Was videoed for TV today

Wife's friend got a line on a couple rescued male llamas. We agreed to take one of them and she had a couple in her flock that also needed to be neutered. Checked around, and the vet we chose was Dr. Pol from Weidman. If you're familiar with the National Geographic channel, they have a program featuring the exploits of the good doctor in his practice. Well we got there, and were met by a whole camera crew. They interviewed us as we waited on the lawn for the Dr. Then they videoed the whole procedure(s). (Ain"t pretty - especially if you're the victim.) And an exit interview as well. So if you're watching the Dr. Pol series, be on the look out for us. Our friends Deb and Deiter have the two white miniature llamas, Linda and I had the rusty colored full sized llama. We needed to get them neutered because they will be kept with our Shetland sheep as guard animals, and intact males will try to mate with the sheep injuring them or worse. Also tends to cool down their aggressiveness.
So if you're a watcher of National Geographic channel, watch for us. (We don.t get that here - no cable, no satellite.)
 
I don't watch TV at all Ray, but congrats anyway.
Sounds like you have a good vet there.
 
When I see llamas mentioned, it reminds me of an incident that happened a few years ago. I was staying with my Dad one weekend,and had to run to the nearest town to pick up a few things, driving along the road way out in the country, looked up and here came about half dozen llamas running up a driveway. I could see a couple of men way behind them,and when it became obvious that they were going to enter the road, I stopped and turned on my four way flashers. I rolled down the window and was sitting there watching them when two of the rascals came up and stuck their heads in the window!I started laughing and they followed the others about fifty yards down the road to another drive and went down it. by that time there were about two vehicles behind me and another had stopped from the other direction. The way people drive today, I was afraid that if I didn't stop, some other fool might run over them and then sue the owners for damages. The man came to the car and thanked me and everyone proceeded on their way. I know how perplexing it is to have livestock get out of their enclosure, but that incident was also quite comical.
 
We'll be watchin for you. One of my favorite shows. I'm always looking for people I know on there. I've seen Scott Sykora,John McConnel and Chuck Anderson on it.
 
No, our 5th, but we've lost two, so will be #3 for present. Had them around here since 1988.
Been there - done that. Think of myself as a experienced llama guy.
 
It'll likely be next summer before it airs won't it? If you and the wife want to come down and watch it when it comes on,you're invited.
 
I also get to watch this show and it has been very funny to see neighbors and family on tv. We have nearly every one dvred. We also will watch for you and your llamas.
