I was deciding that I wasn't so sure about the llama moving in and playing "Alpha Farm Animal" with Dan. <BR/><BR/>After reading the real thing behind the ears it actually makes me wish some morning treats Miss Llama's way. But I know that you are probably taking care of that. Funny how you can see both things in this picture.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16538805235675189485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1159314620040329502006-09-26T18:50:00.000-05:002006-09-26T18:50:00.000-05:00Hi Everyone,It was really interesting going back a...Hi Everyone,<BR/>It was really interesting going back and looking carefully at this photo after reading the first few comments. I realized that if you don't know what is actually going on, it does indeed give the impression that DDD is a bit nervous and seems ready to back away from his treats. And the llama does have a pretty stern look on her face.<BR/><BR/>But Ann figured out what was really happening, and I don't think I could have phrased it any better myself, LOLOL.<BR/><BR/>A bit of background:<BR/>Dan was enjoying his morning treats when he suddenly looked up and found a llama peering curiously down at him. (Llamas are practically silent when they move and thus can sneak up on unsuspecting creatures with ease.)<BR/><BR/>The ears went back, and he was ready to defend his breakfast! Sharing with Cary is one thing. Sharing with somebody bigger than you is something else entirely.<BR/><BR/>Of course it kind of wasn't fair posting just this one photo, as it by no means tells the ENTIRE story of what has been going on around here lately. (Let's just say Miss Llama had every right to be casually inspecting Dan's treats.) I didn't want to give the wrong impression--I just love the photo and couldn't resist sharing it.<BR/><BR/>Our mornings have become quite complicated (and I've been taking the pictures to prove it). In fact, Joe says that he can't go down and take care of the animals first thing in the morning anymore (letting me, say, sleep in a little) because he knows that we have so many little rituals and routines that he would inevitably not only mess up--but probably piss off half the critters in the process! (And nobody wants a bunch of hungry barnyard animals pissed off at you, LOL.) This is definitely not some lazy excuse--I know he's right. One of these days I'll hopefully have a chance to describe our mornings in more detail for those who are interested. Like I said, I've been collecting photographic evidence.<BR/><BR/>Now Lindy (The Super Chicken),<BR/>A super chicken intervention is an admirable and caring idea, BUT have you already forgotten <A HREF="http://foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/2006/07/daily-farm-photo-72106.html" REL="nofollow"><B>what happened the last time you flew the coop?</B></A> I haven't. Geez.<BR/><BR/>Finnyknits,<BR/>Oh yes, we certainly have a power struggle (or two or three) going on around here. And as for me having power--ha! Right. Sometimes I am allowed to <I>think</I> I wield true power and am in charge of everything, but, really, we all know that's so not true. I'm a Slave To Quadrupeds (And Poultry). Good thing I love my job (and they're all so cute and entertaining).Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1159289466645449062006-09-26T11:51:00.000-05:002006-09-26T11:51:00.000-05:00"Dude.
