It’s amazing how much time I spend with our pasture animals. This is Dahlia, each alpacas has there very own unique personality. This girl is sassy and sweet, she absolutely does not want you to touch her but she really doesn’t want to miss her chance to get apple slices.
She is super vocal, very strong, and has grown on me quite a bit
Our girl went down Wednesday last week, she is comfortable and doesn’t appear to be in pain, she is a food hog. We believe she has cancer and has lost significant weight even though she eats everything. She is one tough cookie, after the cold snap this weekend she is still with us! Cozy in the barn under blankets and surrounded by hay. She is one heck of a fighter. Please keep her in your thoughts, all we can do is keep her comfortable at this point and we just hope she stays comfortable until it’s her time.
We also want to give a big shout out to our alpaca mentors at Snowshoe farm alpacas in Peacham. They have so much knowledge and are just so willing to help us even if we don’t ask. They dropped off some supplies for dahlia to include alpaca blankets to keep her warm this weekend, and we so appreciate their kindness and guidance.
