There are a couple of us here now with alpacas, I'm sure you'll get a chance to learn more than you ever really wanted to know. :)
Thanks for the giggle! Great story from the animals. :) I'm really interested in learning about alpacas. Hope you'll share more about them and how to get started. From a fellow blogger, A Wanna Be Pioneer
Christine, great dialog to fit the pictures. It's really fun to make up stories about the animal interaction in the barnyard, isn't it. I too like to animate things. Cars, snowblower, truck, chainsaw, all have names and stories. Keep those barnyard stories coming. Have a great Alpaca/Llama day.
