The other day I was reading somewhere that Australia is the dryest continent on the planet, and thinking, "but at least my blogfriends aren't on the desert side." Naive of me. I suppose it's comforting, then, to have at least one reason (spit) to be GLAD they're gone. I’m sorry to hear that, Alyson.

We have two feed paddocks - Robert the horse in one, and the alpaca brothers in another, which meant we could never spell a paddock long enough to raise enough feed. Robert is very much a part of the family, whereas the alpacas were used to guard the chooks from our first days here. Now we have big boy Milo to run the foxes off, the alpacas are happily guarding on bigger farms. :) Everyone tells you how cute they are, noone tells you how naughty they can be!

I'm so glad to know there's a few people who enjoy reading my work as much as I love writing it (and I didn't even have to pay you!). You didn't specify why you gave up on your alpacas, Alyson, but your story of their send-off reminded me of my brother's experience. Thanks for the inspiration! Thank you, Themarvelousinnature!

Very tricky and not to be trusted for a second...or 15 for your brother. I tell you, it seems llamas - like their brothers the alpacas, are wicked smelly, escapists wrapped in fuzzy softness.

I guess the literature had left that little fact out. Have a good weekend yourself! Be my guest, Eyegillian, if you can find a use for that line. Glad you liked the tale in written form.

I keep thinking I could use that line... somewhere. Great post! (Great title, too.) “It’s not my llama.”

So are llamas known to roam if the gates are left open. I like the line "grass was greener over the next fence — and over the next one, and the next, and the next." Sounds sorta like dating... For those whom are lucky enough. Happy Friday. All that and it wasn’t his. So are llamas known to roam if the gates are left open.
