    Put it in a Ziploc bag with some of those little preservative bag things that come in like purses & shoes to keep them from getting damp while shipping & sitting on a store shelf. Leave it in there at least a week. I'd probably even leave it in there a month. That should dry it out. Good luck Houston. Poor thing. He was so excited.

    I have to commend you, Daniel, for the way you handled the situation when Houston got his boat stranded across the creek. I see alot of parents these days wanting to solve too many of their kids problems and not making them do it for themselves. You handled that perfectly, you made sure he had the life jacket on, stood by to watch and be there if he would have gotten into trouble, and gave him the support to fix the situation himself. Alot of parents need to watch this. We are raising a generation of spoiled brats who are not prepared for rhe real world when they make 18 and its a shame.

The love for one another and their devotion of faith have now got me binge watching their videos. You are correct in your comments about dad's handling of the boat rescue. Perfect handling of allowing Houston to get himself out of a potentially bad dilemma. Too many entitled brats out there who feel they're owed something in life and don't have to work to achieve what they want. Great job Mr. Arms!3💜

    Hi all we had 7 alpacas with Sid being our male. He was the only one that we could lead around and we had him since he was a baby. He was always with his ladies and goats and a bull we had and he became extremely protective over them all and we came to realise our mistake was we never separated him out every now and again and he became dangerous. Then when my son who was 16 sid attacked him full on my son managed to fight him off but we had to get rid of him because he became to dangerous. So in our experience take him out and separate him regularly and that aggression against you will ease up. Love ya channel! God bless

    I am a retired Dog and horse trainer. Any time you train to lead try not doing face to face pulling on the lead. Just turn and walk away slowly. If you face and pull it appears to be an attack so you get fight instead of follow. I always put a small amount of pressure on the lead with my back turned so they do not take it as an attack. As soon as the pressure is released take another step.as soon as Steve gets the Idea what you want with out thinking you are attacking him he will learn to lead and reward is always helpful in the beginning. Just take it slow, once Steve learns tie your Jenny to him let him teach her to lead. The key with any animal is the younger they learn the better. Never pull on them just a slow walk without eye contact even an old dog can learn to walk on a leash.

Things will happen-- we all did things when we were young that were not the best behavior. As long as they are addressed and learned from, life goes on. And remember, it wasn't long ago that Weston was the age Houston is now, and now he is the elusive teen we seldom see. They grow up quickly!
