As I sat outside, rubbing the puppies tummies and petting Edna, I thought of how much I enjoy being with the animals. I thought of my amazing Creator who made them. I also remembered how God strictly warns us about worshiping the creation:
"They
changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the
creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen." Romans 1:25
When I enjoy the animals, they remind me of the amazing Artist and Designer who made them. Instead of worshiping the animals, I worship the One who made them!
Today I gave Edna her first dose of wormer. I mixed up the herbs with a little bit of water in a plastic Dixie cup. Then I sucked up the herbs into the syringe and squeezed the mixture into Edna's mouth. I am not sure she got the full dose, Edna had a green mustache afterwards and I had herbal mixture running down my sleeve! Oh well, I am planning to repeat the process again soon. (The herbal wormer I am using has two parts. One is a strong formula to be given every several weeks. The other is a "maintenence" formula to be given every week. I gave the weaker, "maintenence" formula today and plan to give the strong formula later this week.)
The Wormer
The Drench Syringe
Ahhh...the empty milk bottle. It seems that I keep leaving these things around and finding them hours later! On a fence post, on top of the dog food barrel, next to the sink... Goat care is an endless adventure!
