Hi all,

I can't believe it will be February 1 tomorrow!  By the end of this week, we'll be into our 5th month as an active alpaca farm.  It's been challenging, but also fun.  I've loved seeing the different personalities develop among our 'kids'.   The two preggies hadn't finished their food this morning so I decided to give it to them tonight while the dogs ate.  Most of the girls and Banjo were hovering in the barn hoping for a snack.  Opal, Kisses, and Banjo were very surprised when they found themselves closed in the barn, especially when they saw that they were missing out on chow!  Bubbles and Ruby appreciated not having to share their food though!

We've added two more kids to the family.  We brought Ginger and Wyatt home a week ago.  They are  in quarantine for now.  Our young llama, Patches, is now bunking with the big boys (he's almost their size already!) and they're getting along great.   Banjo is in with the girls for just 2 weeks. That has worked out fine.   We will be moving Ginger in with the girls and Banjo will join Wyatt next door.

Ginger (Ginger Snap) is a medium fawn, about 3 years old, a  real sweetheart. One of the  photos below is of Ginger with Kayley (our neighbor's granddaughter).  The other is of Wyatt (Wyatt Earp) and Ginger.  Wyatt is an 18 month silver grey boy.   He's a little shy right now but he's warming up to us.
