Saturday our newest three joined the ‘herd’ at Glory Farm.
The little boys are 7 to 10 months old, adorable and completely quirky as only alpacas can be.
Smooth is the youngest and seems to have the potential for being a calm and quiet boy, but as his “jewels” have yet to drop…who knows, males with “jewels” can be a bit… unpredictable.
Carlos is the oldest at 10 months and wants to know what is going on beyond that fence, but from the safety of his side of the fence.
It is clear already, Santana is the character. Inquisitive, quick and first out the gate.
The ‘big’ boys, Benny and the Jett are determined to check out the little ones at every opportunity. Currently they are usually separated by a fence, so everyone can have some time getting to know each other.
We had a trial run of the whole herd together. Benny worked hard at letting the little ones know, that he is no longer at the bottom of the pecking order. ‘Togetherness’ only lasts in small increments.
Naming 3 was a challenge. My Girl and I both thought about Elton and John…but it wasn’t right. I decided to stick with the music theme and My Loving Spouse decided to humor me. In the end, I went with a great rhythm…seriously, you can’t beat a good rhythm. (Carlos Santana Smooth)
and we are blessed.
Sweet memories of my friends! Make some clucking noises so Jet thinks I am near. 🤣 it was special getting to go with you to pick up the little boys. Great memories.
They are SO CUTE!!!!! I might have some grandchildren around that would get a kick out of your “new family.”
We’d love to see them and you!
OMG! They are the cutest little critters! And I’m glad you went with the music theme. Their names are PERFECT! They have landed on the best ranch in Washington!
Thanks so much! I appreciate your support dear friend.
The new additions are adorable! A new reason to visit… again. You are very blessed indeed. Thanks for the eggs, they were yummy!
Glad for the visit…quick though it was. Currently hording Scotchmallows…yum.
Rock ‘n roll, girl!! I adore those curious creatures. You are blessing them with your love and care!!!
Ahhh, thank you so much sweet Diane. I can hear and see you rocking to the tune.
Blessings,
Ellen
Twas just discussing llamas last week with a county lady friend, and we asked ourselves “what’s going on inside a llama’s head?” We got cows and horses and donkeys figured out, but not llamas . . . . any advice?
I think Llamas could be different, but for alpacas they want to know what is going on, just don’t touch me. Hahaha
Oh my gosh these are the cutest creatures of all. Is a group of Alpacas called a pack?
xoxo
Hahaha, well they should be!
hugs my friend!
Absolutely gorgeous! You are very blessed – they’ll grow up to be great companions and ‘wool’ givers!
Thank you, Richard!
Hi Waltons,
Your place is really starting to look like “The Ranch”.
Rob
Thanks Handy Cousin,
We’ll be out of school soon. Perhaps a visit to the ‘ranch’ will be in order.
