Ready for Summer

Barack O'Llama received his annual hair cut yesterday.  Llama shearing is a completely different event than sheep shearing. The shearer can't grab one and flop him on his butt.  Instead, Barack was haltered and tied. He had the dust blown out of his fleece (I wish we had a picture of this), and then....

"Is it over yet?"
Actually, the blindfolding came a little later.  He was fine with being handled on his right side but started kicking when she started to work on his left, so she blindfolded him.  (Our shearer did say he was very well-behaved.)

He had his hooves trimmed and a vaccination, then he was on his way.  He posed for a picture....

"I still am not happy about this!"

...then went off to warn the sheep. 

Without all of his fluff, he looks really skinny--but he's not.  Barack is going to be cutting back a bit on his treats and feed.

He won't be too happy about that either.
