When a City Girl Goes Country
By Annette Bridges
Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, it is not enough? Maybe it is too much, too late, or it turns out to not be the right thing to do. Caring for any kind of animal is tough, especially when they are sick. You wish they could tell you how they feel. It is truly guesswork as you, as well as a vet, try to interpret symptoms.
What is really frustrating is when every known test is done and still no certain conclusions are reached. Even more disheartening is what works well for some does not work for one. You are left wondering what else you could have done. It feels so unfair when a little one fights long and hard to survive but eventually does not.
Some years are tougher than others for farmers and ranchers. The difficult years are those that have one thing after another going wrong. Extremes show up in every unimaginable way; too cold, too hot, too much rain, not enough rain, not enough hay, not enough time, not enough money. Absolutely everything is out of your control and some years remind you of this truth at every turn.
