Welcome to BUCKY's Rainbow Residency

Memories of BUCKY

ON A COLD, DRIZZLY JAN. MY DAUGHTER AND I DROVE TO A VERY REMOTE FEED STORE TO BUY HAY FOR OUR HORSES AND GOATS. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT THIS PARTICULAR DAY, AN AUCTION WAS GOING ON AND ANIMALS WERE BEING BOUGHT AND TAKEN TO THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE. IT IS A BAD PLACE FOR AN ANIMAL LOVER TO GO BECAUSE I SAW ALL THOSE ADORABLE ANIMALS BEING SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. FORTUNATELY, THE FIRST 2 ANIMALS TO BE AUCTIONED OFF WERE TWO DAY OLD BABY GOATS. THEY WERE HUDDLED TOGETHER, BUT I COULD SEE THAT THEY WERE FREEZING. SO I BID ON THEM, BOUGHT THEM, AND LEFT. ONE WAS A WHITE FUZZY LITTLE BOY I NAMED SPANKY AND THE OTHER WAS A BLACK LITTLE BOY I NAMED BUCKWHEAT, BUCKY FOR SHORT. THEY WERE JUST PRECIOUS BUT WERE VERY SICK. THESE LITTLE GUYS WERE SO SICK THAT IT TOOK MONTHS BEFORE THEY WERE WELL ENOUGH TO GO OUTSIDE WITH THE REST OF THE GOATS. SPANKY LIVED ONLY 4 YEARS. BUCKY, ON THE OTHER HAND, WAS ONE OF THE MOST SPECIAL GOATS I HAVE EVER HAD. HE WAS SO SWEET AND GENTLE. HE WAS REGAL WITH HIS BLACK HAIR BUT BLONDE ANGORA FUR. HE WAS LIKE A BIG BROTHER TO ALL THE OTHER LITTLE GOATS. THEY LOOKED UP TO HIM FOR GUIDANCE. WELL, GOATS ARE ONLY SUPPOSE TO LIVE 8-10 YEARS, BUT BUCKY WAS LIKE THE ENERGIZER BUNNY, HE KEPT GOING AND GOING. ON WED. HOWEVER, HIS LITTLE OLD LEGS GAVE AWAY. HE WAS 15*, BUT I HAD AWAYS BEEN ABLE TO GIVE HIM A LITTLE MEDICINE TO TIDE HIM OVER AND PUT SOME STRENGTH BACK INTO THOSE LEGS. BUT ON WED. NOTHING WORKED AND HE WAS UNABLE TO USE ANY OF HIS LEGS. I GUESS HE KNEW IT WAS TIME BECAUSE HE LOOKED AT ME WITH THOSE SWEET, TRUSTING EYES AS IF TO SAY, "YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE DECISION NOT TO LET ME SUFFER ANY MORE." SO WITH LOTS OF TEARS AND A HEAVY HEART, I HAD HIM PUT TO SLEEP. WE BURIED HIM UNDER A LITTLE TREE WHERE I CAN VISIT HIM EVERYDAY. I KNOW SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT I AM CRAZY BECAUSE HE WAS JUST A FARMYARD PET, BUT TO ME HE WAS A WHOLE LOT MORE. I SPENT SO MUCH TIME WITH HIM THAT HE WILL BE MISSED EVERY SINGLE DAY. LIFE WITH MY OTHER GOATS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. I KNOW HE IS HAPPY RUNNING AND JUMPING AND OF COURS, EATING MOTHER'S OATMEAL COOKIES, HIS FAVORITE. HE HAS CROSSED THE RAINBOW BRIDGE TO BE WITH ALL HIS BEST FRIENDS. I CAN SEE THAT SWEET, GENTLE FACE. BYE FOR NOW, MY PRECIOUS GOAT. I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING WITH YOU AND ALL MY OTHER FURBABIES THAT HAVE CROSSED OVER. I WILL LOVE YOU TO MY DYING DAY. YOU TOOK A LITTLE PIECE OF HEART WITH YOU. 1/26/2006 I HAVEN'T WRITTEN TO YOU IN A WHILE, BUT I HAVE YOU TUCKED AWAY FOR SAFEKEEPING IN MY HEART. I WANT YOU TO HELP YOUR OTHER BROTHER'S AND SISTER'S WITH CHESTER. HE IS UP THER WITH YOU ALL NOW, AND I WANT HIM TO KNOW THAT YOU GUYS WILL HELP HIM WITH ANY PROBLEMS HE MIGHT HAVE ADJUSTING TO LIFE WITHOUT ME. I CANNOT ADJUST VERY WELL WITHOUT YOU ALL, SO I WANT YOU ALL TO BE THERE FOR HIM. I KNOW YOU WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIM AND SHOWING HIM THE WAY. LET HIM KNOW THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU ALL ARE NOT HERE WITH ME IN BODY, I CARRY YOUR SPIRIT AND LOVE WITH ME EVERYWHERE I GO. I LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR THOSE WONDERFUL 16 YEARS WE SHARED TOGETHER. YOU WERE A SPECIAL BOY. LOVE, MAMA 02/16/2006 HI, MY BUDDY. I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I STILL HAVE 10 GOATS THAT WERE HERE WHEN YOU WERE HERE. SAM AND SANDY, HARRY, LILY, MAMA AND LUCKY, STANLEY, ELVIRA, CHUCKEE, AND IVY WANTED ME TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH THEY MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU STILL. I KNOW YOU ARE TAKING CARE OF CHESTER FOR ME. YOU KNEW HOW MUCH HE LOVED PLAYING IN THE YARD WITH YOU GUYS AND HOW GENTLE HE WAS. YOU STAY BY HIM AND PROTECT HIM AND HELP HIM WHEN HE NEEDS YOU. I KNOW YOU WILL WATCH OVER HIM FOR ME. I LOVE YOU, MY BABY. MISS ME SOME. LOVE,MAMA 04/02/2006 IT IS A DREARY DAY AND I AM MISSING ALL MY LOST BABIES ALOT TODAY. YOU WERE SUCH A SPECIAL SON THAT I KNOW YOU ARE HAPPY WHERE YOU ARE.
