My Oh My - what did the neighbor see??? An eye full!!
I luckily have no pictures Thank Goodness
This morning I drug myself to the couch with a body that was full of pain.. I lay there wishing to just rise above my body and have some peace.. After about an hour I decided just to get up and start my day because it was not going to get any better.
I came into the kitchen and was trying to think of what to eat when I looked out the south window and grabbed the field glasses. There was my sweet Goldie (bottle Baby and shadow to my every move) hanging from the fence. I saw no movement from her - PANIC !!!!
I ran out the kitchen door, down the stairs and through the backyard, flung open the gates and ran the length of the large pasture to get to her. As I am getting about 100 yards to her I started calling her name - she answered but with a very weak voice. As I reached her she had managed not only to get herself stuck but she was hanging off the ground. I am blessed that unlike the other older goats she knows to just let me do what needs to be done if she wishes to be saved. Just as I am bent over the neighbor comes up their driveway.. I was so busy saving my sweet one I did not realize he was creepy slowly down the driveway. After I stood up with Goldie in my hands and being kissed and hugged I realized -- I am in my skimpy underwear and no top. With the heat at night I admit no long johns and turtle necks for my sleepwear. Not that it matters because my Goldie was alive and not too badly hurt but this gal is not use to thinking about body image or what people think of my looks... I wished I could say this was the first time this happened but ask my UPS man - he still blushes when he delivers a package...
So moral to the story - you can step out of yourself and your pain when someone you love is in trouble. Also, people should keep their eyes forward when driving or they may get an eye full that will burn their eyeballs for hours....

So glad your Goldie is going to be OK, won't say anything about the rest of your story.
I'm so glad sweet Goldie was okay!! Now I don't feel so bad about going down to milk the goat in the mornings in my nightgown! :)
Thanks ladies - I have checked on Golie several times during the day just to make sure all the drama did not make her bloat or have breathing problems. Each time with clothes on...
She was overly clingy but so was I. She is fine but I did give her a long lecture each time about the horror of reaching for greener grass on the other side.
Candy I know I have done more chores then I can count in nightgowns... We should design a farm girl chore nightgown - Oh I am hearing a business op in this..
Poor Goldie - glad you found her in time and that she's recovering from the ordeal. And, really now, the rest of your story is just too funny!! I do morning chores in my jammies, too, and I may or may not have ocassionally gone out without pants on. :D

Been there, done that. I figure it gives the neighborhood something to talk about ;) Hope Goldie is on the mend and never does that again.
