It was the second time he used his chubby little arms to push the ball down the ramp and watch it go... The quick little bugger grabbed the ball (trying to put it up there himself) and of course didn't make it. In our rush to stop him, he tripped and the ball landed on his hand, crushing the tip of his middle finger in doing so. You wouldn't think a 6 lb ball could do that much damage, but it can. Even if only dropped from 2 feet up. Glad to hear that your son is on the mend. Hope it heals quickly!Carissa Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956041638794014466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221929133944009251.post-2364767483941869682011-06-16T09:04:45.989-06:002011-06-16T09:04:45.989-06:00How totally wretched.

I'm sorry for your ordeal!<br />I am also worried now that Mrs. Harrington knows that I have been watching her Bumpit GROW because she has been hiding extra goat fangs underneath it. She is onto me.

(With the help of Nina Badzin's Twitter tutorial. I'd post a link but darn if I can find it now. I think it may be in one of my other Twitter post--the cracking out of the shell one. There should be a link to Nina Badzin's awesome tips.)<br /><br />Oh, and to my goat loving homies...<br /><br />Hmmm. Your question oh venerable @rookieriter aka Bethany C. is one that requires deep thinking and great thought. Somewhere, sometime, in this vast universe, one life form will unwittingly search for #goatloversunite and find a veritable cache of info that will open their eyes to the meaning of life.Precy Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16714824672731935371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221929133944009251.post-91122363972701309792011-06-16T08:39:05.740-06:002011-06-16T08:39:05.740-06:00Hi lovely people who always manage to make me feel...Hi lovely people who always manage to make me feel better!<br /><br />He's doing fine now. He loved his bright orange cast when he got it, and totally thought he was supercool (he was brandishing it around like a weapon, scaring his sister away LOL). It will definitely take him time to get used to it. He'd already asked me several times if he could take it off. Yikes. But so far, so good. I still cringe everytime I remember the InstaCare doc twisting his arm around. *shudders* In her defense, the radiologist did say the elbow was normal so she thought it was ok to manipulate it. My poor baby boy.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad the Twitter info is useful. I was TERRIFIED to use Twitter before I stumbled on Anita's blog and how she'd mustered up the courage to use it. *waves to Anita (Hi luv!)<br /><br />Also, I totally forgot to add about RTs and DMs. Blame it on my foggy, sleep-deprived brain.Precy Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16714824672731935371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221929133944009251.post-79094258583581645252011-06-16T08:10:30.957-06:002011-06-16T08:10:30.957-06:00Glad you got the elbow thing cleared away; hope yo...Glad you got the elbow thing cleared away; hope your little one's feeling better.

I would typically be embarrassed to ask this, but since you posted, and since all my buddies know I'm as blond as they come anyway, here goes: Regarding the hash tags. What's the point of using them? people will tweet me and then there's a hash of #goatloaversunite is this something that MEANS something? or is it just a silliness that proves other people are goat lovers, too?Bethany Crandellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08465408035247412662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221929133944009251.post-48938227316478187182011-06-15T13:49:46.067-06:002011-06-15T13:49:46.067-06:00So sad to hear about your son's ordeal!!
