Thunder--

We would like to welcome the newest member of the Murphy family. As if we didn't have enough critters running around already, now we have added a pygmy goat to the collection named Thunder. He is Gabe's reward for reaching his reading goals. Gabe wanted a rabbit, but his dad successfully talked him into getting a goat instead. He is only about 3 weeks old and we have to bottle feed him every few hours but I have to admit that he is pretty cute. We keep him in a dog kennel in the garage for right now and he gets lonely. He even lost his voice from crying all the time! He has been a lot of fun so far. I just worry about keeping the little thing healthy for Gabe. He cried for an hour after Thunder lost his voice because he was convinced he was going to die. As long as we keep him away from Ridge and the mean old cat, he should be just fine. . . I hope.
