[AlpacaTalk] Silly alpacas

 

<<< Our grass is coming in full and green and lush and the alpacas
are doing the happy dance with all four feet off the ground. Our youngest,
Lucille, is full of piss and vinegar on a daily basis and is going to get
herself in trouble if she doesn't quit running up behind the old gals and
pronking off of them! Anyone else have silly alpacas!>>>

Oh yes, yesterday was such a fun and beautiful day. Happy dance indeed
- for us all. I let the alpacas and the horses out to graze the lush
grass/weeds, while I was getting my work done in the garden and all
around. I haven't been letting them for a while due to garden/fence
issues, but I finally got the hot wire across the new orchard/bee yard
and so that got to come out.....finally! Oh the joy, oh the running and
pronking and general silliness. 2 of the girls - mom and yearling,
were running so crazy they overshot and ended up in the horse pasture
where they were just running like crazy - a new space and lots of open
space to run, unlike their own space with a lot of trees. The poor
male was just going nuts running the fence line. He wanted IN with them
tho he couldn't wait to get OUT of his own pasture fast enough; I've
never seen that boy run so fast hehe. I am watching closely since the
yearling is his daughter, and her mom I have to assume is preg since
they spent an unexpected night together 2 mos back - those crazy
teenagers. As long as they are all out grazing the yard he seems to
have no interest in them, but once he saw them racing around inside the
horse area he just couldn't stand it. Ran the fence line crying like
crazy. I figured all the activity must be getting his hormones going
and so best they do that vigorous playing inside a fenced area where he
can't get at them so I closed the gate. It was such a joyful sight to
behold - to see all my critters really kicking up their heels and having
a good time after such a long bitter cold hard winter. Once they had
run off their excitement I let them back out to graze the beautiful
buffet and he calmed down and went back to grazing himself. No mating
attempts. Ahhh, the clover, the grass, the honeysuckle, the sheer
pleasure of the warm sunshine in the cool air. Just a perfect day all
around.

Warmly, Janice in NW GA
