I have loved this photo for a while - the goat is Yoda, "cousin" to Emerson and Elliot. Although my sister has three other Nigerian Dwarf goats, Yoda's best friend on the farm has always been Griffin. It's a rare person who will rescue and care for an aged horse who's blind and needs daily medication for a chronic illness, but my sister truly has a heart for animals. Yoda is also a rescue animal, abused by his former owners and still distrustful of people, but he and Griffin bonded from the start. Sadly, Griffin's condition recently worsened until he was unable to walk without extreme pain, and today we bid him farewell.
Rest in peace, gentle Griffin.
How will Yoda cope with the loss of his friend?
