No place like home

I don't exactly know what to title this post-maybe after I finish i will think of an appropriate one.

Yesterday Mark put up a new fence for the llamas that had luscious grass over a foot high. The boys have been lusting over it and trying to get out of their pasture (and sometimes succeeding) to get there. We haltered them all and brought them to their new "home" for a few hours (actually thought maybe a couple of days). Well............didn't take that long-maybe 3-4 hours one of them got their head stuck and pulled out the stakes to get out. We finally decided that it wasn't going to work to leave them there so we opened up their gate (to their home) and let 2 of them run down the driveway without halters on and they ran right into their own "home" pasture we let the remainder run and they followed right into their "home" pasture. :-) It made us smile.



moral of the story: even though we think life is better and more satisfying somewhere else....there is no place like home.

Guess I never would have realized how much we can learn about life from watching and caring for animals.
