[AlpacaTalk] RE: Brandie
<<<<It sounds to me like your black boy may have choked himself out,
that is why he dropped when he stopped. It is also a very good idea to
put a halter on when cleaning his feet, and tied to something very
sturdy!! :) It might help to keep one of the others close by, untill he
is done.>>>>
Oh trust me, we had a *very* serious talk about NEVER putting a rope
around *any* animals neck EVER. I learned how to make a make shift
halter from a lead rope from Marty McGee, but even that is not good
enough for feet cleaning - especially with this boy!
Plus about what to tie him up to - never something that he can drag away!
PLUS the fact that he should be done FIRST as he is so stubborn and
determined to have his way AND loves to be out. This is the boy that
learned how to open the gate no matter what we put on it, including
chains. Finally had to put in a t-post in front of the gate so it only
opens in lol, and a chain with a clip. Got really tired of getting home
after dark only to find this boy out grazing in the yard and then having
to chase him down, late and dark, and drag him against his will back to
his pasture. So he gets done first now if they are going to be
released. My poor dd was in tears she was so so scared.
Janice, just grateful he is ok
