This began when a new person was appointed with a new badge to check on animals and she looked over our fence.

We were the only people in the county with alpacas, so I suppose I should give them a break. However, maybe not, they could have gone to the library.

Good for you for showing them the error of their ways. My first thought is always who would have complained. I'll bet they were flabbergasted when you showed up with all that documentation. Of course, they didn't want to read it all. A picture is worth a thousand words and your baby llama is adorable. So glad there are people like you and your husband who take the time to educate people about animals they have never seen or heard of before.

You're right, we are dangerous ...Hi C-ingspots,<br />You're right, we are dangerous people with vicious animals! <br /><br />:-) I've been a lot of things in my former life. :-) When it comes to animals I'll become whatever it requires. Remember the starving horse? I was a night stalker for that situation, wore a black hoodie to feed the horse at midnight. You know how it is, we want the best for animals and don't hesitate to try our best to see they get it.Strawberry Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10555143299042580481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763029132038701482.post-69999218086171696132012-11-14T17:17:58.306-08:002012-11-14T17:17:58.306-08:00Hi Sallie,
