up at me, as if to say "but I am ill, so deal with me NOW!"

I have even been warming her water slightly to take off the chill ........Pampered or what?!!!

Whenever it gets cold mine stop drinking the cold water ... not sure if that's pampering them, they won't drink unless it's lukewarm... not much choice really...

Great news Roxy....I don't drink cold water when its cold out either....nothing wrong with creature comforts

Been reading about this in the last few days apparently goats can not use the water in their systems until it reaches body temp. So they are using energy to warm the water, so when ill or cold they are using reserves needed for other things as well as causing a delay in re hydration

Thats interesting, its sometimes quite hard to drink very cold water for humans too  unless its a hot day or you are very thirsty!!
