#MarshallSundayStory: Last week I told you the story of how my cat Turner came to live with me. This week, (after many requests) we will learn more about #BettyTheAlpaca who lived with us for a decade before she crossed the rainbow bridge.
It was the summer of 2013 and I was at a ranch with my friend @KatieConnolley looking at some horses that were for sale. There was a lone alpaca there, so asked what her story was. The owner said he didn’t know how old she was, or much about her, as she had been left behind from a previous herd. He then said, “If you want her she’s yours.”
I had no experience with llamas or alpacas but something about her just made me want to bring her home. She was not tame, and we had to wrangle her into a small pen, then rope and tackle her. I put an old t-shirt over her face to keep her calm, then we lifted her into the backseat of my truck – we hadn’t brought a trailer, so I sat holding her while my friend Katie drove us home (see last photo that was taken when we arrived home).
I decided to turn her out with my cows so she wasn’t alone, and instantly she loped over to the young calves and started grooming them. She became Nanny Betty from then on. She took her job so seriously she would never let the calves out of her sight. My moma cows began trusting Betty, and would leave their calves with her for hours while they went out further to graze.
Over the years Betty really warmed up to me. She even learned how to be haltered and walk nicely while being led. I miss Betty, as do my cows, and I’m not sure I will ever find another alpaca like her. ❤️
🦙 Story too long for this post, I have continued in the comments.

This week I decided to go with my main man of the chicken coop for my #MarshallSundayStory please put your hands together for, Phoenix the rooster.
Phoenix is not just any ordinary rooster. Not only has he travelled across the country to star in a commercial, but he also has spent far more time living inside our home than your average farmyard bird. Phoenix was one of many chicks that I purchased in the spring of 2019. Being smaller in size, he was instantly targeted by the flock and picked on. One day, I went out to find him badly beaten by the other members of the coop. I scooped him up and decided that he needed to come spend some time in the house recovering. He became so comfortable in the house and friendly with us, he stayed far past his welcome. Over the next couple years Shawn and I moved and started building at our new property. We didn’t have a barn or a chicken coop so again, Phoenix (who at the time was the only bird we had) made himself at home, living in our little cabin. He would wander around the yard during the day, and in the nice summer months would sleep on our front porch.
When winter came I set up an area for him in the cabin… but for those who have been around roosters, know that their early morning crowing can be deafening. We soon put a stop to this as our cabin is only one room and it echoed quite loudly each morning.
By this time our barn was nearly finished anyway so I moved him to his own spot out there and purchased 4 Americana (a breed of laying hen) chicks to keep him company.
Phoenix has been around for five years now and is definitely the king of his castle now. His 4 ladies are still doing well and we have since built them a coop of their own. This rooster has been more than just a bird to us and I thank him for being such a special member of our family.

Just some Saturday snuggles…. ❤️
Thanks Shay for taking these and for giving lots of snuggles to my big furry pup. I do believe cows give some of the best large animal cuddles of all. Especially #AmbersCowLily 🐮
