Attacked

Yesterday, I did not post anything. I had such a busy, hectic day, the blog was completely forgotten about. Our ram, Hero, was attacked by a dog. He's going to be ok, but he does have some injuries that will take a while to heal. He suffered a lot of bites, the worst being to his scrotum. Half of the skin on it is missing, leaving one testicle completely exposed. Yeah, ouch. We're doing all we can to keep it clean and infection free. We may need to call in the vet on this one and have him castrated. Unfortunately, we don't have any vets around here that you can just call to chat with about the situation before taking them in, and the visits for anything that isn't your basic house pet are really expensive. Expensive is not good right now. We'll see though, poor Hero can't just walk around with his testicles out. I have learned that farm animals are tough creatures, they survive things you would never think they could. Hero is up and walking around, slowly and with a limp, but I'm sure he'll be ok. I hope we can keep his manhood in tact after this is all said and done, it would be nice to have some lambs.

So since this isn't a very nice story to share today, I'll close with a funny pic; Goober using his horns to scratch his back. He uses them for this, ruining fences, and ramming John and I when we turn our backs.

Look at that belly!
