Gypsy takes a stroll in the Llama Chariot
With the onset of inclement weather, we decided that it was best to move Gypsy into her private winter accommodation in the Refirmary over the weekend. Because it was a relatively long journey we thought she might like some support from Tally’s Chariot. She LOVED it! I think she would have walked the entire perimeter road if we had let her. And then yesterday she slept almost the entire day, bless her!
Gypsy has severe arthritis, but Gypsy has attitude and she is definitely not ready to leave this world. Many visitors will have seen her grazing near the Llama Shoppe. Some have even helped her to stand up. She is quite extraordinary in her will and determination. Some days she lets us know she is in pain and she receives pain medication. The next day she’s usually back to her normal self:
Tally’s Chariot was made for Talluleh, a very big llama who lived with partial paralysis for 6 years due to Lyme disease. This llama ‘wheelchair’ and mobile hoist has proven to be extremely useful on many occasions.

Shy Linx Point Zola is Becoming Bolder

Call us 250 948 3675 if you would like to fill your life with a couple of 8 month old kittens.
And as I said yesterday, you could incorporate your visit with a guided tour of The Llama Sanctuary!! There are 56 llamas and alpacas always waiting for carrots and cuddles.

The initial fever between Gemmy & Eddie might have cooled a little since that first spark of love was struck, but they still spend most of the day hanging out together. Eddie is particularly fond of sitting under the sprinkler when the summer heat is at its most intense
It has been uncomfortably hot for visiting the llamas recently, but just a few degrees lower makes all the difference! Suddenly the llamas are more active and hanging over the gate, watching for you to deliver the magic white pails of carroty treats.
The first batch of hay was collected yesterday. We would like to have collected more, but the hay fund is empty! If you can contribute anything please visit: https://llamasanctuary.com/how-to-donate
Thank you!!

This weekend, we celebrated one year since we started rebuilding The Llama Sanctuary at its new location at the Recline Ridge Ecopark in Tappen. We started off with an empty field, some rusty barbed wire and no shelter. Last June, we erected was the white, 800sqft hooped barn we had at Chase. In the last 12 months we have added another hooped barn of 1600sqft and 6 post and beam buildings: 880sqft, 480sqft, 360sqft and 3 shelters of 200sqft and we’ve created the ‘Tin Can’ village, which houses the Sanctuary gift shop, the office and craft industries and the new Kitty Kat Lounge and Cat Hotel, which is finally ready to receive cats looking for a home!
It was a busy weekend with some wonderful groups of visitors who came to share in the celebration. Now we need to turn our attention to the serious stuff like shearing, grooming and toenail trimming!
Perhaps you can understand why booking your visit ahead of time is essential. DM or Tel: 250 948 3675

BIG EXCITEMENT! The main Tribe were allowed out to forage yesterday and they were ecstatic! Excitement seems to loosen the connection between head and neck. It looks like Hermes is about to lose his head completely!
The Llama Sanctuary is open 7 days a week, year round, so if you would like to get to know some of these delightful creatures, book a visit: Tel: 250 948 3675

If you're still on-the-fence about switching from laundry detergent to ozone, watch this short video where we demonstrate seriously soiled llama laundry being washed in ozonated cold water, not even using a washing machine!
The video features Haven, who was 'bed-ridden' a couple of years ago after being severely burned.
Join our Win-Win-Win Fundraiser, help The Llama Sanctuary and receive one of these ozone machines or the more advanced ozone and silver laundry machine!

Rico the Llama Shivering Violently
Give a moment of conscious thought for the animal kingdom today. With great Tearcicles hanging from his eyelashes, Rico really suffers in the cold and was shivering violently this morning. It was -31 degrees at The Llama Sanctuary this morning with a face-breaking wind-chill.
