A few weeks ago I was on Facebook (go figure...) and I noticed Jenness Farms was looking for name ideas for their female baby goats that were due to be born in the next couple weeks. I suggested that Ashlynn would love a goat named after her. We are big fans of their products. Their 'Bum Butter' diaper cream has been a life saver for us since Ashlynn has started Chemo. I'm not kidding when I say a life saver, she was getting bloody sores from all the harsh chemical in her chemo. Since we have been using the Bum Butter she has not had any rash at all, we are going on 4 months now! So back to my story about the baby goats. Lori Co Owner of Jenness Farms said she was happy to name a goat after Ashlynn. Lori also invited us over to see all the babies and let Ashlynn pick out the goat she would share a name with.
Last Friday was the big day, the weather wasn't great, but that didn't stop us. Shayne also got to join in the fun! We had a little incident on the way out to the goat barn, being my typically graceful self I fell down Lori's stairs while I was holding Ashlynn. We were both fine, she was more scared than anything. The comical thing was I had just finished telling Shayne he needed to be super careful on the stairs. After we got out to the barn Ashlynn was still a little scared from the fall and then she heard the Turkeys and got a little more scared. We learned at out last visit to Jenness Farms that Ashlynn isn't too fond of the noises the Turkeys make. Shayne was the first one to get into the goat pen, next I went in, and then Ashlynn decided she would join us. After letting some goats get close she picked a goat with a adorable question mark on it's head. She was just a snuggly goat, and gave Ashlynn as little kiss! Somehow she seemed to know she was an important goat, all of her sisters went into the little house, and she stayed to hang out with us! We are so lucky to be able to do fun things like this, it certainly makes the tough days a little more manageable. Sending a huge THANK YOU to Lori and Jenness Farms- and if you haven't tried their soaps or other products you really should!
