Llama

Never in a million years would I have thought I would own a llama. Now, with some Grand and Reserve Champions under my belt it is all becoming surreal. Who would have thought I could take the most dangerous animal and turn her into nothing but a sweetheart. I spent countless days and night working with her and I would not trade her for the world, but if it was November 2015 I am not sure I would have said that. Buying my llama was one of the best decisions I have made, but eight months ago I thought I had completely screwed up. Finding a llama in your price range that is the one you are looking for can be another battle. These animals can be anywhere from $500-$25,000, so finding the right one can be a long wait. Llamas can also have different builds so to speak however, there are no breeds to llamas. Some prefer the athletic, taller animals while others like ones that have more wool and look bigger. I wanted a tall athletic animal that also had a wow factor. I spent at least three…

our country is severely deprived of tap dancing llamas. Ever since president Hoover banned all Chilean llama imports in 1929, sparking the stock market crash, the U.S. has been steadily deteriorating. To solve this problem I would strongly advise every U.S. citizen to invest in a personal tap dancing llama. By the age of five all children should be leashed to their llama. This constant contact with their llama can solve many childhood problems like obesity and…

During family literacy night I was able to practice my DLTA lesson and my storytelling lesson. A variety of students asked to hear a story first and others asked to be read to. The book I read was Llama Llama and the Bully Goat, and the story I told was The Gingerbread Man with a different ending from the traditional story. Family Literacy Night was a great opportunity to practice my storytelling skills, and practice what questions allow them to think deeper. Although I enjoyed it there were…

Alpacas Llamas and alpacas may seem to be the same animal, but many differences show the separation. Alpacas are actually ½ to ⅓ of the size of llamas, and are vastly different in the way they live. Alpacas are actually ancient animals that were domesticated around 6,000 years ago. They have a very long, intricate history, with many physical characteristics; similar to llamas, but they differ with their divergent habits, and separate purposes. Both do ultimately relate back to the camelid…

Today when I walked into the room the kids were cleaning up from independent play. I went over to Faith and helped her clean up and then we went to sit on the rug. She asked me to sit on the kangaroo next to her and told me how Kylie sat on the kangaroo before. She sat next to me and told me what she did while waiting for the rest of the children to settle down for story. Skylar sat down and began to read “Llama Llama Red Pajama.” Overall, I think story went okay. It seemed as if the children…

Stefani Stefani is my new Llama. He is a rescue animal who came from Michigan. His mom’s name is Gwen so when he was born they named him Stefani. I first met him when we were at a fiber festival in Franklin Indiana. I volunteered to help teach people about Llamas and Alpacas and spent about 6 hours “playing” with Stefani and had to have him! The process to adopt him was took about a 2 months from the day we met him to the day he arrived at the farm that we are boarding at. I learned a…

She doesn’t talk about her pain to her children and neither does Llama bring it up ever. My respect for Llama grew, whom I assumed to be a lazy man following the Kumaoni traditions. And Lolita! She will always be one woman whom I will admire. We have not seen superheroes but I celebrate people like Lolita every day, who fights her battles like a true queen. Today, she is the Panchayat of her village, she does her daily chores and works for women empowerment of her village. She and Llama are…
