We have a llama ! We’d thought he was supposed to arrive yesterday, but then we got an email that that was wrong & he was going to arrive today, but then we got a call from the driver, and he *did* arrive yesterday ! We have a llama !

His name is Jim, and he’s dark brown and rangy, with a white blaze. The cats all came down to see what was going on, as we were leading him up the driveway & he seems pretty cool with them — curious, but not aggressive. When we first put him in the dog run, the alpacas came running up to see him, and Pointer gave the most amazing sqeak of a hum. Hee. Jim clucked at them ! Apparently that’s some kind of dominance thing, the clucking.

He’s in the paddock with them now, but so far is more interested in the grass than in his short fluffy cousins. (They don’t feed them while they’re on the truck, and he only got hay overnight.)

On the alpaca front, the girls we are buying get their vet checks today & then they’ll be on their way. Wow, things are moving !
