Frostie the snow goat, who broke our hearts with his specially-made wheelchair, has sadly passed away.
On Monday morning the little guy wasn’t feeling well. Despite the efforts of the vet, he didn’t recover. The autopsy later revealed that his spinal column was riddled with abscesses.
Speaking about Frostie in his Goatbituary, his owner Pam Ahern said: “That Frostie was a sickly little kid goat was something that we knew from the very day he came into our world. Unable to stand, let alone walk, severely dehydrated and riddled with lice, Frostie’s lot was not good, but no one told him that. He wanted to live, and that was just what we promised him we would help him do”.
She continued: “He had a delightful and infectious sense of joie de vivre as he scooted about at first in his little mobility cart with that ‘hey look at me’ smile, then his brave ‘hey look no wheels’ tenacious first steps skipped hearts into flutter mode across the globe”.
It ended with: “I know that the passage of time will diminish the pain my heart is feeling right now, but nothing will ever diminish my beautiful happy memories of a joyful, cheeky and chatty little white goat who the world came to know and love as Frostie the Snow Goat.
“One journalist asked me what I wanted from the telling of Frostie’s story. I remember thinking about that for a second and then I said, “I want for people to be kind to animals.” And I am sure Frostie would want that too”.
Frostie the snow goat passed away earlier this week.
