Sleep well.

 

[krkrjx]

They have anticipated this birth for over a year, seems odd there is no spokesperson there to tell us anything.

I don't like the fact that they'll be splitting up the family. :stormingmad:

 

[Steely Dan]

My emus have been reading here and have told me to go to bed. They worry about me. :emu: They're afraid I'll have a coronary. So I'm going to take an Ambien and sidle off to bed. fftobed:

Let's hope there's good news in the morning. :Happybirthday:

It does seem a little odd. You'd think they'd just say "it's a breech birth, vets are with Autumn now," or whatever the situation is.

Right. They made such a big deal about this and now that the moment has come...nothing! I just want to hear Autumn is OK...if I hear that I might be able to sleep.

 

[G&AMom]

Well, I don't know if I'll be able to sleep, but I think I'll try anyway. Got my fingers crossed!!!!

Oh my goodness, it was a stillborn calf. How sad! I am heartbroken. I am so sorry for her! Poor Autumn. Gosh I am devastated. God bless that little thing & Autumn. Devastating.

I knew it.

Take this quiz to see how perfect you are. I'm not nearly as perfect as I thought! :laughing:

How Perfect Are You?

You got: 99% Perfect

Wow, you're about as perfect as a person can get. We bet you have lots of friends, a great career, and true love. But don't let all that perfection go to your head...you still have a little room for improvement, and perfection demands constant effort!

:blushing:

 

[Spellbound]

So sad, a stillborn. Autumn did her best, but that looked like a difficult delivery for her. She will be off-exhibit for a few days.

:sigh: :grouphug:

 

[grammieto5]

OH this is so sad! Thank you all for your posts, and Steely Dan for your photos! Poor sweet Autumn and little Kiko, and Walter, I think they knew something was not right AW this just breaks my heart!

Hopefully we'll get better news from the hearing this morning.

 

[daisymae]

My heart is broken.

RIP baby Daisy :tears:

"...While tracking Thornicroft’s giraffes in the South Luangwa National Park, Zambia, Prof Bercovitch witnessed a female giraffe splay her legs and bend down to her newborn, but dead calf.

She spent several minutes licking the calf, before standing upright. She then repeated the behaviour a few times, spending more than two hours in total investigating the body of her lost offspring.

The behaviour is striking for a number of reasons.

Females giraffes rarely spend any time alone, yet this individual spent hours with her dead calf away from other females.

Giraffes rarely splay their legs to bend down, apart from when to drink or feed....

Poor Autumn. :therethere:

 

[atthelake]

So sad to hear the news this morning

 

[YESorNO]

(thanks to all who paced the Sidebar floor last night and stayed up so late to be near Autumn.

This is very sad news about our baby giraffe, daisy.)
