So sorry for the loss of your beloved Artemesia. There was research completed not long ago that concluded that goats are more intelligent than dogs and bond more closely with humans. Sounds like you & Artemesia have demonstrated they were correct. Take care of yourself & continue your own healing.

I am so sorry and heartbroken for you I have lost a goat before and know exactly how awful it is.

So sad to read this. I have been praying for a better outcome. I have been in your shoes and was feeling your struggles with every update. Sometimes we can do everything right and things still go sideways.

Glad to see you have a new addition even if he wasn’t what you expected. Look at him as a companion aka pet. Goats are social animals and three wouldn’t be a bad number if and when you get another doe.

One of the first things I do each morning is read this blog. Thank you for sharing your lives this way. It's been incredibly heartwarming, insightful, thoughtful.

I am truly sorry about your loss. Animals become family; and because of you, your animals have become my family.

I grieve with you. May God provide healing blessings.
