Returned to the herd

My goats are like boomerangs, no matter how far they go, most of them return. Tansey came back home last fall after a few years of being a pet, a victim of divorce, she happily resides in the sheep bottom pasture with other miscellaneous goats. About the same time she came home, Summer, Cinndy Lu, Susie and Twinkle, bred does, left for a new farm with hopes and dreams of being the start of a fiber business. Today, they returned, with kids in tow. It was a long hard trip for them and Summer and her kids have had a rough time. Got out all my vitamins and probiotics, wormers and bicarb, then picked lots of fresh tree limbs for them, fed and watered them well. Just made my late night check and all seem well. It's going to take a lot of extra work for the next few weeks and some sleepless nights to get these kids back on track. Does anybody see things through? Does anybody think things through? God help the shepherd with the big heart and little pocket book.
