Minimal posting tonight as well
Had a Chamber of Commerce board meeting tonight and then helped Jen stock and close at the store. We just got back in and are both very tired.
One of our Llamas (Willy) has made the wonderful discovery that if you jump high enough, you can clear the fence of the paddock. Just wonderful. He did it yesterday, we got him back in and he did it again today. (Our first llama pair we named Pancho and Lefty; we continued the "bad boy" riff on our second pair with Waylon and Willie -- except for Pancho, the names they came to us with were not anything we liked so a change was in order.)
I was going into town for some stuff anyway so I picked up some electric fence material and tomorrow will have a little surprise for them. The present fence is woven wire and they were bending over it as the grass is always greener on the other side. This got the fence pushed down far enough that it is no longer five feet tall; more like three. I will be stringing a shock wire across the very tops of the poles so this should effectively put a stop to that little behavior pattern...
Planning on spending tomorrow at home helping a good friend who we are hiring to do some work on the farm.
Life goes on...
