What did you do today?

[Nanno]

I got the results back from the lab work last Friday and my horses came up positive for vesicular stomatitis virus.
Basically this means that they and all the other animals on my property are under quarantine for three weeks after the last sick animal is well. Hopefully no goats will get it or this will seriously impact our breeding season! If it only affects the horses then we're looking at November 7th as the day we get out of quarantine. Until then, no goats can leave our property even for a walk down the road (although vet trips are ok). It's a good thing I like to breed my goats late in the season! Keeping our fingers crossed for no sick goats!

This turn of events has put a damper on my goat Halloween party idea (although we could borrow a friend's goats), but my contact who was working on a venue for us has been so busy that I'm not sure she's going to come through. My guy for the October drawing also never got back to me, so I thought, "What the heck? Let's try an online goat costume party!!" I fully expect no one to bother, but it never hurts to try! I know Phil and I will bother because dressing up in costumes is so much fun, and the goats seem to love it too! Hopefully some other fun-loving folks will join our party and we can all have a good laugh.
