Thank you so much for your kind words. Glad you're "lurking" on my thread, please hang around!I've been a long time lurker, and have so enjoyed getting to know you and your little farm! But it just breaks my heart to hear about Dottie. I know how special she is to you, and wanted to give you my deepest sympathies
We've been working on the new barn and just came inside about 45 minutes ago. Husband checked on her as we came back to the house, said she was still about the same, refusing to eat, but can still stand up when he pets her. I'm not sure how long she can last without eating but when she quits drinking, it can't be long. If she manages to pull out of this a second time, she will not be going back into Atlas's group to save her the stress of being mated by a big, rough rooster. Could be he re-injured whatever he hurt the first time, or she could have had another mini-stroke, can't say for sure. Either she'll get better or she won't but I'm prepared for the worst.How is Dottie doing this afternoon??
