OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

[cluckitall]

Thought I'd check in. Went to the last horse show of the year yesterday and came home with three 1st place, one 2nd place, and 2 grand champion. All against competition. Was only entered in those 6 classes. Can't complain!

Josh made it to Kansas ok this morning. He finally called me and was getting ready to take a shower and go get his paperwork done so he could start working. Still sucks but I do feel better since he made it out ok. I how everyone is doing well.

COngratulations on your horsies!!! That's wonderful! I'd love to get a mini but I can't afford it right now :-( I'm glad your Josh made it out there safe! (I've got a very special Josh, too, but he's my son

) We'll help keep you busy and the time will go by before you know it

Kirsten and DelcoChix, I'm sorry I missed meeting you at the swap!

I'm up to 9 quail now! 7 doing excellent in the brooder. 2 keeping the cornish chick company in the incubator (I don't expect any of those 3 to thrive. Chick seems to have neurological problems and both quail chicks have badly curled toes..tried to make shoes for them but their feet are just too tiny.), and one more still in the egg. I started doing eggtopsies and that little one was still alive. I zipped a bit for him and just left him be. If he comes out, he comes out, if he doesn't, he probably shouldn't have anyways. I can see already that his beak is a bit malformed. 2 others (including one that had pipped) passed away in egg, both deformed (small heads, eyes not formed properly, and overgrown or scissor beaked). Poor little squirts.

Congrats on the wins, Mandy!! Glad SO made it safely!

In other news, there's a random stray llama walking around in front of my house.
Must have got loose from the neighbors' place. DH wanted to toss a rope around it but I advised against that. So he's going up the road to see if the llama folks are home (rumor has it they moved awhile back..surely they didn't leave this big guy behind..). Not something you see everyday. "Hey hon, I think someone just walked by the window." *opens door to greet guest* "Uh, yep. It's a llama."

Yay! Go quails go!

Holy llama! I almost peed myself I laughed so hard! . It's not everyday you get a visit from a llama! But I do hope that someone didn't leave him there that would be pretty sad.

ShayBaby, that's a riot!! Man I miss living in the country. Where I am is more like suburbs -- or at least none of my neighbors have livestock!

On the other hand, it would mean ShayBaby just inherited a llama... I wouldn't mind inheriting a llama!

Llamas are just so cute... Though I can do without the spitting!

Turns out it was the alpaca folks that moved. Llama folks weren't home except for their autistic (20+) son, so DH tries to round up the llama with him. Seems he wants to be a Drama Llama, though, so he'll be adventuring until the folks get home. Strangely made my day. LOL.

You think rounding them up is an adventure, you should try sheering them. The place we go hunting in Wyoming has two of them that they bought many years back to protect the sheep. Strangely, the sheep and llamas were usually at opposite ends of the ranch. Anyway, a few years back they decided they were going to sheer them. Much hilarity ensued for about 20 minutes or so. Finally the ranch hand said the heck with it and walked away. He was tired of getting spit at and wrestling with the llama. They haven't attempted it since.

LOL! That would make my day, too! I have a rescue llama named Tony who guards my precious chickies when I can't be there. He is the most hilarious character and one of the greatest additions to my farm...and never, ever offers to spit.

Mandy, I'm so glad that Josh made it to his job okay. Hopefully this separation will be worth it in the end and that the time will fly by!

I love all these ideas for the Delaware Swap next year! I was just talking to Scott about it last night. Some things that we want to try to incorporate would be a charity element (charge a small fee for space and donate the proceeds to a local charity, other ideas, too), food (YAY!) and the educational option sounds good as well. Keep those ideas rolling in!

The next time I join any website, that's going to be my new username, lol! Can I steal it? "Drama Llama", I LOVE IT!!!
