Delilah's Place at GoatCountry

10/26/2026

We finally had our FIRST Delilah’s Place board meeting yesterday… and y’all, getting there was something else!

After having to reschedule a few times, Josh ended up in the emergency room yesterday, and we thought, “Well, we’re going to have to postpone it again.”

But our officers stepped right up, willing to run the meeting at our house while we joined by Zoom from the hospital! Thankfully, we made it home just 15 minutes late, and they had everything ready to go. ❤️

Our house is like a revolving door anyway, so everybody just came on in! 😂 What a blessing to have people who love us and this mission enough to say, “We’ve got this.”

I told Josh, “If Satan is trying this hard to keep these meetings from happening, we must be headed in the right direction!” We’re going to keep trusting Jesus and showing up, even if we’re running a little behind!

And goodness, there is A LOT to running a nonprofit. Loving the animals and people is the easy part for me. The paperwork, budgets, policies, and all the decisions? Lord, give us wisdom… and help me keep track of my papers. 😂

Sitting around that table with people willing to give their time, hearts, and talents to Delilah’s Place meant so much. What started with the love of one precious little deer is growing into something we pray Jesus will use to bring love, comfort, and healing to others.

Please keep Josh, our board, and Delilah’s Place in your prayers. We’ve got plenty to learn and plenty to do, but we’re thankful to be taking these steps together. ❤️🦌

This came up in my memories from a year ago. Oh, how I wish I could get those sweet kisses again. ❤️🦌

Y’all, Delilah was the most loving animal. I could’ve loved on that girl all day and still wanted a little more. Watching her in this video makes me smile and cry all at the same time. I can almost feel that little nose on my face.

I sure wish I could reach through this phone and kiss her back. Just have a few more minutes with our sweet girl.

Thank You, Jesus, for letting us love her. She sure took a big piece of our hearts with her. We miss you, baby girl. ❤️

Had my sweet little goat whisperer helping me with chores. Addie brought her bucket and had plenty of love to go around!

Now Carlos was mostly concerned with what was IN that bucket. 😂 But y’all, him letting her touch him is HUGE progress for our boy! Seeing him get comfortable enough to let her love on him sure makes my heart happy. Carlos might call it checking the feed bucket, but I’m counting it as progress! 🐐❤️

Sweet Ebonnie walks right up for her kisses, and Addie is happy to give her every last one. 💋💕

She is the most loving little girl. She tries to love everybody! She loves feeding the ducks and tries to kiss them, too. 😂 Her dogs and kitties get plenty of lovin’, so those ducks might as well get used to the idea. 🦆🐶🐱❤️

Chores take a little longer with all these kisses to hand out, but goodness, I wouldn’t trade this time with her. Thank You, Jesus, for her tender little heart. Help us keep teaching her to love and care for Your creatures as she grows. What a blessing she is. ❤️🙏

Y’all, look how pretty the fog was across our property this morning. ❤️

Seeing this makes me want to slow down a little and thank Jesus. For another morning, for this place we love, and for being right here with us through whatever today brings.

If your heart’s carrying a little extra this morning, take a minute and talk to Him. You don’t have to have all the right words. He hears you. 🙏

❤️🦌 A little Sunday memory from 2025... ✝️

Y'all, this picture right here sure tugs at my heart. ❤️

There's Josh laying right there on the ground, all hugged up to our sweet Delilah. Lord, how that girl loved us, and goodness knows we loved her right back!

I look at moments like this and can't help but see the goodness of Jesus. He blessed us with that precious girl, and through her, He showed us just how beautiful love and trust can be.

I truly believe Jesus puts certain souls in our lives for a reason. Delilah wasn't just a part of our days, she was a blessing that brought us closer to understanding His love.

Looking back at moments like this, I can't help but thank Jesus for bringing Delilah into our lives. We sure didn't know just how much that sweet girl would mean to us or how many precious memories we'd make with her.

"We love him, because he first loved us." 1 John 4:19 (KJV) 🙏

As we go about this Sunday, I pray we never get so busy with life that we miss the blessings Jesus puts right in front of us. His love is all around us, and goodness gracious, we sure have a lot to thank Him for.

All glory to Jesus, today and every day! 🙏✝️

Well, y'all... Cardio has officially let this fame go straight to his head!

Our sweet friend Joan recently visited Colorado and brought us back some wonderful gifts. ❤️ One was this adorable little goat that looks just like Cardio!

Of course, Cardio is convinced it was made in his honor. 🤦‍♀️😂

🐐 Cardio: "ERNEST!! LOOK!! ABC News, The Washington Post, Reader's Digest, Good Morning America, thousands of views, new followers, and NOW they're making statues of me! I'm FAMOUS!"

🐐 Ernest: "Lord have mercy. Somebody get this boy a helmet before his head explodes!" 🙄🤣

🐐 Cardio: "Don't be jealous, Ernest. Not everybody gets their own statue!"

🐐 Ernest: "JEALOUS?! Boy, Mom commissioned my own CUSTOM-MADE statue! I'm a professional phone thief, retired escape artist, full-time heartbreaker, and three-time Employee of the Month at a place where I DON'T EVEN WORK!" 😎🤣

🐐 Cardio: "Well, mine came all the way from Colorado!"

🐐 Ernest: "And mine was made just for ME! I've got a fan club, a personal chef named Mom, 24-hour security, and a criminal record longer than my beard! I was a household name before you were a headline!" 💀😂

🐐 Cardio: "Mom, tell Ernest I'm a big deal!"

🐐 Ernest: "Mom, tell the Colorado keychain over here that I AM the entertainment industry! I don't need Good Morning America. Every morning with ME is an EVENT!" 🤣🐐

And here I was just trying to enjoy my gifts! 🤦‍♀️😂

Joan, thank you so much for thinking of me! I absolutely love everything! ❤️

Now I've got two celebrities arguing over who's more famous. At this rate, I'm gonna need a bigger barn just to hold their egos! 🐐🤣

Well… our Cardio made ABC News! 🐐📺😂 As if this boy needed another reason to think he runs the place!

From wandering Dayton and headbutting cars to finding his home here at Delilah’s Place, our little “reformed vandal” has stolen our hearts. Apparently, he’s working on stealing everyone else’s now, too. ❤️

Turns out, he needed a herd, a girlfriend, and people who would love him through his shenanigans. 😂🐐 Watching him settle in and find his place has meant so much to us. He just needed a chance… and now we’re pretty sure he’s going to need a publicist!

Thank you to Danny New, aka Mr. Positivity, and ABC News for sharing Cardio’s story. We’re grateful God brought this little character into our lives. He keeps us laughing, and we’re thankful we get to give him a home. 🤍

Watch our interview below! Just don’t tell Cardio how many views he gets. His head is big enough already. 😂🐐

It was so foggy this morning, but look at these sweet faces. 🤍 Cardio and Carlos sure know how to make chores take a little longer. 😂

I looked down and Carlos was tugging on my sweat jacket wanting attention. 🥹 Oh my goodness, he melted my heart. I wish I could’ve gotten a video of him doing it, but of course those things happen when you don’t have your phone ready.

Both of these boys have come such a long way. That little tug might not seem like much, but to me, it means so much. Seeing them get comfortable and want our love… that’s a blessing.

Thank You, Lord, for these babies and for letting us love them. They sure do have my heart. ❤️
