On Guard

Guarding the Flock
Shelburne, Massachusetts

A few months ago, I posted about Llamas being used to protect sheep against coyote attacks. It seems that this idea is becoming popular with more farmers, as I discovered on a recent 'photo excursion'. If you missed my previous post, you may see it by clicking here.

Dolly Llama

If you are familiar with my blog, you know I was going to
give her a name!

She looks so proud of her name and she should be. :) She actually reminds me of a sheep that shoud be on a basketball team in the top picture. :)

The lama is cute and looks so graceful, but since she's there to protect the sheep, she probably can stand her ground too:)

The Llama is a lovely creature, almost cuddly to look at her.

Dolly Llama, that's a good one, Sunny. Their faces are so cute, I want one.
I hope the coyotes don't hide in one of those sheep coats.
