Well this is our last week with my son's goat. He has done really well on his responsibility. He feeds it twice like he is supposed to. Cleans out his pen and walks him. I noticed he wasn't spending as much time with him once December started. Couldn't figure out why at first. Then it hit me. He was struggling internally with knowing we would be getting rid of him. So I asked him why he doesn't spend time with his goat anymore. He said the typical Cap response, "I don't know". I know what that means. He was struggling like I thought. Little did I know that talking to him I would tell my self the same thing. We had broken a "farmers" rule - we had gotten attached. It sure wasn't hard.
