Journey Becomes A Little For A Day

Don't worry folks, I'm not letting her out of my sight!

[@donnakucharczyk9769]

She just wants to be a goat. Lester, all you can do is give a listening ear, a soothing voice, a Caring Heart , a helping hand, a healing hug, and a smile so she know she's safe. She lays in the middle of the pasture with all the littles thanking you for encouraging her to go after the life she deserves.

All little Journey wants is to be a part of the littles. She sees them out there together and wanted to be a part of it too. As we all know, when she gets tired she lays down. And pig Newton he doesn't care he's going to do what he wants to do and he doesn't care the size of anyone else. Thank you for everything that you do for all of those beautiful animals ❤️

You know as much as we want to protect our babies in order to give them the best life we can’t pit them in a box & expect them to be happy as they watch the others being free & having fun together.

[@Twyztid_Angel]

They see her suffering not being able to play and be in with the littles. If they feed her separately it will negate some of the risks. It's worth the risk if she's able to live a fulfilling life no matter how long that may be.

I am excited that Journey has finally gotten to be one of the Littles.... for however long she has!! She needed to be a part of the herd. I know what the vet said about parasites but I say quality over quantity 🥰.

The grass behind the barn! And other animals could have health issues that they could pass on to her, that could kill her, because her immune system is so fragile! Those are still factors!

I don't think that any of them will try to hurt her. Even Ringo stayed where he was while Journey was walking around the pasture when he would usually be the first one to go check out the new kid in his pasture no matter what he was doing. When Journey finally realizes that Annie won't hurt her then Annie will be by her all the time watching over her. Much love to you all from Arkansas ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕

Something with easy access to your daily food and treats!
