The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life, sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all together.

Lilo's Attack

I just learned that Lilo killed a 6 week old Nigerian doeling.  I am not sure exactly what happened.  I know that she was taken to a friend's house as a milker and that the doeling attempted to nurse.  I don't know if anyone saw it happen or if the kid was in with Lilo where it couldn't escape.

I am saddened by this event.  I offered to give the owner our kids, but she has no real use for them.  And she takes responsibility for leaving a new doe with her herd without supervision.  I guess it is a lesson that we must remember.  Lilo is a very kind doe, but even the nicest does need to be watched when they are around other kids.
