Poodle-Lamas



Ever come across a “poodle-lama?”

We did. A few days ago the boys and I went out for a drive in the country when we discovered a whole herd of these bizarre looking creatures. I’m not sure exactly what they are, but they look like miniature lamas (about the size of a dog) and are shaved like poodles. They are also very friendly as one of them let Ethan feed it a leaf.

Somehow these animals have become the latest attraction around our house and every time we get into the car my kids insist on driving by them. Though, I have to admit that it has become an excellent source of bribery.

“If you don’t stop yelling in the car then we won’t drive by the poodle-lamas!”

Silence.

Now Bryant has stopped bugging me about getting him a pet cat and has turned to the idea of a poodle-lama for a pet. I just answer him, “someday,” which has become my go to answer for everything lately.

Although, I do think these things are kind of cute and have tossed around the idea of getting one for a pet (ssshhhh…don’t tell Rob). Anyone know what these things are and if they make good pets? (For future references of course)

Thanks for a good morning laugh. I need to find something like that to bribe my kids - where exactly are those poodle-llamas located???

They are alpacas and are herd animals so you wouldn't be able to get just one. They eat grass and hay and whatever they can forage for. I kind of like the poodle-lama name though.....
