Mama Doe
Normally I lock Alexa with her kits for the night. However, last night she jumped down again, so I thought, o well, your choice. So this morning I went out to let her back with her kits. I have to be very careful because the little ones have become quick and they jump around. I see the one with the white coming towards mum and hold it back with one hand. When mum is in the hutch, I try to look at the other kits and then, my heart stood still, and I mean STILL because I only counted three. Now after all this time, surely nothing could have gone wrong? I grab in the straw, left, right but it's empty. At that moment my heart is not still anymore but ticking at 350 km/H. I feel nauseous and sick, have an urge to vomit.
And then... I suddenly count four.
I lock the hutch and lean against it, still sick.
