Onion Creek Oberhhasli Tragedy!!!!
#24
Sorry for the delay in updating on the fire aftermath and Miss Belle.  
Belle went blind in her right eye but was able to get around just fine.  She is no longer the passive doe she used to be before the fire.  Belle has decided to move up in the ranks.  I kept her with the sheep for about 5 weeks to let her heal up without the added stress of meeting new goats (like I said before, I maintain separate doe herds in the winter).  She was quite happy being the herd queen of the sheep!  Back to her eye.  I was planning on putting some eyebright tea wash in the affected eye once her scabs had fallen off and her face wasn't so sore and tender.  In the meantime, I just prayed over her, for sight to be fully restored.  God is so good and within two weeks, her eye is clear and she has full sight!  It also looks like she may have kept her pregnancy!  We'll know more in the next three weeks for sure (one way or another).  She went through the whole "Bionic Goat" stage with the scabs and scarring.  She also lost her ears, at least half of them.  I came out one day and they were gone!  Never did find them.  They were burned pretty badly, so they likely just fell off.  Through it all, she has maintained a happy, and persevering attitude.  I've been documenting Belle's progress in the different stages.  I won't post pictures of her for about another month though.  It's still a little graphic for some.  Just so happy for the progress she's made!  I still call her pretty girl.  To me, she is still so beautiful!  Her attitude is so amazing and such a blessing!
  I am getting the materials collected right now for the big barn.  It's going to be in a different location from where the original barn was, but closer to the water source.  Plenty of fire escape options are being planned into this new barn.  More info on that coming as progress is made. We also put up two additional smaller barns/sheds in the former "baby pen" (now just the goat pen).  Everybody has shelter and space now.  Thank you to my brothers and the other family for working so hard to get these up!
  I had a few does that were in that baby pen due after the fire.  Dee kidded with triplets (one of which was a doeling), and Twister had twins (one of each). Dee's daughter is named Jasmine Hope.  Twister's little girl is Dóchas (hope in Gaelic).  Thank you to those who have offered doelings!  Some have already arrived.  It has done me so much good to see those little babies bouncing, jumping, and flinging all around.❤️
  Thank you again to everyone for your prayers and support!  It means so much to my family and I!
