Instant Jellyfish posted:Aster lambed at some point in the night and decided she wasn't feeling it this year. Just left them in a soggy heap on an 18F night then hosed off to eat some hay. Did Aster just disqualify herself from next year's breeding pool?

Instant Jellyfish posted:I said goodbye to Major a year ago November. His GOLPP was getting worse and I didn’t want to wait until it was an emergency. He went out happily eating an entire pint of moose tracks ice cream after a month of getting spoiled. I still miss him a lot but it was the right choice.

I used to work for Rogue Wave. It was a good company full of good people. I hope your buck will be more enduringly successful.
