Patience Pays Off
After weeks of patiently waiting,
sitting quietly by the fence... observing and dreaming...
Sammy had his day in the sun,
and met the baby goats.
He sat patiently by my side...hoping.
While Missy gathered her little ones around her as far away as possible.
"Lay down, Sam," I whispered. "Let's look as unthreatening as possible."
It didn't take long for Gracie The Adventurous to wander over to inspect Sam.
Gracie: "Don't worry, Mom. I'm not afraid of a silly ole dog!"
Sam: "I can't contain my excitement. I'm holding vewy, vewy still on the outside,
but inside, I'm doing somersaults!"
Gracie: "You smell funny."
Sam: "Come a little closer, so I can smell you.
Sam: "Ohhhhh... you smell so sweet! I like you. Will you be my friend?"
Gracie: "Sure. Wanna run and play with me?"
Sam: "Mom won't let me."
In spite of having to sit "vewy, vewy still", it was the highlight of Sam's year so far!
Chicklet update:
Everyone is doing well. Eating. Drinking. Pooping. Sleeping.
Running around like crazy little chicklets!
"Peep, peep, peep, peep!"
