Lovelorn Llama

It’s soap opera time on the farm with a tale of unrequited love, raging hormones and cold-hearted indifference.

Flash back to last Thursday night, when a new llama arrived on the farm. We’ve been thinking about getting some company for our single llama lady for a long time, and happened to see an ad for this guy. Isn’t he handsome?
However, I guess we should have placed an ad with eHarmony.com, because we seem to have a compatibility problem here. After a brief bout of curiousity, and touching of noses, Keira has since refused to acknowledge there is another llama on the farm.
Yes, it would seem the lady rejects her would-be sweetheart. In fact, she refuses to admit his existence most of the time. It’s the cold shoulder treatment for poor Samson, with Keira turning her back to him and ignoring his presence in the pasture next door.

See Samson in the background?
And there’s Keira, as usual, giving him the cold shoulder treatment.

Every morning when I let the critters out, Samson rushes to the fence to see where Keira went. He hums and groans, sounding very much like he’s trying to start his engine, desperately trying to get her attention.

It doesn’t work. She continues to thoroughly ignore him.

Will Samson ever get the attention of his would-be lover? Will Keira ever accept him as a suitor? Stay tuned for the continuing soap opera of “The Lovelorn Llamas!”
