Ever See A Llama Drinking Fountain?

August 6, 2010

Our lady llama has a new trick.  She’s discovered she loves drinking from the water hose.

"Ahhhh, cool, cool water!"

She just started doing it a few days ago.  She was too impatient to wait for me to refill the little wading pool we use in the back yard as a watering trough and ended up slurping water coming directly from the hose.

"That tastes good!"

Obviously, she discovered she likes that really cold water coming straight out of the well.

"I'll just have some more of that nice cold water!"

Or maybe she likes it because she can’t smell any other animal in the water.  She’s persnickety that way.  If any other critter eats from her food bowl, she won’t eat from it until you wipe it out.

"Nothing beats a cold drink of water on a hot southern summer day!"

When she gets enough water on the inside, then she wants me to spray some water on the outside!

"Cool showers for a cool llama!"

Did you notice Toby (to the right)?  He’s waiting for his turn so he can chase the water spray.  The weather isn’t a factor for him.  He wants to chase water if it’s hot, and he wants to chase water if it’s freezing cold!

Who needs a tv for entertainment when you’ve got looney llamas and daffy dogs?
