IF A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS ARE SEVEN WORTH SEVEN THOUSAND?

   

                        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. 💗
