This is the little guy I was posting about. I'm very sad to say that he died last night. He developed a stress ulcer from everything that he went through, and it killed him pretty quickly. Just yesterday afternoon it looked as if he'd made a major improvement -he was even trotting around the pasture, wide-eyed at the new world all around him. An hour later he was barely moving. And it just continued downhill from there. Rest in peace, little Donatello.

I'm so sorry. How's Delilah doing?

She was pretty bad this morning; it was heartbreaking watching her literally running back and forth from the pasture to the barn looking for her baby. She stayed off by herself for a while, but later in the afternoon she was back with the herd. As sad as it is that something so young dies, it's even worse watching the grief of the mothers.
