Where Have I Been??

It's so lonely out here in blog land. I have been moving and had no time to post... I have no pride left in me after having five children. That's why I added this picture. This is my dog Vinny. I rescued him from the streets of New York. I went out to buy crickets at Petsmart and came home with this "Diamond in the Ruff" vagrant... Now he lives on our farm and he loves it.

Leoour cat took all the chaos in stride. He weighs twice as much as Vinny and as long as he has food in his tremendously large belly he is happy. I may have to sign him up with sparkpeople.com so he can lose the weight. It works for me and if you are interested in joining me please let me know. I will earn sparkpoints which amount to nothing but it does earn me bragging rights. Seventeen pounds and twelve more to go!

These are our two guard dogs, Mauka and Lani. They are Great Pyranees and they help protect the alpacas.I don't bother them when they are eating and boy can they eat.They love my husband Mel and he loves them too. When he is with them they understand that he is the "alpha dog". I have not grasped that concept yet so my husband goes into the pasture to get that kind of adoration :) heee heee you women understand...
This is Shelby. She is due to have her first Cria (baby) any day now. You can be sure that I will post about that when it happens.

This is Einstein. He is about a year old.

Alice

Alice is my spitter. Alpacas don't normally spit like Llamas do but she must think she's a llama. I call her Alice because she's so jealous that she won't even let her cria eat.Poor thing. She has an abusive mother and she still looks like she's smiling. MaddieHow can you resist a face like that?
