To lose an animal, any animal, but one you love like family is horrible. <br /><br />As for the kids...when we started no one thought we could make it, but we did. We both got jobs off the farm, did the farming after and before hours, raised kids and kept on keeping on (as you well know the drill) we gave up on stuff the other people got...kids in every activity known to mankind, lots of new clothes and CARS for the kids...we ate well, because I canned and we had our own meat and I ground our own flour. Gradually we turned a corner and we are still here farming in our 60's. (Surprised his folks that's for sure.)<br /><br />Your kids have the same fiber you and your husband have...I do believe they can do it. The example you have set will help your kids pass on 'farming' to their children. <br /><br />I just know it...I really do!<br /><br /><br />Linda<br />http://coloradofarmlife.wordpress.com <br />http://deltacountyhistoricalsociety.wordpress.comTerry and Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016496778254072639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-53510021273869114512012-04-29T07:37:37.921-04:002012-04-29T07:37:37.921-04:00Joated, she was down again last night and now she ...Joated, she was down again last night and now she is up this morning. what a roller coaster<br /><br />Linda, doesn't it just drive you crazy! Glad you had a good outcome too<br /><br />Jan, thank you for your kind words. I really appreciated them<br /><br />WW, they cost me a lot of sleep! I love the idea of a reality show. There are some now that are a lot of fun. I don't much watch TV, but there are a couple that keep sucking me in. lolthreecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-75610391267878310992012-04-28T11:44:39.525-04:002012-04-28T11:44:39.525-04:00What wonderful drama, happy ending and all.

I know that it makes my day better, knowing that someone like you loves her animals the way you do.Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-64684470109580403192012-04-28T11:20:10.035-04:002012-04-28T11:20:10.035-04:00You write so beautifully that I go through the pai...You write so beautifully that I go through the pain and joys with you whenever I come to Northview.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07145008534811435024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-19911344778790614842012-04-28T11:01:10.278-04:002012-04-28T11:01:10.278-04:00I'm so happy for you.

I rode over the hill the other day to see a cow one her back and thought "CRAP,CRAP, CRAP........she moved her head.......We got her up on her chest, she heaved herself up to her feet and waddled off and had a live calf. It made the whole day!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07183448760614051130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-21211876085560225872012-04-28T10:58:11.169-04:002012-04-28T10:58:11.169-04:00Good news!
