Last night's nocturnal adventure begins the way most of my evenings end: the kids playing in their bedroom together, while me and my hubby sit down at our computers and play World of Warcraft together. My husband heard the dog barking and turned to look out the window, and suddenly he jumped up and ran to the window, staring out in complete amazement.
He waves me over and says, "You have to see this."
So I look out the window and see my llama laying down in the back yard. I, too, was amazed, because he shouldnt have been in the yard. But apparently that wasn't what he was really looking at. So he says, "No, that's not your llama. Look again."
I look a bit closer this time, and see that my llama is actually standing just on the other side of the fence, where he belongs. I had to do a double take to believe it, but the llama laying down in the yard was actually a second, and completely strange to me, FEMALE llama.
It's kind of funny how they looked to me in the dream though, in terms of male and female. My llama, the male, was kind of grungy and touseled looking, a bit dirty and ruffled... while the female was clean, bright, perfectly groomed, not a spec of dirt on her at all. My llama was standing around awkwardly staring at the female, while she was casually laying back, relaxed and seemingly self-assured and confident. How I saw all this in a pair of llamas I dont know.
Anyways, we noticed the male seemed to be looking for a way to get over the fence, and I knew he would jump it any moment now. My hubby threw the window open and ran out of the room and outside to start herding her out of the yard. But before we knew it, my llama had jumped the fence and cuddled up against the female, who seemed to accept him and cuddled against him in return. My hubby stood there thinking about how to now get them both out of the yard, and told me to keep an eye on them while he ran to the garage for a second to grab something. Right as he turned the corner, both llamas looked up at me, cocked their heads to the side, glanced at each other, then rushed me at the window.
They were putting their front legs up on the window sill and trying to shove their heads in the window; it was all I could do to prop myself up in the window and attempt to block them and shove their legs and heads back out the window. It felt like I was fighting with them for hours to keep them out of the house, I dont know why they were trying so hard to get in. When hubby came back, he was in the house again, and right then the llamas broke past me and leapt into the house. It was havoc. They knocked me and hubby out of the way and began rampaging through the house. It's a good thing the door to the boys' room was shut.
I woke up and immediately checked out the window to ensure there was not only one llama, but that it was no where near my yard.
