| Message | Oh my goodness, Jackie! LOL! I sooooo didn't want to think about that!!! It didn't even cross my mind that that turns gray! So gross. Well, I rid myself of most, if not all, of that anyway, so until I'm old and decrepit anyway, that won't be an issue for me. ![]() |

| Message | HORRRAYYY!!!! for the tummy pic!!! You look adorable! And as for the gray hair... get in line. I've been coloring for years, no worries. Just be thankful that you have found one... down under... if you know what I mean!!! That area I hear is hard to color. I have no experience there, so I can't help with the details. |

| Message | lol. I actually HAD one, but it broke from the base and I don't know what happened to it. I definitely think I need to buy a new one so I can identify and pluck any suspect hairs from my head!!!! ![]() |

| Message | My real curiosity is WHY these people have six of them? Maybe I should just knock on their door and ask them if they are keeping them as pack mules or if they are using their hair (or is it fur?) for their clothes? It's all so strange. ![]() |

| Message | More that you want to know about llamas. Some people raised them as pack animals because they were into hiking and backpacking. They are well known for their sure footedness and ability to carry up to 1/3 of their body weight. They are also valued by hand spinners for their hair that is spun into fine soft fiber. If a llama has been trained for guarding other livestock, they can be of great value to sheep and goat farmers. Many are used today as sheep and goat guardians. Llamas are very intelligent and curious. They can be trained easily and remember their training forever. They are a great addition to most small farm situations as they are very easy keepers. The maintenance cost is small compared to other large farm animals. The manure is excellent for gardens, having very similar characteristics to sheep manure. |

| Message | This answer to your question 2 is that they are trying to impress you with how sophisticated they are. I put "llama farming" into Google and came up with this: "The llama (Lama glama) is a large camelid that originally came from North America, but then moved on to South America. The word llama is sometimes used more broadly, to show four closely related animals that make up the South American branch of the llama's family, Camelidae: the true llama, the vicuña, alpaca, and guanaco. Llamas are generally friendly animals. Most llamas are brought up in sophisticated, loving families. If a llama must defend itself, it does so by spitting. The llama will spit on other llamas or people if it feels threatened. Normally, though, a llama will flee from the scene if it were in danger of a real threat. Hopefully, that bit of information helps you understand a llama. You may remember some famous llamas, like Tina from Napoleon Dynamite or Kuzco from The Emperor's New Groove." |

| Message | Llamas are useful if you are planning on taking a trip into the mountains and you need to take a lot of stuff with you... It's nice to be organized! I have my own 'organizational' system, don't touch anything because I know where everything is, believe it or not... Hopefully you find something to help you sleep better! |
