CRIA CUTENESS ALERT!

We turned the new cria and Mama Chantilly back out with the herd today. We finally have sunny, warm weather. Chantilly really appeared to want out after being stuck inside in a pen for almost a week.

Meet HHF Killarney, otherwise known as Killer. We found out his IGG was low, but he is doing just fine. He has gained weight and been just as active and bright as either of the other two. I think his ears are looking a little better, hopefully, over time they will straighten up more.

One of these days I will get some video of them pronking around. Everytime I have gone out there to video, they just walk or stand around.

Cria Cuteness Alert!

CRIA UPDATE!!!

Meet our latest addition to HHF, Chantilly had her cria this morning probably around 8:30. Another boy and weighing in at 15 lbs. Kevin got cria duty this time. He had gone out to do his chores and there he was. He was still wet and covered in afterbirth. Chantilly hadn't even passed the placenta. Kevin looked around for it and couldn't find it. Eventually, he saw it kinda just hanging there, he walked up behind her and took hold, she walked off and out it plopped.

I knew she was going to go today so I was going to leave work early, well she foiled my plans by having him in the morning. Hummppfhhh!

He has been nursing very well and the vet will be out in the AM to do the necessary shots and bloodwork.

Doesn't he have the cutest ears? I have a feeling they will straighten up but I am glad I got these pictures before.

Random Pics!

These are the pretty bushes that are outside of my bathroom window. I have no idea what they are but I really like them.

One of the few birds that has remained other than the wild turkeys, hawks and crows.

Boston Ferns do really well on our porches. None of them have even begun to turn brown. Skippy, our house guest is standing by the grill, she looks kinda like a coyote. Of course, Elvis is at the top of the stairs enjoying the sun. He is such a hound doggie.

I love Boston Ferns. They are such a lovely shade of green and are soft and wispy.

Gracie running around the back yard wishing she could get past the invisible fence to chase that damn deer that just ran through the woods.

Paca Pics!

This is Clare running up on poor Mama Annie!

Little Annie decided to wear her hay!

Double Poop!

Chloe and her killer bangs!

Cria Watch Is On!

Well, just waiting for Chantilly to pop. She is due on Tuesday. She is bred to Impact who is also Tip's daddy. I really want her to go this weekend so that I can see it. Pacas have their crias during the afternoon. It doesn't look like it will be today, I was just out there and nuthin, she just looked at me like what?

I took some more pics of the two cria that we do have. I tried for some video, but they weren't doing anything but nursing.

Look at how much bigger Tip is than Clare. He is only 6 weeks older. Doesn't Clare have the cutest face? She always looks like she is smiling.

Bored Totally Silly!!!!!!!

I am so totally bored, we have had another crummy weather weekend. It is so unusual for this time of year. Normally, we are a bit on the dry side with lots of 70 degree sunny days.

The top pic shows what my backyard looked like about 30 minutes ago, what you can't see is the rain that is coming down, dreary, dreary, dreary.

The next pic is out of one of my bathroom windows, I love those bushes, such a pretty color and they get pretty red berries. Our house is on a slope, so on that corner, the bathroom windows are probably 25 feet off the ground, that shows how high those bushes are. I have wanted to get pics from the outside but the weather has been so poor.

The puppy is of our house guest Skippy, she belongs to our friend T.J. who was such a big help with the Alpacas. He is Irish and went back there because his mother is ill. He has decided to stay (boohoo), so Skippy has had to go through all kinds of stuff before she can be shipped over there. T.J. is working on the last details with Ireland's AG Dept, and he needed somewhere for Skippy to stay until she leaves. Well, we love her, so volunteered. She spent lots of time here while T.J. was helping and was just wonderful. She is some kind of Japanese breed and very smart, makes my yaahoo dogs look positively atrocious.

Darn, I think the rain stopped, gotta run!
