When we talk about grief we often think about the sadness that comes with loss.

But we don't often talk about the anger that comes along when you lose someone.

Anger because what you thought would be is no longer. Anger because they're just not here anymore. There was nothing more you could do. You couldn't make it better, you couldn't fix it.

I'm angry Gerald is no longer here.

But, when I think of all the lives he touched. All the smiles and laughs he gave us, I can't be angry.

All that anger is because he was loved so much.

Hearing from so many of you, how much you loved him and his story. What a huge role he played in building For Goat Sake, I can't be angry about that.

The memories we share, the connections and community we've built, his memory lives on in that. Not only does he live on in each of these souls, he lives on as For Goat Sake, he was the foundation of who we are and what we do.

Animals that aren't even here yet will know who Gerald was. They'll hear the stories of The Coolest Goat that ever lived.

I've been struggling with how to share this. Gerald joined his best friend and brothers, Nibler and Rupert at Rainbow Br...

I've been struggling with how to share this. Gerald joined his best friend and brothers, Nibler and Rupert at Rainbow Bridge.

I've asked myself what Gerald would want, and one thing I know is that he wouldn't want us to spend time being sad about him leaving this earth. He would want us to live our lives to the fullest. He'd want us to Find the Fun. The joy and the gratitude in our life.

So, in honor of Gerald.
Do that thing you've been afraid to do. Pay it forward. Be the light in someone else's day. Tell someone how grateful you are for them. Book that trip you've been putting off. Stop making the excuses. Be yourself. Wear the thing that makes you happy. Dance. Laugh and be grateful for today.
Because life is far too short.

Gerald was meant to be someone's dinner. But, we stepped in and his life changed forever. He lived everyday like it was his second chance, because it was. He showed appreciation and gratitude for this life every chance he got and lived life to the fullest.

He was known for being the Coolest Goat we know and will forever own that title. He was our resident Fun Finder and was always looking for mischief and fun. He made us smile and laugh. His iconic trot, his epic mohawk and his pink lips will always be remembered fondly.

These last few months were hard for Gerald. He fought so hard. After his steroid treatment was over, his skin issues quickly returned and he declined rapidly. We suspected an infection and took him to UT. There, the vet let us know that we could start another round of steroids, but long term there was nothing else we could do. Letting him go was the most compassionate choice we could make for him.

Run free special guy. You made such an impact in this world. You taught us so much and helped me heal in many ways. You'll always be remembered as one of the Big Boys, just like you wanted and we will miss you deeply.

We'd like to thank Gerald's sponsor for all the years he has supported and been there for Gerald. Jasveer, your dude loved you and appreciated all the love and support you showed him. You will always be his best dude.

Let's honor our cool dude by living life to the fullest, just like he did. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

We'd like you to meet Everest ๐Ÿ”๏ธ

A few months ago, Devin found him at a feed store, looking for a home. He needed a flea bath and some TLC.

Fast forward to now, we've fallen in love with him and he's found his forever with us!

Everest loves to watch over the little humans, he is learning to be friends with all the sanctuary residents and he fits right in with our family.

Please join us in officially welcoming Everest to the FGS family! ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿพ

These cuties would like a moment of your time...

We have decided to scale back our big barn building plans. We had big dreams and big ideas, but for now we think it will be easiest to scale back and go smaller.

We know that times are tough for many of us, but we still want to do our best to provide sanctuary to those that need it.

If you have a few extra dollars to spare, we sure could use the support. If you're not able to donate at this time, please share our page, tell a friend about the coolest goat you know (Gerald) or comment below and show your support! Every little bit helps!

You are Safe. You are Loved. You Matter.

Weekly Gerald update ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

Gerald is officially done with his steroids.๐ŸŽ‰ Now, we wait and see what happens...

The vets have never treated a goat before with his condition, so we're figuring this out as we go. What we do know is, Gerald is no longer developing the sores on his skin and his skin looks much healthier overall.

We're still doing the occasional bath to help keep the old sore areas clean. Hopefully, his hair will begin to grow back and his skin will continue to improve. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ

Have we mentioned the ducks are better gardeners than us?! Last year they grew pumpkins and just look at this blackberry patch they have growing!!

It also provides shade for Ms. Fauna, who is happy as can be.

I hope they'll share some of those blackberries! ๐Ÿ˜‹

I could watch them do this all day. The joy they exude is palpable! ๐Ÿ˜„

Every night, after they eat their dinner, they run back and forth, just happy as can be! Even the boys get into it a little.

Happy, safe. Just as they should be.
