Ceasar, our gelding alpaca, needed his nails trimmed. He stood compliantly and allowed us to manhandle him to get the job done. He also needed to be walked a bit on the halter. He walked calmly around the paddock on the lead until he saw the boys in the next paddock looking at him. The boys were trying to stand at the fence (thinking they were going to breed). Ceasar says, " AAAH NOOO! They think I'm a girl!" After that Ceasar just kept looking at the shed he wanted to hide in and wasn't concentrating on the task of walking.
Next was Amanda. She also hadn't been haltered since shearing. Calmly she walked around with her head erect and proud. Occasionally looking at her offspring, "See my dahlings, this is how it is done!" I said, " Amanda, you are beautiful." She said, "I know".
Last week my grands were here after we went on a spring break vacation. The last morning they were here they went outside to play. A few minutes later they came runnng back in. "That rooster is chasing us!" I said, "You just have to make him understand that you're bigger than he is!" Put your arms up and make yourself seem really big and he'll leave you alone! (Dumb advise grandma). So I walked out to where the rooster was and walked right up to him with my arms up and looking him right in the eye screaming at him while I approached and he ran toward me and attacked my foot! Fortunately I had shoes on and he didn't do any damage, but if I'd had flip-flops on...? We'll soon be getting chicks. Think I'll find a big stewpot for that rooster!
...farm living is the life for me!
What will you be remembered for?
When I look at my Currier & Ives dishes I think of my grandmother that passed away nearly 40 years ago. She had these same dishes
When I think about my grandchildren being tall, I see my 6'2" father, who passed away 10 years ago.
When I tell a cancer patient that we don't want them to be nauseated, I think of a friend that died of cancer 35 years ago. Back then, chemotherapy meant nausea and vomiting period.
When I hear of a young person killed in a car accident, I think of my uncle that suffered this fate at only 16 years of age. This one event may have changed the direction of my entire family.
I have a Princess Diana doll that still makes me sad.
Will you be remembered for your money, dishes, hobby, job, a building named after you, the manner that you died?
I watched a DVD this evening at a funeral home. The great lady always had a baby in her arms, children at her elbow, her husband in her eyes, and a sweet smile on her face. Wouldn't we all like to be remembered this way?
just thoughts.
