You just never know what the day has is store ......do you?
This morning we took in the three alpaca cria that were born in the autumn to give them their booster shots for the 8 way vaccine. All three are really looking good and healthy. Although I didn't know it at the time I was going to be helping with a more natural injection later in the day.

Sergeant Pepper a handsome white male alpaca was born on Oct 24th and is now 78 lbs.

Bandelier a gorgeous light fawn female alpaca was born on Sept 30th and is now
102 lbs.

Evita a beautiful brown female alpaca was born on Oct 20th and is now 82 lbs. A gain of 22 lbs in the last 47 days. So almost 1/2 lb a day.



We were going to cut some toenails but the weather was looking threatening so Macario continued with his wall building project while it was still dry.



The wall extension is so that we can extend the vegetable garden.

Then the strangest thing happened. A young Mexican guy who uses my unwanted rocks to build walls for other clients showed up with his friend. It turns out his friend has a very painful wrist and he would like me to get my bees to sting him on the wrist!!

I am not quite sure what my insurance company would make of this but I certainly wasn't going to charge anyone for the service.

So to cut a long story short we encouraged some of the bees to wake up and share their venom...... I have to say he took it very well as they injected him and hardly flinched at all. I do hope it works, he was convinced it would work and said that he had been looking for bees for some time in order to get the cure.

Meanwhile the rain has arrived so I shall be staying in the warm and dry for the rest of the day and catching up on some paperwork.
