My heart is very heavy as my sweet dog, Jesse Brown passed away yesterday. Jesse was my husband and mine soulmate that was of the animal specie. He will be greatly missed by us. This week has been difficult in another way as I found a kitten with one eye that is very ill and I have been trying to keep her alive. She is in the vet hospital for the second time. I have asked Jesse to help her and pull any strings that he might have now to help her heal. So everyone I will be off line for a few days until I can get my emotions in order. I do promise to be back.

Sometimes on the weekends or should I say most weekends my husband and I just want to stay home and be with all of our animals. This weekend we walked all the female alpacas. It really is pleasant walking with such beautiful animals. We also enjoy the Great Pyrenees and playing with them is always a blast. I am not sure who is more enjoyable though, the alpacas, dogs, or the barn cats. I love it when the cats follow us around the propertyas it is very interesting walking an alpaca with a cat following. Animals give off a very peaceful energy and when your with them - you can just be.

It is a beautiful chilly sunny morning and the male alpacas are full of spit and vinegar. They are showing off for the girls by running around the field chasing each other and a little wrestling thrown in for the full effect of impressing the females. As you can see the older females took interest but the young ones were doing their thing somewhere else in the field and totally not interested in what is going on. I tried to get a picture of the males but they were running so fast that all the pictures were blurry. It is nice to see so much activity in the fields as they all have been cooped up in the barn for a few days now.

I got this in an email. This is a bridge in Canada and is the actual turn-off from Banff, Alberta,Canada to the #1 highway to Calgary. They had to build the animals (especially the elk) their own crossing because that was where the natural crossing was and after the highway was built there were far too many accidents. It didn't take the animals long to learn that this was their very own bridge. I have to hand it to the Canadians for realizing their mistake and correcting it in such a great way. Pretty amazing - the Canadians and the animals. See we can work with animals living in our enviroment.

It is so muddy that the only place that we can walk the alpacas is on our driveway. I feel sorry for the alpacas because today with the winds they were in the barns all day long and when they can go outside it is hard for even them to walk with the extremely wet fields. So most of the time they hang around the hay bunks. I can see that they are bored and getting aggravated with one another. Today the male alpacas were fighting with one another in the barn and the females were using their necks and hitting one another. Tomorrow is suppose to be sunny so if they can walk I hope that they can get some exercise. January is month that I am never too sad to see it go.

Of course I can do this dance with my alpacas! LOL

I love when these two females hang together. I just love the look of the black against the white when they are standing next to each other as they often do. These two girls are Destiny and Libby Belle. Their personalities could not be more different like the contrast of their coloring. The white alpaca is Destiny and she is very outgoing and just loves life. Cheerful to a fault. I have to be careful at feeding time because she has a habit of jumping into the air with joy and usually right next to me. The little black female is Libby Belle and has one of the most cutest face that I have seen on an alpaca and she is a little shy. Libby has her sweet ways too. She likes to follow me around and watch everything that I am doing in the barn. She usually is the first to greet me in the morning and she stands a foot away from and looks at me with that face that just melts me. Libby does allow me to pet her when her friend Destiny is not around. I enjoy the alpacas so much and these two are just a delight.
