Maternity leave
May 15, 2007I realized when I wrote my "testicle" blog last week that it'd been a few months since I'd posted.
I have a good excuse, I promise.
I was on maternity leave.
Of sorts.
I have a baby.
(A gasp from the peanut gallery!)
Calf, that is.
Her name is Cherry. My dad and I found her under a tree out in the pasture about two months ago, almost dead. We guess her mama abandoned her or something, and little Cherry was left to die.
But we've nursed her back to health, bottle feeding her four times a day. My pop takes the Monday-Thursday shift and I'm on duty Friday-Sunday.
We have about three more months until she's fully weaned, and not a moment too soon.
This mom stuff is getting old.
But at least now she answers to her name.
And after I feed her, she does a little dance.
