we have a lot of coyotes around here the occasional bobcat or even a big cat and lots of vermin like possums and Coons skunks. I have used llamas for the last 5 years but I just lost another one apparently he had a stomach full of ulcers go figure and they're just too hard to find. I only had him less than 9 months and I'm not sure what his past was or how old he was. Anyway, I'm moving to guardian dogs though they're not really my favorite animal. not that I'm particularly against dogs they're just demanding. I am hoping the guardian dogs are not like that.

They need their basics, food ,water, shelter, some vaccination and a medical treatment in time to time. But they don't need to be taken around 2 times a day, no coddling, no need to be inside the house, they are very tough dogs that feel part of the herd and protect it.

I certainly hope so right now I'm having to keep him in a cage cuz the weather's been really poor and I haven't had time to introduce him. My goats aren't used to dogs I just got them both and so it's kind of a bit of work at the moment and the weather is not cooperating. the hope is soon that will ease. since he's so young I'm going to put him with the babies that are due starting around the 20th in a very small area and at least he'll be attached to them and they'll be used to him the adults are going to have to get used to the Anatolian once she's out of her pen. then in February I'm supposed to get another pup from the other litter that is half Anatolian and half Great Pyrenees. a second female. it will just be a while till the dogs are ready to really take over because two are young.
I also have to move the llama as soon as these guys are introduced to the goats fully in with the boys because he's not going to accept the dogs but I need him right now because the dogs aren't ready it's a juggling issue.

So what have you been up to besides a nice vacation? for my vacation this last year I hiked the Teton Crest Trail. 42 mi in 4 days thousands of feet of up and down and hurricane passes absolutely stunningly beautiful paint brush is supposed to be beautiful but it went from 70° one day to snowing and blowing 50 miles an hour when I was at 10,800 FT with a backpack going over Paintbrush divide and it's supposed to be scary on the backside when it's not snowing and of course part of the glacier had a snow blown in it wasn't the plan but you always have to be ready in mountains like that. it was still a great challenge, and fun. it would have been more fun to have gone with my friend to glacier National Park like we were supposed to but they couldn't get their head out of their covid for Backcountry campsites that is the height of stupidity of course most of this is not really scientific and stupid.

Very beautiful!
This year(has you probably noticed.....:lau) is completely crazy year! So I have learned how to teach with Zoom application, learned how to walk with face mask and how to live in a over all curfew. Basically all the fun stuff......

I may be living with cancer & a compromised ticker, but this Covid nonsense hasn't affected me as much as it has a lot of people. For the most part, my routine hasn't changed. I habitually don't leave the place much, anyway, unless I need something I can't get on Amazon, or I have a doctor's appointment. The fact that I drove less than 2,000 miles last year will bear that out.

Happy New Year, my friends; may it be happier and healthier than the last for us all.
