OK. Big update, hold onto your hats!

Elf had an abcess on her face, I was told that it could be CL, I brought her to the vet to be tested. I don't have the results yet, still waiting. I doubt it actually is CL, the vet said so, and lots of people said they didn't think it was, but because of one lady, I'm still nervous. I should know in a couple days, until then I can't go to work for fear of infecting the goats there. So on the bright side, I get a week off!


My sister is home visiting from college or whatever it is she does, and is wreaking general havoc in me and Ownedby3alpacas lives. She is leaving on Saturday, and that day cannot come soon enough.

IT IS INSANELY HOT OUT. I walked outside today, and half my face melted off. I love summer :) The animals aren't so fond of it, I've been giving the goats ice water every day, the alpacas are laying fully stretched out on the ground (thank God they were sheared already!) and there's a fan pointed at the rabbits cage. And, my house doesn't have AC. I've been using a bag of frozen brussel sprouts a a cooling device, ie: wearing it on my head. Surprisingly, it actually works. I look like an idiot, but luckily, the people in my house are used to that! I just won't wear my frozen sprout hat in public.....

I'm considering becoming a hermit. I don't like the human race in general. To quote Proffessor Farnsworth, "I don't want to live on this planet anymore."

And, if you're a hermit, you get to go to all the Hermit Conventions! They only meet up every 10 years, and nobody talks to one another, so all in all it's actually pretty awkward.....


I'm sorry, it's 3 am here, I highly doubt I'm thinking straight......I was planning on sleeping at some point, but my mom and my sister are going to get coffee at 5 am, so I may as well stay up and go along....sleep is overrated!

Yes, people are jerks. Even people you thought were NICE turn out to be jerks. People you TRUSTED turn out to be jerks. Luckily, they're not invited to the Hermit Conventions :D

A very nasty disease goats and sheep can get. One of the symptoms is abcesses, usually on the neck or face. The abcesses burst, and if the pus gets on any other goat then they get it too. If your herd gets it, you can't have goats on that property for somewhere near 12 years. http://www.aces.edu/pubs/docs/U/UNP-0085/ <---that explains more about it. Based on how she got the abcess (she cut her face on wire a while ago, thought it was healing fine, apparently not) and the kind of pus that was in it, I'm fairly certain she doesn't have CL :fl But there's always a chance, so I had her tested
