This morning, I decided to take several bags of squished hot dog rolls over to my neighbor's livestock crew. You know the saying, "No good deed goes unpunished?" Well I got my punishment this morning!
The animals always get excited when they see me coming with a trash bag because they know it's leftovers. About 100 ducks and chickens, two llamas, a sheep, a pony and two emus started pushing their heads through the fence and shoving others away so they will be first.
I broke apart the first bag and started handing them out. One of the emus, the black llama and the pony were the hungriest. Did you know an emu can swallow a whole hot dog bun in one gulp? However, I did discover that hamburger buns stick to the roof of their mouths with bun hanging out on either side. Have you ever had to wrestle the head of an emu to pry the bun loose? I have.
I love buns!
So, the big guys were getting their buns whole while I shredded buns for the littler birds. Finally, the white llama and a sheep came over for food. One bun to the sheep...yum! yum! One handed to the white llama and bad attitude all over both of us. She leaned her head forward, rared back and let it fly. Llama spit in my hair and on my shirt. Thank heavens I hadn't had my shower yet or I really would have thrown a hissy fit! Instead, I rared back and pelted her with hot dog buns. I think she won!
The good llama (I'm afraid the white one will spit on my camera!)
I am thankful that it is spit llamas sling instead of something that rhymes with spit! I'm off to the shower!

That is too funny--I wonder if everyone who owns llamas gets spit on. An emu ran into our yard a couple years ago with the sheriff right behind him (this isn't a joke although it sure sounds like one). It took them forever to round him up and they only managed it after he was totally exhausted. It was hilarious!
Sounds like you have your own homemade Zoo!
