Encouraging filthiness amongst the flock??

Whahaaat? Think Dalai Llama is laughing? Snickering? He started it when the weather was rainy, and he heard he was next in line for a hair cut. I think the sheep ratted me out on that one? Or was it Bobbi the Great Pyr? One never knows!
Dalai never rolls in the mud- but he sure did a good job that day. NOW the humidity/heat feels like 108 degrees lately so I am actually encouraging filthy llamas and alpacas? Go figure!
The favorite part of my day is to go out, turn on the water hose and watch the alpacas play- llamas splash in the pool (or water tanks) and just enjoy cooling off.
The bad part being, they then speed off to their favorite dust bowl- and gleefully roll over and over and over- getting up, giving a shake, and looking at me as if to say, 'how do you like me NOW mom?' ha! Even Bobbi & Andrew (g.pyrs) and Noodle & Libby (border collies) like a good splash in the hose. Peanut & Pal (pot belly pigs) LOVE a nice shower- in the pool they dug. Noodle likes their pool too- what a muddy mess THAT ends up being-it's all good though!
Name of our game is happy critters, just wish I could convince the sheep that a shower is refreshing- they do not agree. Although they WILL sleep/stand out in a good rain shower? Again, go figure! Hope you are all staying comfy and cool- but cleaner than the clan here! mwaaahahahaha!

Sorry to hear you're having gruesome heat; guess it's most everywhere right now. Do they turn the hose on you so you can run around and play???

I wish I had a pool to play in, rather than a desk to sit at. Lucky lamas!
