Dear Friend,
Thinking of you this Thanksgiving week as I pause and reflect on my Blessings... because I feel so grateful. My husband and I have been enjoying the “Alpaca Lifestyle” now for over 10 years. We left the city life in search of something different for our retirement and never dreamed we would stumble upon such a rewarding way of life.
Our nine cria from the age of 1 to 2 months old, are a constant source of amusement, joy and promise. They all exhibit some form of independence from mom, playfulness with each other and abundant curiosity about the “2-legged” care takers (us!) Just at sun-down the spontaneous “cria races” start up. This can last for several minutes as each one takes turns leading the pack in circles around the pens. Here’s a photo of the first 4 … pausing before they ran off!
