I just love it!

It was just for you.

There were other hidden clues. Like this in a Koffe Klatch Wednesday Wherever post on @Ribh thread.

If you look at my calendar like I expected you, MJ, in particular might do.

I'm not much of a snoop I'm afraid. It never occurred to me to look beyond the cookie on the mug.

Nice clue though!

My youngest daughter's father in law has a farm in MI. They have sheep and had llamas to protect them. Had. One of their distant neighbors had a vicious dog, I no longer remember the breed. It got loose and the llamas were each crippled while fighting it to keep it from the sheep. They all had to be put down (I think it was 3 of them). It broke his heart. I could tell as he told us the story. Of course the dog was put down but restitution was minimal as llamas have no real production value.

I will ask but I don't think the llamas caused any reproductive drop off.

They need to recalculate the llama value. They produce wool too.

My tribe is warped somehow. I'm sure all I need is a good rooster, right?

Get the right one and the neighborhood will never know. Storm's biological dad is a blue laced red wyandotte (color looks more splash than blue) who's voice is the oddest I've ever heard in a rooster. It's quiet and rather high pitched with no real carrying sound. When he crows, it's a full roo-eroo-erooooo, just without the projection and at least an octave (probably closer to 1.5) higher than most roosters.
