Okay, if you've never seen nor heard the llama song, you must watch it now. It will stick with you for a while....and you will understand the title of this blog.
I have a friend that raises llamas. A couple of weeks ago, my dear friend was in a serious car accident that left her with multiple broken bones. Two days after the accident, her husband arrived home from work to find that one of their llamas had given birth and then died.

Stephanie and I went over and got the cria (baby llama) and brought her here. We have been bottle feeding her goat milk until my friend is well enough to take over her care. Stephanie was nicknamed "The Llama Whisperer" for a few years now. When she was 12 or 13, she was able to calm a full grown male llama (400 pounds) enough for us to shear him. He had never been handled and she had the magic touch. I have pictures of that here somewhere.....I should find them.
Anyway, my broken friend had another llama give birth last night. All went well this time and she got this really cool spotted llama. 
The llama mama is doing fine.
Please forgive me if you still have the llama song in your head. It sticks with you. Kinda like these furry guys do.

This baby is ADORABLE. I think I am a homesteader trapped in a city life..... Perhaps it is in my future.
I am actually considering chickens. Many of our friends have them in their yards... Don't know if I can talk Chino into it, however.
