Stormstruck blessed us with a beautiful moonspotted buckskin doeling today. She weighed in at 3.5 lbs and was up walking around and nursing quickly. Stormstruck is proving to be a very attentive young mother and we’re quite proud of her. The birth was attended by Kati, 11, and Clayton, 14. Mom provided moral support on the phone on the way home from work and everything went well. This was the first birth the (human) kids were in charge of and they can be proud of their work. We’re especially grateful for this healthy little girl because Hurricane delivered a premature buckling on Wednesday night that was much too small and despite our best efforts he passed away. His loss reminds us what a miracle life is and that a healthy baby is always a blessing to be celebrated.
