He was born too soon, eyes not even open, and see-thru hooves. Tiny and sweet, the color of honey and cream. He gave us all he had...and we loved him....for a moment. Bye, little one.

God Bless you and may the tears we shed wipe away our sorrow.

Jacob was the biggest, yet friendliest and gentle buck that I have ever seen. He will be missed.

Dear Jackpot, You were the father to my darling Kenai...and will be the father to the babies Abby has yet to have. We have 7 of your daughters, and each one is greatly treasured. You will be missed...but will live on in your kids.

"Gone but not Forgotten"

Little Love came and she left so soon She was beautiful as the stars and bright as the moon. She looked up at us with wondering eyes but she saw past us-saw into the skies. Then Little Love went on to a better way though with us is where we wanted her to stay. But now she is playing with those gone before waiting for us to come thru the door. Then we'll hold her again and forget all the years and tears, Life will again be what it should have been. Little Love with us

Maggie was a friend of mine. My best barn friend. She would greet me every time I went to the barn. When I sat in the pasture with the does, she would come up and kiss me. She would take my ear in her mouth and nibble, she would never touch me with her teeth, but would kiss me with her goat lips. Every day when I milked her, she would reach around and nuzzle and kiss me. She let me know she loved me every day. The times I slept in the barn waiting for does to go into labor or give birth, my Maggie would come and lie down with me. She was the only doe to ever do this and she did it everytime. Maggie loved me and I her. dad aka John

I knew you were special the day you were born. Like stars splashed across a black night, you were beautiful. I will miss your sweet greeting, your neck stretched forward for your hug or kiss. Maggie, you were my best friend and I will miss you terribly. You gave your life for your four beautiful boys and they will always have a home with us so you'll know just where to find them. We have named your first born Heimdall, watcher of the rainbow bridge. You'll always be in our hearts. mom aka Jan

Dear Pretty, You were the last of my foundation does. You weren't that old...but your sure went thru a lot with me and my life. I miss you...as you know you were my most favorite doe.

Your daughter Kellie...the only one you ever gave me, is now pregnant for the first time...the first Granddaughter will be named after you, my Pretty Girl.

I'm so sorry little one. You put your trust in me and I let you down. You only weighed 2lbs when you were born but you had strength enough to survive. I faithfully took you up to the house each night and returned you to the barn each morning. Your mother didnt realize she was laying on you and putting an end to your little life. If I could only have that night back and take you to the house with me. I know you would be here with me now..
