It is that time of the year again. What time is that? Llama shearing time. We have two llamas, and man were they looking shaggy! Neither my wife or I have had any experience with shearing the wool from a llama, but we knew it had to be done, as they were both sporting a long coat. It turns out that there is a woman who lives not too far from our house that has five llamas of her own, as well as the appropriate equipment needed to shear the llamas. We hired her. Now we have two very bald llamas, that look absolutely ridiculous. What do you do with a freshly shorn llama? You bring them to your suburban house and show them to the neighbors, right? At least, that’s what we decided to do. I’m pretty sure our neighbors think we’re nuts, but they did enjoy seeing the llamas, despite the fact they are so funny looking right now.

The photo above was taken in the front yard of our house. Doesn’t Catazo look like his head is on a stick? The photo below shows what he looked like before he got shaved. You might also enjoy this before picture of Catazo compared to what he looked like after being shaved.
