There must be something in the air.....well actually its alpaca spit !....aimed with great precision by my resident spit fountain Minstrel. If you hadn't guessed already we had to have a little hands on experience with Zanubis for his Bluetongue injection, I was in for it as usual.
It started even before I had even laid a finger on him, I put the feed out as usual and before I could even close the gate I was in the line of fire, great start, so by this time I had nothing to lose and accepted that it was just going to be one of those days. I had even made a pen to put madam in whilst I did the injections....however I was well and truly drenched.......Minstrel was placed in the pen after several blasts of alpaca fury.
We also did Zakhura with her first injection, I was busy doing my injection when Pacosha my multi coloured brown/white female came right up to me, cheeky madam did nothing more than spit at me right on the head at close range I'll have you know......so I was well and truly spat on, from a distance and at close range.......!! Thanks very much......So I to can still smell it and there's definitely a pungent smell of spit in the air........there are times when you do question yourself...............why !
I can't wait for the weaning to commence........its scheduled for next week all being well, I shall look forward to a little spit free, hands on time with the babies......Yipee !!

I know.....I do sometimes wonder why !....I think every one has a resident spitter !....well it makes me feel better to think that any way, especially after yesterday, maybe the Highland cows arn't so bad after all !!.....Jayne
