We have decided on a name for our last little kid: meet Little Ruth. 🤍
Some stories are filled with joy, and others remind us just how fragile life can be.
Little Ruth entered the world healthy, strong, and full of promise exactly 2 weeks ago today. Her mama, Ruth—our sweet "Little Drama"—gave her everything she had. Despite every effort, we recently had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to Ruth.
Now this tiny girl begins her journey without her mama by her side.
Naming her Little Ruth felt like the most fitting way to honor the incredible doe who brought her into this world. We hope that as she grows, she'll carry on a little piece of her mother's gentle spirit.
The last few weeks have been especially difficult here at Star Stables. With the losses we've experienced, it's easy to question what we're doing or wonder if we could have changed the outcome. But it's also important to remember where these girls came from.
When we welcomed this group of goats to the farm, we knew they came from a less-than-ideal situation. We understood there could be unknown health challenges and that taking them in carried risks. Even knowing that, we believed they deserved the chance to be safe, cared for, and loved.
Sometimes rescue and second chances don't end the way we hope. That doesn't mean they weren't worth giving.
Little Ruth is part of that story. She represents resilience, hope, and the promise that even after heartbreak, life continues. She'll be bottle-fed, cherished, and reminded every day just how loved she is—not only by us, but by a community that has followed her journey from the very beginning.
Thank you for being here through the celebrations and the tears. Your encouragement reminds us why we keep going, even on the hardest days. ❤️
