(attacker) I imagine her doing all those circus like tricks: lifting herself up on one hand while the alpaca runs along... How cool would THAT be? Plus tons of fur (or whatever) for your knitting?<BR/><BR/>(I must admit, my first thought was of Napoleon Dynamite.

My brother must have been bothering it, because it proceeded to spit its cud right in his face. So very, very gross, and as his sister, I thoroughly enjoyed it.Toozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11495892080894540783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761838434578253936.post-3958118096504054432008-06-04T11:37:00.000-07:002008-06-04T11:37:00.000-07:00I have this nutty dream about having a small alpac...I have this nutty dream about having a small alpaca farm when I retire. I just think they are the cutest things! Of course I a)need to have enough money to buy the farm and the animals and b)need to find someone who knows how to shear them, LOL! But they are awfully adorable!Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.com
