Homeschooling in the High Desert

My Husband, the Llama wrestler!

So here I am again. I didn't think I would have time to do another entry. This is kind of a fun thing..so here goes. My husbsand has a new hobby, it is called Llama Wrestling! See, we are caretaking for my Aunt and she has two llamas. She insists that they are docile and easily dominated creatures. We are told by the "experts" that we have spoken with that if you corner a Llama they will surrender (kind of like France :)

 So, he attempted to halter the little one "Scott". We were told that "Scott" has had a halter on before (WE WERE LIED TO). So my husband and his friend Scott (not the llama) walk into the corral and start to corner him and that didn't work, so then he tries to get him in a headlock and well, that didn't work (although it was funny). So he gets a rope and gets him (after 27 times) and then the dumb llama tries to hang himself! SOOO my husband tries the rope/headlock combo.

Well, needless to say, the Llama DID NOT give up, the halter IS NOT on him and they are definitely NOT docile! So we think the Llama may not be French after all (oh, you didn't know Llamas originated in France, me neither). We have now renamed him "Scott the Terrible". Mind you this cute little 100 pound white fluff ball LOOOKS sweet and innocent, but man does he have a strong neck!! Any Llama experts have any tips?

Now we retire, me and my Llama Wrestling husband, hope he doesn't get any ideas!! 5am comes quickly!

Hey Jennifer!

Welcome to HSB and thanks for the nice comment on my blog! 5 AM comes early for me too and fortunately I was able to wake up and read this hilarious story about Llama wrestling! Nothing better than hilarious laughter before the first cup o' joe!
Have a great day and I'll add you to my friends list.

Blessings,

Jun. 5, 2007 - Goats and llamas might be similar.

Posted by spearce
My brother Ray has goats. They might be similar to llamas. I don't think he has had any adventures like your husband's, though!

Ray milks his goats and home schooled his son and daughter until two years ago. His son then started ninth grade and his daughter started sixth grade, in public school. They are doing super well in school.

I home schooled my four sons. You can read about it on my blog page.
