Accidents Happen


The Llama babies had been enjoying the sunshine while running as fast as those lovely long legs would allow but like with all good things - too much a of it can lead to issues...

It is just like me to be working away and this "Mother Sense" tells me to look up. Just as I did I saw sweet Dottie running faster then her legs would handle - it is a rookie mistake. I yelled out "SLOW DOWN" and just then she went end over end. I dropped my tools and went running in her direction. Now I can never match their speed but that "Mother Panic" kicks in and our abilities are like a Super Hero without the mask on...


As I was making my way through the gates she came running towards me in a panic. Happy, her four legged mother was watching closely but did not call to her. As we came closer to each other I could hear her little cries that was asking for comfort. I checked out every inch of her and hugged and kissed her while making the soft sounds that Happy would make. Once she was calm I went into the house for my magical cream and camera.

I returned to find Dottie sitting on the highest hill in the pasture and gathering herself. The moment she saw I was coming in the gate so headed towards me - hard to take a picture of something coming quickly towards you. As you can see by the last picture she scraped up her nose. Once I placed some of the cream on the cuts she was calm and thankful. It is the same cream I gave to my two legged grandson Reese to heal his raw nose. It is the same cream that I use for the hundreds of cuts, scraps, jabs and such that I manage to place on this body. It is a miracle cream... I think also the tons of kisses will aid in the healing of this sweet girls nose.



Do you have a special "HEAL ALL" in your bag of tricks???

Aww poor baby. But I find it funny your the only Momma that was nervous. I guess Momma Happy was just going to let her figure it out for herself.

Ladies I know I am a bit of a worry wart - I was not that way with my boys (Human that is). I guess I just have patched up,fixed broke limbs and such over the years I just can't help it. Dottie was back to running full speed by sunset and I was out there with them ruff housing.

Bag balm. I use it on everything, lol. Oh, and something called Nu-stock, which I think might be like your animal magic cream ;)
