#alpacas

5 posts4 participants0 posts today

This morning, as I was heading off to the doctors, 2 women walking #Malamutes saw me hopping into the car & asked if their dogs could get a closer look at the #alpacas & #lambs.

They were on our driveway & the dogs kept looking at our animals & we’re doing lots of head tilting, looking confused.

I said “sure” & we drove off.

The alpacas & lambs had been still eating lucerne & in the rear vision mirror we saw Ozzie move to the gate to put himself between the visitors & his “herd”.
👍🤗

You might be wondering how we keep the bottom of the willow tree's branches all at the same height above the ground.

Wonder no more.

Another truckload of #lucerne arrived this morning. 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸

#Lambs & #alpacas are loving it.

This morning I fed them some #lucerne & #poppedlupins.

Just now I gave the #MudBrothers some more carrots (the huge, long ones #Woolies sell as #TheOddBunch. I slice lengthwise & each big carrot becomes 4.) & another bale of lucerne.

Chaser pictured, eating something like his 12th carrot of the day. So far. (He’s ignoring the newest bale of lucerne & hoping for more #carrots.)

It’s been a fairly painful day. Both shoulders have been hurting since the weekend & it’s only gotten worse. (*Hauling bales of lucerne around doesn’t help).

I think it’s time for #cortisone #injections. (It’s been years since my last - a decade maybe?)

Next week’s pension, I’ll see if my neighbours will let me pay their teenage son to do the lucerne feeds.

*The better half says he’s terrified of the #alpacas since Ozzie reared up & head butted me into the fence. I’ll explain Carrot fever!😆
