I said "yes." A neighbor of my parents' had purchased a couple of male alpacas three years ago, and their children had "grown out of them," so they were looking to give away or sell them (the alpacas, not the kids!) - they knew that I had a farm, so she asked my mom if I wanted the alpacas - free. They arrived yesterday, and they are just DARLING. I've named them Machu and Picchu - they are Peruvian, after all, and they are just SO gentle and fun. I can't wait to take them for their walk today. Alpacas are an animal that I'm not sure I would buy (even if I HAD that kind of money...), but I just am loving them. Okay, they've only been here for a day, but they are SO tame and gentle. My 4-year-old and I took them for a walk down to the irrigation canal yesterday, and he was able to lead one of them by himself. He says that Picchu (a small brown one) is "his," and Machu (a-bit-larger brown and white one) is "mine." I'll post a photo of them a bit later. FUN!!! And on a practical note - anybody know how to trim alpaca toenails? Yep, they have toenails...
