Dolly llama has become obsessed with the little bits of hay seed and chaff left over in the bottom of the feed bucket after I give the animals their flakes of hay in the morning:
She gobbles up these seeds, seed husks, and tiny pieces of hay as if they were the tastiest delicacy in the world. Look at that mouth. You don't want to ask her for a kiss after she does this or else you will be enjoying these seeds, seed husks and tiny pieces of hay in your mouth, too. I speak from personal experience:
And I'm certain she won't admit it, but I think she is starting to enjoy it when I do this as I'm leaving:
Baby steps.
I do believe that Dolly llama is starting to become friendly! Isn't it cute how each animal has their own little peculiar likes & dislikes?
ReplyDeletePlease give Dolly a messy llama kiss from Lynn in Maryland!
"Dolly Llama" - how is I never picked up on that before? *slapping forehead*
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute face. I didn't catch "Dolly Llama" either, I like that.
ReplyDeletesee? If you name her something great, like Dolly Llama, she eventually has to find her happiness...
ReplyDeleteRofl that is what Sugarcube's face looks like when she leaves the mineral bucket ROFL...she loves the mineral bucket!
ReplyDeleteLOL! We all have our quirks...animals and people alike :):)
ReplyDeleteHi Dolly!!!! Ha! You can hardly see her cute heart shaped nose with all that messy seed on her face. Silly girl.
ReplyDeleteI love that shes found such a tasty treat for herself tho.
Too cute! She knows the good stuff when she finds it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she thinks you are saving the best for last, or at least to her it is.
ReplyDeleteMessy face!! Glad the Dolly Llama is warming up to pets!
ReplyDeleteI love watching an animal enjoy her food with gusto. It's fun to see them go after every last bite and appreciating every last bite. That is clearly evident in these pics! Thanks for sharing! And hey, Dolly is no dummy, she knows who is buttering her bread!
ReplyDeleteOkay, admittedly I'm not usually so slow, but I just got this ... Dolly Llama! Perhaps even THE Dolly Llama! Ha! Ha! Ha! I kill me.
ReplyDeleteDolly will get there....as you said, baby steps. Sometimes some baby steps are just smaller than others ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love that 3rd picture. My kids give me that look all the time--"What! Can't you see I'm busy here?"
ReplyDeleteI'm glad she's slowly thawing to having you touch her. Whatever works, works. :)
We call that hay dust around these parts. The goats love it too...
ReplyDeleteDolly is such a pretty girl. I just love her sweet little face. I bet those hay seed kisses are extra sweet too. I think you're the Llama Whisperer, Danni. I like this post.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely face she has and how great she is letting you get closer. One step at a time and a bit of that good stuff at the bottom there.
ReplyDeleteOk, seriously... I love that Dolly. Really, I do. And, can I just tell you... we were watching a "funniest pet videos" show the other night as we were surfing channels and saw llamas. I instantly knew what was coming (thanks to you) when I saw raised head(s) and ears back... :) They didn't fool us for a second.
