Who or What is She?

  • She calls herself Lauren but is also known as Mom, Gramma, Lar, and, once upon a time, Peach.
    An ex-suburbanite who moved to the wilds of the Sonoran Desert and decided to raise fiber animals, fowl creatures, 3 halflings, and one pint-sized farmer without a clue as to how. Join Lauren as she learns how to file alpaca teeth, shear a horny goat, raise 3 teenagers and 1 grandchild while cooking dinner and doing the laundry with her other six arms.

More excellent timing! (We'll all keep you distracted yet. :-) So when do you get this exotic stuff?

David the Husband's comment made me snort all over my monitor. AGAIN. When will I learn not to sip my tea when reading your blog?

I have actually spun wolf before! You'll love it and it makes great hats for little boys as they love the "wolfiness" about it - they just seem to go together. Let me know if your friend is selling it...I haven't seen any in years.

Go for it, Lauren! :)

Yahoo!! I couldn't believe when I saw that offer on the rescue list last night! Having had one of my babies move half way across the country, I have been there and done that and it ain't easy. Keeping busy wass the only way to go for me. So glad you are taking this. John, Alpha Wolf Guy, is one of the nicest people around. He hauls rescues all over the Western US for rescue groups for just the cost of gas. His SUV says Wolf Hauler on the back windows. My husband has often wondered about having giant schnauzer hair spun as they have hair as opposed to fur. Sure glad you got a laugh out of it!

Julie --- I'm glad you pulled her out of her funk! And I have seen products knit from wolf wool and they are wonderful. We'll all be anxious to see how it works up, Lauren.

And don't feel badly about the puddles. I've been there and done that and separation is not easy. It's still hard for me and my son is 35. In some ways I miss the "olden days" when folks didn't travel so far beyond their community circle and folks were able to see the generations grow before their eyes -- instead of having to travel so far to see them for a few hours. I will say the advent of the Internet and cell phones has made life a lot easier in that respect. Hang in there. Cry as you will --- this too shall pass. Giant hugs to you.

Really looking forward to seeing the result of this! Wow, your blog teaches me new things all the time.

What is the story with the wolf wool? Are they rescue wolves? How do they get it? Great blog!
