This morning Job was out there, as big as life, and I still wanted to pinch myself!
How long have I been wishing/dreaming/hoping for an Alpaca? Not sure that I ever really believed I'd get one, but he's here!!!
- me after the auctioneer gave me second pick
As I was watching him run in the big pasture, I had this surreal feeling of actually being in the Doctor Doolittle Movie....The original movie...didn't they have a Llama or something in the original black and white? I think he's quite beautiful when he runs!
Ernie's been having a lot of fun teasing me/tormenting me (as you'll see in the pics)
Went out this morning to try to get Job into the smaller area of our pasture up by the barn (worked for about 15 minutes, then he shot back out to the bigger field.) Our dog, Zoe, went with me. Turns out, she's good with herding! And when I called her off, or told her to stay back, she listened! Hmmmm....me thinks I need to read up on training herd dogs and work with Zoe more!
Here's the pics Ernie took this morning, in sequential order....I wasn't aware he was out there with the camera at first. In fact, the way he was positioning the camera and standing, he had me believing he was talking on the phone!
Job is off to the right in this pic, and I'm coming up from the back pasture to the smaller area. That's Boss, the calf that almost got away, in front of me.
Chase and Boss showing Job the way, and I've just realized Ernie is taking pics! I think Zoe is in there, too.
Just me. Don't know why he took this pic! Look at me, in my get down and dirty farm clothes!
Hey Look!! Fat Woman can RUN!
(I was trying to get to the entry to the back pasture to block his exit!)
Definitely think I'm going to have to practice a lot of patience with him!
When I get him a wife, I think I'll name her Patience!
Now why didn't I think of that?! DUH!
