A sodden Dante spent some time in the salon today before our carehome visit, he takes enormous pride in his appearance!
Something people always ask is do the Alpacas get along with dogs?
The answer is yes they do, but they need to be dogs they know and are used to. Any others are treated as threat and avoided.
This morning I caught this interaction between our terrier pup Todd and some of the female herd and cria π₯°π¦πΎ Worth noting Drew the collie keeping a watchful eye in the bottom left πΎ
Sleepy boy!

Leo in his silent world enjoying a snooze in the sunshine. The boys casually left him on his lonesome to oink leftover carrots! Poor Leo, totally oblivious! We did save him some, donβt worry!
Ah Danteβ¦.. The sweet, gentle, calm, quiet superstar was very put out that he wasnβt chosen for the meet and greet walk today and was going to miss out on carrots. Heβs shown his true piggy colours by tacking himself onto the back of the walk and marching in with the walkers to get after walk carrots! Youβre too funny Dante! π€£π€£
Well done Maisie for leading our walk with Toby! You did a great job! π
Our lovely Issy making sure everyone had their turn with the hose today! The ladies arenβt very good at waiting in turn in an orderly fashion π
Beautiful day for a trail walk! π
Toby has absolutely no problem being a mud monster!! π€£π€£

A new sound for the boys today! Very soothing to listen to!
Thinking alpacas and steel drums make a great combination!! ππ
Thank you Lilbourne Court for having us today and thank you Byron from Calame Art for your beautiful music!

Wow! Talk about chucking Storm in at the deep end! We werenβt aware there would be live music at The Chimeys Care Home so Caya & Storm were chosen to attend the BBQ fun day! We may be biased but no lie, he was FABULOUS!!! Stuck to Caya like glue but still oinked carrots, still had fuss from children, adults, seniors and staff and took it all in! Jane & I really enjoyed the music from the lovely ladies Lesley Ann Vocalist Entertainer! What a beautiful day for it too! πππ¦π¦

As AMAZING as Dante isβ¦β¦.
He seems to think going to care home visits means he can watch tv while weβre there! Heβd said hello to Joyce and then turned his attention to Wimbledon!!! Opinion was it was because it was the ladies match! π€£
Nice to see everyone at Clifton Court again! ππ¦

8 month old Malaika (white one!) is learning the βShark the Carrotsβ game and students/staff from Life Sciences at Warwick Uni gave her lots of confidence during our recent visit!! She nailed it!! Good girl Malaika! (It helps that sheβs SUPER nosy!)π€£π€£

Merry Christmas to one and all!!
Itβs been an exciting year for us with new adventures and some truly lovely people.. young, old and in between!! π
The smiles, hugs, cuddles, love and sheer happiness the alpacas have brought this past year, weβre grateful for so many of you and so happy to have been part of alpaca journeys for everyone!
Weβre looking forward to what 2023 will bring!

Warwick WI invited us to their meeting tonight with nearly 40 ladies there to make a fuss of and feed carrots to Pearl, Caya & Gisila. The ladies were so welcoming and relaxed as a group that the girls just totally chilled out in the middle of the hall! They were so content, they didnβt want to get up when it was time to go! π€£
Thank you for having us Warwick WI, we enjoyed our visit with you lovely ladies! π
