What did you do today?

[Taffy]

Well...........today my my friend and I gave Dude 120cc of mineral oil. I brought him into the milk room to give him his Cydectin and that went beautifully. I had all of the items that could freeze placed in a box and ready to take into the house for the winter. Dude grabbed a rubber glove that was stretched over the top of one of the teat dip applicators. I grabbed him, opened his mouth and Diona looked in and could see the glove. I held his mouth open while she tried to reach for it and the darn goat swallowed! I called Matt the vet and he said to give Dude 120cc of mineral oil. Matt said it will probably sit in his rumen for the rest of his life. Dude will probably have some loose stools.

Tomorrow Curtis King, Eldon & Debbi Otta and I are going to weigh all of our goats on our bale scale (we use it to weigh bales as they come out of the baler) and then go hiking in Horse Heaven Hills south of my farm. It's a gorgeous area full of basalt outcroppings and overlooking the Columbia River. It's my last hike of the year. I have knee surgery on Tuesday.
