A Call For A Medic

It was a call for a medic this morning. Our old goat ( well she isn't that old but she is abit old) Granny May had broke her leg. Mom checked all the goats this morning and sure enough she found Granny May with a fractured bone.

Dad cut up some splints from his wood. I guess you could say that I was the nurse and Mom was the Doctor. I ran inside to find some good holding tape. I couldn't find any so I was going to ask Dad where some tape was.


Dad had some in his pocket. I ran and got the splints and tape. Dad and I were having a conversation about the situation and Mom in the goat pen was yelling "this is an emergency" I gave the splints and tape to Mom so that she could put them on each side of the leg and the tape will hold them together. The first set of splints were to short and they weren't wide enough.

Mom said that I had to ask Dad to double the size and make it wider. The request was promptly explained to dad, as I was running back and forth back and forth to Mom and Dad. We finished the leg and it looked very nice. She is able to walk on it but she's limping.



I did all the dishes this morning with abit of help from Mom. She dried a few dishes while Jesse came up and grabbed the case of water that we had bought yesterday.
Today I am making Brownies. The Dynna boys are known to eat them ALOT, and fast.

I am going to hide a few so that I can save them for company or later after the boys are gone.

Lesson Learned

Today Reggie learned a good lesson. This morning Reggie and I went to the bee pond. There is a nice bench beside the bee pond. We sat on the bench looking over the mountains. Hepsabah my cat was clasping her paws and grabbing onto the bee's.

Reggie thought oh what fun! He went over and tried what Hepsabah did. With great fascination he watched the bee buzz around his head and around his feet and around his body.

And suddenly opened his mouth and snapped at the bee. To his great horror this tiny little bee shocked him right out of his wits by stinging his tiny little foot. He looked over at me with the most pleading helpless countenance as if to say ``Oh Kaylee Kaylee help me``.

I'd never let him know but in all truth he deserved it for trying to kill the bee. I had to keep my self from bursting out with laughter as I called him to me and soothed his aching tiny little foot.

To show him that I really did care about his little bee sting, I consoled him and wrapped his tiny little foot in toilet paper. I think he was thankful for the attention that I gave to his tiny little foot.

For the rest of the day he favored that one foot and stayed very close to my side and did not want to go near the bee pond.
