Yoda
« on: January 26, 2013, 04:28:54 pm »
Our sweet little Yoda died overnight. Been a concern for a while as she never seemed to develop very well. I posted about her spilling cud some time ago which we never did get to the bottom of. She also always looked 'tucked up', like dogs do when they're not right, tail between the legs kinda thing. Our lambs had a bad dose of Cocci last year and I believe Yoda's stomach function may have been compromised as a result. She didn't put on much weight at all and when it came to giving the flock hay she always prefered to try and find some grass. We did give her extra feed and her tummy filled out nicely for a wee while but it never stayed like that for long. She got lots of extra love and cuddles and was a devoted little thing but was always on the fringes but for one other little girl who sometimes kept her company. We loved her so much and will miss her terribly. We always thought she'd never make old bones though and we'd never have sold her. Doesn't help with the heartache.  :'(

It goes with the territory, alas.  Some just aren't good doers.  When anything dies or goes to slaughter, we know that, however short their life, they had the best they possibly could have had.

So sorry Pedwardine - you really have been through the mill lately. I know it doesn't help with the upset, but you really did do all you could for the poor wee thing.
