The last of the rescued llamas went home yesterday....but not before they left their "mark". lol. Zorro and Caesar are going to a great home to be 4-H animals and fiber producers.
Caesar was the 1st to be loaded. It took quite a bit of convincing but he loaded into the trailer. Next was Zorro, my buddy. Of course the boys have gained weight since they came to Lynn's for TLC. Which in turn meant they were stronger too........enter catching Zorro. He was actually very easy to get my arms around him......then all heck broke loose and mama got run over by a llama. Oh and a size 12 man's shoe...complete w/ the man in them. Very muddy catch pen, healthy strong male llama who decided to spook for whatever reason...dogs barking...the donkey deciding to add his two cents, kids playing and off Zorro goes. Hung on trying not to get run over, Zorro hurt or someone else hurt but I was no match for the handsome guy. Down I went......Hit me w/ two feet.....left his footprint on my upper chest. Donny and his big shoes were next. Hey they missed my face!!!!! After all said and done the llamas are happy already in their new homes.
I had an ER run. I have a couple of fractured ribs out of the deal. Considering if it had been my face...I'll take the hurting ribs thank you!
Of course...had the two older grandkids here to play w/ my son and I've heard "Grandma got run over by a llama" from hubby....and found out the daughters are singing their version too. It is funny afterwards.....the mud and other things, the wet cold mud and other things. Hey I get some serious knitting time out of this! I have yet to knit a stitch today though that is soon to be taken care of!
