We now have the rogue llama in the new paddock alongside her brother.

We had to make a shute of 4' X 8' chip board. It was about 100' long.

It then took another day to get her into the holding pen so that we could get her into the shute.

I had to sneak out early on Tuesday morning and creep up on her in the holding pen and shut the gate quick.

Having done that it was very easy to get her down the shute and into the new paddock.

That was the easy part.

We have built the paddock directly off the barn and made a door way into a double stable as a run in shelter.

Problem is that the llamas won't go into the barn.

I have been feeding them by hand from a bucket, coaxing them closer to the door, but they just wont come in.

Then today it started to snow.

We went out to fgriends for supper and got back around 9:30pm.

We went to check the animals as the snow had been falling all evening.

It is the kind of wet snow that we get in the UK.

Slippery cold, damp and horrible.

The big horses have their nice field shelter so they should be fine, but as yet the ponies have nowhere actually inside to go.

So we got the ponies in and put them in a box for the night and then went to see what we could do with the llamas.

I took a bucket of food and a lead rope and after a while managed to get hold of Fabian.

He wasn't happy but we got him into the barn and put him in a stable.

Again though we couldn't get anywhere near Tasha.

So she is laying down in the field getting covered in snow and I am up at 1:30am worrying about her and writing my blog.

Tommorow we will be making another shute in an attempt to get her into the barn.

If we can get her in then we will keep them both in for at least a week and try to get them used to us and the barn.

This week the dog visited the vets to be fixed.

He is supposed to be kept on restricted exerscise for two weeks!

We kept him quiet for a day or two, but he was going stir crazy and stealing shampoo bottles and toilet brushes from the bathroom and generaly driving us nuts.

So now he is coming out off lead for a while each day.

I must go to bed now and try and get some sleep ready to do battle with Tasha tomorrow.
