Just a Quick Update:

I posted on the Open Thread a few days ago about my buck, Stinky, and how he had maybe broken his back. Well, he didn't. He probably had a stroke and... and... he's recovering! He's standing, he's walking, he's eating grain out of the grain bucket with his son, Ozzie. It's been about a week now since the probable stroke happened.

Here's a pic, to prove he can stand:

Stinky late on the 22nd, eating his grain like a good boy should - while standing!

This is a lovely holiday miracle, just lovely. I hope everyone else's holidays have just as good news and lots of fun and lots of good memory making!

He's still doing well, a few days later. Woot!

At least! He's recovered enough to start doing bucky goat things. Stinky is the word!

@QMS , are you sure about that? Sounds like some goats are trying to horn in on reindeer jobs. And that elf guy is a peeping tom.
