Mourning Buttercup

It seems strange. Buttercup, our last pygmy goat, passed away this week. Death is not romantic. That it's part of life is a given. The longer we live, however, the more loss and grief we'll experience. It is actually all around us on a daily basis, but we are usually oblivious. A fallen soldier usually shows up in the newspapers, but so many beloved pets are lost each year... yet there are no obituaries.

This is a brief notation that our beloved Buttercup died this week and we'll miss her. She was a sweetheart.
