Goat-O-Rama Kids of 2020

[Nanno]

Butterfly has been living with the herd full-time for the last few days and she's loving it! My criteria for moving her out of the house at night and allowing her to roam unsupervised was that she had to be able to easily jump in and out of the shelters by herself (there's a 12" lip at the entrance to each one), and she passed that milestone quicker than I thought possible. She keeps up with the other kids and she's climbing rocks and hopping, albeit with slightly wobbly hind legs. She wants to jump up on my knees like the others are currently doing, but so far she's not quite able to. I think stretching her hind legs out behind her still hurts. But I anticipate she'll start jumping on my knees in the next few days. She now gets up properly by raising her hind end instead up pulling herself up by her front legs. Her rump angle is still steep and her hips aren't quite symmetrical, but they are slowly improving. She can hold her tail up a little higher each day, which is a tell-tale sign that her rump angle is flattening bit by bit. I don't know if it will ever be 100% normal, but I think even if her pelvis is always a little "off" it's not going to give her any discomfort or mobility problems. Yay Butterfly!!
