Anybody can give you nasty comments but personally I think you guys are good people. Nobody can honestly say that they’ve never jumped into something only to soon discover that they’d jumped in over their heads. I sure did when I first decided to go out and adopt a couple of border collie puppies straight from working lines (I had only a bold flock of hens and a couple goats that would sooner hit a dog than obey it), I had no idea what I was getting into. But it takes a big person to admit their mistake, learn from it, and take the necessary measures to move back in the right direction. Although it was hard (and I completely understand the feeling. After my puppy killed some of my chickens I had to turn him over to the rescue. That was one of the hardest animal losses I’ve had to endure) to part with a beloved family member, you recognized that it was in his best interests that he be somewhere that he’ll have some more stimulation. I’ll bet all the people giving you nasty comments about owning a camel could never say that they’ve done something so bold and selfless. I respect your decision and would defend your choices all the way. They’re just jealous that they didn’t get to own a camel.

Dave, Now I know what the A stands for. Some people are legends in their own minds. Thanks for the support.

Ignore the nasty comments. Some people are just twisted and horrible. I think that ‘A’ should just crawl back under the rock and keep quiet. You did the best thing for Boris, that’s what matters. I also recommend horse trainers. I have two camels and they are well behaved all the time. They’re no harder to look after than horses.
Enjoy the goats and email me if you ever need any info on camels.

Cheers,
Dave (Australia).

I hope Boris is happy at his new home. You obviously weren’t ready for the needs of such an amazing animal. Exotic animals shouldn’t be purchased just to attract attention to yourselves. Having a camel isn’t some “fun cooky” social experiment. I hope you learned your lesson.

I’m sorry that the camel forum was not a more positive experience for Christine. I personally found her posts to be very interesting. I’m glad you worked things out with Boris. If you get another camel I recommend horse trainers instead of camel experts!

Your goats are just incredibly adorable.

Cheers

Darn, I had hoped to meet him one day! Very selfless of you two to think of his needs and well being. Thanks for sharing him with us virtually!

You surely made the right decision, but think of all the fun you had as a camel owner. I know you enjoyed it and can have the memories forever. And the fact that you can visit him is great.
What’s next?

My heart is saddened by not seeing Boris poke his big head over his hay trough and grumble at me when he’s not fed before everyone else but as my husband wrote, this was the best thing we could do for Boris. I’ll miss his goofy face and wet slobbery kisses.
