a donkey llama kinda day

our llama, the donkey llama that is, has just been looking miserable in this Texas heat. After feeding him this morning, I decided to brush the gabillion grass spurs hopeless tangled in his fur. He loved it! So I kept brushing and brushing. After I got his neck all clean and soft I decide to give shaving a try. I have never shaved any animal before, so I wasn't sure how he or I would even do. But I think he was liking the idea of taking off his winter coat. He sat still and was wonderful. But that's some serious amount of shaving, so he needed a nap under the tree before we continue. I'll finish him up when the temperature drops a little. I feel much more confident in my animal grooming skills, so that's a good thing!
