A bit cloudy here

Still trying to process the llama = gun thing. And the spitting.

Ooh, Cricket, if it's story ideas the kid wants, you could point him toward Lang's varicolored compendia. Lots of stories.

  1. From the Wikipedia:

    Testing for pregnancy:

    "Spit testing": Bring the potentially pregnant dam (female llama) to an intact male. If the stud attempts to breed her and she lies down for him within a fairly short period of time, she is not pregnant. If she remains on her feet, spits, attacks him, or otherwise prevents his being able to mate, it is assumed that she is probably pregnant. This test gets its name due to the dam spitting at the male if she is pregnant.
