Since our two alpacas, Okami and Uluru, have been shorn, they seem much tamer and friendlier, and they come right up to me now. It’s almost as if all that wool got in the way of our friendship!
They are still very shy and are the most placid animals I have ever come across, but they are also very curious and love to roam around with the birds. If you recall, that is why we got the alpacas in the first place; they are supposed to be good fox deterrents. Somehow, Okami and Uluru don’t seem the fox-attacking types, but you never know!
They are such gentlemen. Okami is the white one and Uluru is the brown one.
Curiouser and curiouser!
As for my own two gentleman (the human ones) Husband has been home again for the weekend. I will have to take him back to the nursing lodge soon but he is really positive about this now and keeps talking fondly of the nurses (mmm!) And Son will be home soon from yet another sleepover with some best friends. This afternoon, we will get ready to go to Perth for the operation; Son will be admitted tomorrow, with surgery scheduled for 8am Tuesday morning.
My gentle, gentle men – and me:
I feel as if I am entering one of those tunnel rides where you don’t think you’ll see the light again and then, whammo, you emerge unscathed into the frothy bubbles of life, life, life.

I think you’ve got something here. I wonder if shaving people would produce similar results.
You never know!
They are so cute!
You are all in my prayers, especially over the next few days.
Thanks, Tilly. I find your blog an inspiring antidote to everything blah – you are a wonder! Love Julie
Hi,
Fantastic photos, the alpacas look gorgeous. 🙂
So docile!
