Animal Bio
I had the incredible privilege of being Carlos’s person for more than 20 years before he passed away peacefully on Christmas of 2016. He was a gentle soul whose best friends were a miniature donkey named Nugget and a llama named Llamadeus. While Carlos is sorely missed, we smile and laugh when thinking back on all of the wonderful years we had with this amazing llama. He was my 4-H llama for two years, then became the herd sire before he retired from the celebrity life and settled into eating buckets of grain and rolling in the green grass. We purchased Carlos when he was two months old and had to wait another four months before we got to take him home to the farm. It was love at first sight! Those banana ears, those long eyelashes, and all that fluff! He was the absolute best we could have asked for in every way. We miss you every day, even your off-key humming along to the radio or ‘talking’ to yourself out in the field. Even though he’s not here with us, Carlos will live forever in our hearts.
