Just like some parody of the worlds most anxious expectant father I am now pacing up and down all morning waiting for the two pregnant alpacas Minne and Sorpressa that are due to give birth to their cria (baby alpaca)... to actually get on with it......

Everytime it looks like something is about to happen it turns out to be false alarm...I think this is one of the soundest reasons I know for using the services of an alpaca breeder to agist your alpacas and then you can relax and enjoy the news...once it is all over.

Second only to getting someone else to shear your alpacas while you watch...oh sure enough its fun the first couple of times but after that the novelty does pale and the shear (pun intended) hard work of it all starts to kick in...wow I sound so stressed today.

Last night I discovered that the AOBA elections failed to reach a quorum ie 30% of the membership so will ow have to be conducted all over again...what a pain and what a waste of resources. Regular readers will know I have my disagreements with the AOBA BOD from time to time but when it comes to voting we all have a duty to stand up and be counted. If not then save yourself some money and become an Associate Member.

I think I better go take break this expectant watching stuff is getting to me.... see you all tomorrow. When hopefully we will have exciting news!
