A Female Llama Cria at Last

Lla Traviata has done the right thing and come up with our first female llama cria for the season.  She was a bit of a surprise because I didn't think Lla Trav was pregnant... but I've been proven wrong!!  (Not the first time!!)  We've decided to call her Aster :)

Llama Boy Season

Our third llama cria was born on December 23rd, Sweet Pea delivered a slightly undercooked male cria.  He is a third son for Totem, and we've named him Cheetaro.  Happily it was a normal delivery and he is doing very well, ear tips a bit floppy and down on his  bumpers at birth, but that's already changing.

Why Sunday??

My last 2 'we need a vet' incidents have been on Sundays - yesterday's was Michelle's turn with a birthing problem.  A trip to Crookwell Veterinary Hospital and it was quickly sorted, a healthy fully cooked male cria was the end result.  Vet Rob Churchill's wife Jenny and her friend Sue decided he should be named Banksia and known as Banksy because of his artistically applied colour :)  Pleased to say that Michelle is being a great mum as usual and everything is going well.  A second son for Totem.

Sevanna is Blossoming

While Beth and Ste were here there were more hands to give out treats, this meant that animals that were a bit shy in coming forward had more opportunity to 'try out' hand feeding.  One to benefit from this was Sevanna who took a real shine to Ste :)  Of course Jade and Milly are always front row for treats!!

Youngest Puts the Star on the Tree

Young Jake continuing the tradition - the youngest gets to put the star on the tree :)

Sunday with Scarlett

Scarlett knows that when I pull out the camera, she needs to smile.. and then... she wants to see the picture on the back of the camera... and then to scroll through all the other pictures.  Too clever for her own good!

Freya's solution to Ninja (the cat) and Scarlett wanting to undecorate the Christmas tree was to buy a twin palm tree Christmas tree... the cat was thwarted, but Scarlett just gets a chair and tries to achieve her goals!!
