Just Typical !!.....

Little Zelqui.....sitting in the field...before shearing !!

Everyone....in ....today !!

Stravinsky.....and the youngsters....on the other side of the girlies....

The girlies......its like winter...up here....tonight...

The Nick Nacks....are starting....to settle in...

As most readers are aware....some of the alpacas have been sheared......and guess what .....

Yep you guessed it.....since then...it has been raining....and raining...infact its more like October than June !

So ......after the alpacas were sheared....they were turned back out into the fields....however this was short lived or at least till the evening....

I have one little alpaca who goes by the name of Zelqui..he spends most of his time keeping a sharp eye on the girlies in the opposite field...however they weren't there....all the girls and the youngsters including the Nick Nacks...were tucked up in bed in the barn !

The other boys were happily sheltering in the field-shelter....but not Zelqui !!

As the time went on.....I went to feed the boys and noticed some were shivering.....so what about poor Zelqui...well he came down for food....and then went back to his post...out in the field....looking for his girlies......

At about 11pm...the weather was getting worse...and I decided to go and put a coat on Zelqui......I had thought about giving him a tent !!.....I took the towel to dry him and I managed to...try on two coats.....one being too small and the other being far too big !

So I decided to lead him back to the old stone steading....where I decided to tie him up and go and get the other boys...in for the night.....

When I went back out to the gate....all the boys were there waiting to come in....so they all ran in....and that's where they have been....all day !....

No-one has been out today....including Norris....who has also spent the day.....in his old house where he grew up !!...he knows where to go...and he also ran in last night !! for bed-time...

The girls are on 337 days and some are looking rather....expectant....its still a waiting game...mind you ...I have spent some of the evening...watching Aymaras baby bouncing around inside......Ive also seen.....Tremonas baby moving tonight....and I'm sure that Zakhura won't be too long now......so its a case of keeping a close eye on these girlies.......

I have moved Zienna and Zullulah in with the Nick-Nacks....as Zullulah was having a sneaky feed from Marquette......which is not good.....especially if she has her baby soon....we can't be having that.....after all....Zullulah is nearly 2 in October....she has to grow up at some point....

Zullulah was not happy and spent about an hour....trying to jump over back with the girls.....so last night I spent quite a bit of time...making sure she didn't get over and didn't hurt herself.....eventually she lay down in the huff......

and settled.......herself.....but was not happy.

......and finally..it is Duke's 2nd Birthday today....so he got a Birthday Kiss...sent from Debbie at Barnacre Alpacas.... he's a big boy now....!!
