About five years ago Bob went to a horse auction and came home with two Llamas that he felt sorry for and bought. They were apparently just thrown in with the horses in a pen and were being traumatized.

Kay couldn't believe it... I said "if Bob takes his trailer with him to the sale when he isn't even ~shopping~ for a horse, be prepared for anything."

He told her that "Some of them hippies are now using llamas on trail as a pack animal, and the horses need to get accustomed to them so they won't spook." He kept them for a few years. Just this last year or so he gave them to a llama rescue place he found. Now they have AlPacas! Next week: The great emu deal....

I keep thinkin' I want some more livestock, but cain't really do that in our neighborhood. Told the wife we needed some chickens. She just stared at me.

'bout the best I'm gonna do is to get a good fish tank goin'.

You still have your fish Hair? You haven't mentioned 'em lately. 'Course you got other things on your mind.

LOL! My mother's college friend has a daughter who loves horses. When she was in high school, she surprised her mom one day by coming home with a horse she had just bought. . .

So what's the emu story? :)
