A Camel?!

Meet Laila...The Camel.
My husband's aunt sold the majority of her cattle herd and decided she was going to purchase a camel. Not something you see everyday in Manhattan, Kansas, not sure what possessed her to buy a camel but here she is! She is pretty cute, sounds kinda funny when she is bawling but still cute. :) Oh and his aunt has also purchased an ALBINO camel! It was born a few weeks ago so she has to wait awhile to actually pick it up.. Oh and she also has a baby Zebra named 'Spot.' It is all kind of strange.. not sure what she is planning on doing with these exotic animals staying out behind the house in the middle of Kansas but hey, I'm sure I will get some pretty cute pictures of the poor things! :)

  2. Awww...little camel! Well, perhaps she can make some extra cash giving camel rides at children's birthdays? Or start a home zoo? I remember when I was a kid my grandparents would take me to the 'fancy fowl farm' which was really some old guy's farm with a bunch of exotic birds ;)
    At any rate, I hope this habit of stocking up on camels doesnt mean we're in for another scorching summer!

    1. Haha I really think she should start a petting zoo, it'd be perfect for her :)
