Onion Creek Oberhhasli Tragedy!!!!

[Onion-Creek-Oberhaslis]

Thank you to everyone here for your encouragement!  I am sorry I never announced the winner of the drawing.  Life came unglued right after they were born.  The winner is Desiree and family in AZ as a herdsire.  Tragiclly, he died in the fire.  I still have a few pregnant yearlings left, so hopefully they will get their buckling!  Here is the update on the fire and losses from this morning:

Here are pictures from this morning...  The fire burned so hot, there is not much left....  My neighbor is coming over later to help bury the goats.  The picture of the charred ground is all that's left of the heated water bucket (not where the fire started).  All goats were accounted for and only Belle made it out.  One baby was found on the roof.  It looks like he made it out only die crossing the roof after it collapsed.  Belle's burns were not as bad as we initially thought.  Her fur is singed all on the top and it looks like she was hit by burning timbers on her head and back.  Eyes are still swollen almost completely shut.  She is able to see enough to get around easily.  Her breathing is normal, she is chewing cud and has a good appetite.  I called the vet and she said to monitor her and let her know if anything changes.  I am giving her calcium, vit. B, and probiotics.  I'll be getting some Vetericyn for her eyes and Aloe Vera for her singed fur and face.  Thank you to everyone for your kind words, encouragement, and donations to the Go-Fund-Me page.  I couldn't do it without you!

Prayer requests:
-Belle is six weeks pregnant and I am praying her babies will be fine and make it full term.  As well as Belle making a full recovery.

-The guy from the insurance is coming out.  The structure should be covered, but we are not sure what they will say about the goats.  All but two were registered and I have papers as proof as well as pictures taken before.  Praying that goes well.

Praises/Things To Be Thankful For:
-I'm doing okay.  Counting my blessings and somehow, the tragedy seems a little smaller.  I have seven girls left (not counting Allie's girls and Belle) and my bucks.  

-The hay stack was 20' away from the barn and all hay is fine (8 tons).  The trees right behind the barn smoldered and lost their needles, but didn't burn.  

-I only lost the one barn and the goats in it (my pregnant top milkers), but no one else.

For those of you who know my herd, some of the girls lost were; Gilly (herd queen), Brigitta (number two in the herd), Ailis (Brigitta's daughter and my favorite in the barn), Sabine (the first black kid on the farm and the one I nursed back to health after she severed her growth plate), Ivy (my best packer doe, and the highest butterfat producer), and Noni (my 3 Gun granddaughter).  These are not all that were in there, but some of my favorites...
