I have been begging and pleading with my Dad for MONTHS now to get a llama......WHY you say? I don't know.....llamas are good for keeping predators away from cattle and sheep. We have cows (at my parents). So finally this week I found a llama that was for sale. Dad said he was "too much money" and we couldn't get it. However, the man selling him took less money for him and on Saturday (if all goes well) I will be the proud owner of a llama named Gus. I am terribly excited!!

If anyone has experience with llamas...share your knowledge. If you think I'm crazy....that's ok too

You are not crazy. We don't have llamas - but we live in suburbia. We hope to get one or two or three when we move to Montana and have sheep or goats. Good luck to you!

Good luck! Definitely post a picture of Gus for us if all goes well

Please post a pic, llamas are so cute. There is actually a llama farm by my best friends house.

Cool! Looking forward to seeing the pic of "Gus"!

Gus how cute!

There used to be a llama on a farm not far from here--I would pass by it every so often. The llama was adorable and always seemed to be standing near the fence watching the cars go by. They also has a few horses who wore the cutest "coats" in the cold weather.

Hope all goes well this weekend--I'd love to see a picture!

I just can't stop laughing that I own(will own) a llama named Gus.

Gus was abandoned by some people....that is how his current owner came to have him. This guy was going to breed llamas and "just never got around to it" so he was selling him. Gus sounds like a sweetheart and the sad abandonment story doesn't hurt my fondness for him. The guy says he's very nice, doesn't spit (which I guess is quite the bonus ) , is very curious. When I called the guy to ask about Gus...Gus was laying down outside with the guy's grandson....awwww!!

I have loaded film in the camera to take pictures. So I'll post one of him sometime soon. He doesn't arrive until Saturday and the wait is killing me!

That is sooooooooo cool!!!! You have to promise to send lots of pictures. I love it! And great name.

I am one HACKED OFF chick!! The guy who we were getting our llama from sold him out from under us (or at least I'm pretty sure he has). I am so sad and upset. I went shopping today for a comb and a collar for him............ This guy that is selling him sounds like a real piece of work......who knows if he even HAS a llama for sale.

Aww, I'm so sorry.

And I was looking forward to llama pics.

Maybe it just means that there's a better llama looking for you.
