Lily Is Here!

Well Lily arrived safe and sound this afternoon. We picked her up and brought her home without issue. She does not like to walk on a lead, but we will work on that.

She is settling in well. Kiwi is indifferent to her, all he cares about is food! Ebony is more put off by Lily right now and has been spitting at her a bit. But Ebony and Kiwi are used to living as a group of 2, so its an adjustment.

They are all doing pretty well when out in the big field - lots of space. Its when they are in close quarters that they quarrel a bit. They look really nice together.


Off for a little run!

They are loving the tender grass that is starting to grow! Lily has never seen horses before and was/is a little worried about them, but the llamas are not in with the horses now, so she can get used to them without having to be around them.

The lady that I bought Lily from is very nice - I 9otld her about breeding Ebony and how I did not think she was pregnant and she said she would bring her stud llama over in may and let him breed both Ebony and Lily so they can both have babies next year!! That will work great - then the girls will not be stressed by trailering and hopefully they will both get pregnant and havinf lovely babies. Or maybe Ebony is pregnant....I guess only time will tell.

Lily observing her new surroundings. She is such a pretty girl. The llamas are all scheduled to be shearing in a couple of weeks - that should be interesting!

Spring!

Well Kiwi and Ebony have been anxious to get out to the back pastures. They are tired of being cooped up for the winter and wanted some space to run around. The ground is still too soft to let the horses out be we have allowed the llamas to go out the back and have some fun.

This is Lilly. She is our newest addition and we will be picking her up on Sunday. She is a gorgeous white llama with very soft fibre. She will look very nice with Kiwi and Ebony, as they are both very dark and Lilly is very light.

Here is Kiwi taking a walk out in the back pastures...you can see the grass is starting to come up and the trees are looking green. I love spring...not all the mud (thanks horses!) but the new life, both animal and plant, the new colours and the warmer weather.

I am not certian, but I do not think Ebony is pregnant anymore. I think she probably absorbed the pregnancy a long time ago. She is not big looking, has no milk and is past her due date. I think we should have been seeing something by now. Will still keep our fingers crossed that there is a little one hiding in there somewhere.
