No kidding

You may have noticed the goat on blog. Well, his name is Buddy and he has been with us since the summer of 2000. He was a gift from the owner of a ranch that Jennie worked at during her last year of college in Fort Collins.

Buddy has developed a bump on the left side of his jawbone. It kind of looks like he has a wad of tobacco in his cheek. Unfortunately, the Vet has diagnosed it as a cancer. In addition to the bump, there has been a lot of foamy spittle on his mouth and by him early in the morning. I'm assuming this is from him chewing his cud all night and the bump.

So... we've been left in a quandary of sorts. A biopsy would cost a whole lot.

Any how, he continues to be a good goat, eating some of the weeds we put in front of him.
