Alpacas and a Hairy Bovine.

Hi there!
I got out to Sharon’s yesterday for the first time since the whole Covid19 World Tail Spin!
Some people spend ISO eating chocolate bikkies (ahem), others eat their way through the fridge. Some indulge in new hobbies or go super mad exercising.
Sharon and her husband spent too much time on Gum Tree and managed to buy 7 alpacas and a highland bull!

So I got to go out and meet them all! They are so funny and adorable! They ‘Fooff’ their chaff at you – not really spit (much) and make the weirdest funny noises!

Baby!

I think Paul is going to give them a little bit of a tidy up trim since all the girls look like Rufus-The-Rough-Nut!

Dalton is the stud! He’s a fabulous animal – pretty quiet and easy to handle… mind you he had to go back on his lead as he got a bit… amorous… lol. Yup – twas all happening down on the farm yesterday!

Who has taken an alpaca for a walk huh?? 😀

We walked over to meet… oh my, I am pretty sure its Fergus.
Anyway, Sharon took Dalton away from the ladies… buuuuut… the ladies followed! (And the ram who now seems to be part of the alpaca flock and is a bit species-confused if you get my meaning… next on their list is some ewes for the poor ram)

And here is (hopefully) Fergus. Isn’t he adorable?? (Its pretty lame to say ‘adorabull’ isn’t it? Yeah, thought so)

Damn…. haha – just checked my messages. Its Hamish. Hamish not Fergus.
Hmmm

Anyway, Hamish-not Fergus – is a gorgeous big fellow and hopefully if all goes well there will be little fluffy calves in the future – jersey & highland!

Ok… There is a Tinkerbell and a Clarabell… What is going on with my brain!?
Anyway, above cow is loving having a bit of a scratch from Paul!

And last but not least – this gorgeous hound, Betty (Pretty sure I got this name right) was picked up as a stray and has now become part of the family! She is a gorgeous girl… still timid at times as they were fairly sure she has been mistreated 🙁
She’s all bum-wiggles and pounds your legs with her wagging tail! So glad she’s found a home where she will be loved excessively!

Cheers from me and Dalton!!
