The story of Matilda started the Thursday before Mother's Day when she arrived to use from Louisville. Matilda is a 13 year old llama that has spent all her life watching over alpacas, she now will watch over Joey's sheep...except she is a little scared of them since she has never seen sheep. Upon her arrival, Matilda escaped the corral and took off down the road and into the woods. Brad took off after her and his cousin Kevin (who conveniently lives down the road) blocked her from going further. Matilda outsmarted them both and went into the woods! Eventually, Kevin was able to distract her enough for Brad to lasso her and then walked her back to her new home. It was quite the day!
Needless to say, Matilda got out again on Mother's Day to go for another walk when she noticed she could jump over the fence. I am happy to report that Matilda is feeling more comfortable with the sheep and hasn't attempted to go for any more walks. She is getting used to the sheep and the kids. It will just take time.
