Saying Goodbye to Our JellyBean Girl

June 14, 2014 By Sherri

Sherri and JellyBean Girl Taking a Nap. SherriConnell.com We had to say goodbye to our JellyBean Girl today.

JellyBean used to fall asleep on my chest and make sweet baby noises! She loved her Mommy and Daddy so much. We miss her beyond words! 

I had a special song just for her. JellyBean would instantly lay down and fall asleep. I sang this to her before she passed away.

JellyBean Girl, my JellyBean Girl She’s so sweet, she’s so wonderful She’s my JellyBean, JellyBean Girl JellyBean Girl, my JellyBean Girl

Goodbye, my sweet JellyBean! Thank you for being such an amazing friend and companion. I will see you on the other side!

June 10, 2014: Please say a  prayer for us and our JellyBean Girl. Please pray she gets better (highly unlikely) goes on her own or we know without a doubt when it is time for us to intervene.

JellyBean has been in horrible pain for a year with a lame leg. She is 14 and that is pretty old for a goat. I feel terrible about her pain. I have done everything humanly possible to help her with special diets and supplements, as well as pain medications. I have talked to my vet and she agreed that as long as she has a will to live, eats and gets out, we should let her. But she is taking a turn. Today, she went out in the grass, wouldn’t eat much and was there all day. I went down and sat with her several times and she talked to me, looked in my eyes and I told her what a great goat she has been and how much I love her. Wayne had to help her back into her house when he got home. She has always been so kind, gentle and sweet. She was my “lap goat.” She melts in my arms and falls asleep when I sing to her. She has been an amazing friend. It’s all expected, but never easy.

April 22, 2014. My poor JellyBean Girl has been dealing with severe arthritis in her leg. Now I had to have the vet over to drain an abscess. She left a drain in it. Ewwweee!! Her bedding needs to be clean, so my ANGEL, Bree Villyard came over to clean out her house! What would I do without her?? Thank you, Bree!! This picture is from when JB was about a year old. She is now 14. That is pretty old for a goat. My vet says she has had one live till she was 16. If it weren’t for her horrible leg, I would bet she would break a world record! Please say a prayer for her, because she has been in horrible pain. But my vet agrees that she still has a lot of fight in her. She is amazing! Yet, if she doesn’t go on her own, the time will come all too soon for me to make a decision. I will miss this sweet baby!

Mission Impossible: Punkie Plots Her Escape!

October 31, 2013 By Sherri

Punkie Plans EscapePumpkin Pie is quite the little conniver! She keeps dragging the step stool and chairs about 25 feet over to the gate, trying to figure out how to get out!

She is even trying to lift up the metal bars to unlock the latch (which is very hard for even humans to do). I caught her on video just after she moved the stool and was trying to figure out how to get out!

You are too smart for your britches, Punkie!

Where Do Babies Come From? The Pumpkin and Cookie Story!

September 6, 2013 By Sherri

Coming Home Day CopyrightedCome with me on a journey of where and how Pumpkin and Cookie became a part of our family. Enjoy!

We decided it was time to have some babies in our lives! I scoured all the nearby Nigerian Dwarf Goat farms to find just the right ones. We drove around looking and looking for people who raised these precious creatures with care and lots of love.

Then I found Black Forest Rascals online. I was watching their page as they added pictures of their babies as they were born. I feel in love with this red and white doe immediately! I knew sheLil Forest Red Doe 2 was just what I was looking for. After what I had been through with losing our miniature horse, I thought it would be very appropriate to have a baby with similar colors – red and white paint with blue eyes.

I sent them an email and we hopped in the car to go see her and some others south of us. Sadly, the owners didn’t get my email until the next day. Apparently, someone else came in the meantime and said they wanted this little baby!

But I had my heart set on her. I just knew she was meant to be. The next week, we went down there to visit the farm. Just before we left, the owner, Deb told me on the phone that she talked with the person who had said she wanted her and she said she would pick another if I really wanted her! Wow!

Cookie and Sherri CopyrightedOf course, we got there and there was still no doubt she was going home with us! It was love at first site for her and Daddy, too! The only hang-up was that she was super shy. With my experience with my late Oreo, I know that when they leave the farm shy, they usually stay that way. They need to be worked with as infants.

Deb and her daughter Alison love their goats, take very good care of them and take the time to socialize them. Without hesitation, they offered to commit to working with her until we were able to pick her up at 8 weeks old! Yay!!

Long story short, we still needed another to go with her, we couldn’t decide until one of them jumped up in my lap and made herself comfortable. Next thing we know, she jumps in Wayne’s lap! So SHE chose us!

Watch the video above for a story-book look at our journey!

Thank you, Lil Forest Rascals in Black Forest, CO for raising healthy, happy and loving babies! www.LilForestRascals.com

We are so glad the goats were evacuated before the Black Forest Fire reached Lil Forest Rascals. But our hearts go out to you for losing your home, out-buildings and cattle to this horrific fire in June 2013. The fire burned 16,000 acres, over 500 homes, killed 2 people and many animals.
