This morning, as I was heading off to the doctors, 2 women walking #Malamutes saw me hopping into the car & asked if their dogs could get a closer look at the #alpacas & #lambs.
They were on our driveway & the dogs kept looking at our animals & we’re doing lots of head tilting, looking confused.
I said “sure” & we drove off.
The alpacas & lambs had been still eating lucerne & in the rear vision mirror we saw Ozzie move to the gate to put himself between the visitors & his “herd”.
#Lambs & #alpacas have been fed. 2°Celsius out there at the moment!
I’m off to my appointment with the Dr to get a #fluShot & talk to about my recurring #BellsPalsy symptoms.
This week I have had 2 solid days of the behind the ear “earache” plus my lips doing the Mexican wave. Sigh.
You might be wondering how we keep the bottom of the willow tree's branches all at the same height above the ground.
Wonder no more.
During a break in the rain the alpacas decided to chase each other around.
Another truckload of #lucerne arrived this morning.
#Lambs & #alpacas are loving it.
This morning I fed them some #lucerne & #poppedlupins.
Just now I gave the #MudBrothers some more carrots (the huge, long ones #Woolies sell as #TheOddBunch. I slice lengthwise & each big carrot becomes 4.) & another bale of lucerne.
Chaser pictured, eating something like his 12th carrot of the day. So far. (He’s ignoring the newest bale of lucerne & hoping for more #carrots.)
It’s been a fairly painful day. Both shoulders have been hurting since the weekend & it’s only gotten worse. (*Hauling bales of lucerne around doesn’t help).
I think it’s time for #cortisone #injections. (It’s been years since my last - a decade maybe?)
Next week’s pension, I’ll see if my neighbours will let me pay their teenage son to do the lucerne feeds.
*The better half says he’s terrified of the #alpacas since Ozzie reared up & head butted me into the fence. I’ll explain Carrot fever!
