Well. another new week begins. My neice lets us keep our sanctuary llamas and alpacas, during the spring , summer and fall months., on her back pasture. Every morning about 8:00 I walk out to the fenceline and open the panel and stand next to it, as they slowly make their way out to the field. Some of them , like poppy, are still a little skittish so I stand their purposely. SOmetimes they walk by and sometimes they RUN BY. This is a great time for me to do a good check up on each. They have certain spots they like to lay out in during the day. Then they come up to the barn area for shade and then it starts over again. About lunch time they are being lazy so I walk over by the driveway as their is a nest of 4 eggs that belong to the Kildeer parents who make sure it is known and they do not want me near it. Guess what? I am their guardian person. This is a second nest. I always put some large rocks around the nests so no one drives over it. After heading back to the barn it is time to get to work. I have only a few llamas and one alpaca left to shear. Also they want their treat as Bryley and Smoke get special treat, the elderly's. When evening time comes about 8:30 p.m. I then HAVE TO WALK OUT TO THE FAR PASTURE. As I go out the gate I just say"TIME TO GO UP" and they Know the drill now but I say it anyway, makes me feel important, LOL. BUT Mr. Pintlar makes me walk WAY out there, then he gets up , takes his time , follows a trail and ALWAYS has to STOP AND ITCH HIS BUTT and then when he is ready, mosey on up. I love it. Got my exercise before bed.
