Llama Drama

Our rescue llamas arrived on Saturday.  (We adopted them from Southeast Llama Rescue.) Meet Powderpuff and Ivory (a.k.a. Ivory Snow but that's a lot to say!).  They are sweet but still a bit shy.

Here's Powderpuff:

 (Yep, she's huge.)

And Ivory:

It's been raining pretty much the whole time they've been here.  Ivory likes to hang out in the hoop house.  We've taken the straw out to make room for Powderpuff but she doesn't go in for more than a few minutes at a time.

Powderpuff could go in the barn or the hoop house but she stays out in the rain.

Powderpuff is avoiding the barn because the sheep are in there.  Both llamas walk in, take one look at the sheep, and walk back out.  That went on all day yesterday.  Today they are staring at the sheep and intermittently making alarm calls (which sound a bit like a giant duck quacking).  The sheep are not concerned.   I'm hoping to make some progress this afternoon.  The sheep really, really want out of the barn.

I guess they want to stand in the rain, too.
