Sometimes photos give a false image because how the mind sees it.
Yarrow at first glance has an awfully long tail? Enlarge the photo and
take a better look. But between the length of her tail and she is holding
her paws very close together it may appear longer than it really is.
Trouble is a sweet doe and on first look because the large appearance
of her head and that she is standing with her left shoulder to the
back opps! Where is the rest of her left side?
Dude is exactly what he appears to be. A ginger cat chilling at the cats favorite
gopher hunting grounds. He is maybe not as close to the hay covered by tarps
as you would think.
Say "hello" to Nutmeg . Nutty is a nine year old doe She appears larger on
her right side than her left. Opps again. She is larger on the left as she
is facing us . Our mind tends to want us to believe that it is right , right?
Or maybe it is our right?
Having your right side almost as large as your left gives us the illusion
that her rumen may be larger than normal. Should we be worrying about
her since she is fussing over it and licking. MMMMM could be a sign of pain
and bloat???!
Well now that is better or is it? If a goat indeed carries her rumen on
her left what could possibly be going on to make her look symmetrical??
This is Mama Cat. She is both Dude and Esmeralda's mother.
Mama cat as you can see is a very limited view of life under the
milk stand. She is reminding us that things aren't always how
we see them or interpret it. Mama says think outside of the box.
Could a rumen full of frothy bloat push so hard that the other
organs are being moved into the the right? Not likely because
if it was we would have a doe in a world of hurt and most likely
a down doe also. The more likely cause is a happy ending. The rumen
is more pronounced because, drum roll please. Walnetto Farm is delighted to
invite you to join us mid March for the first kids to be born on the
new homestead. And thanks for wadding through my extreme goofy kid
announcement. 💗
