Alpaca's New Digs!
Thursday, March 6, 2014
It has been raining cats and dogs here, with the past three day’s rain totals being double than entire month of March last year!
Getting ready to show and keeping everyone fairly dry is always a challenge. This year, we decided to add walls to our barn, filled with drain rock and installed indoor/outdoor carpeting for the alpacas comfort. But it sure helps us keep them clean, dry and pampered!
Even Commander, our Komondor has gotten into the action. If dogs can smile, he is grinning from fluffy ear to fluffy ear!
We know that other parts of the country are getting pounded with unendingly extreme polar weather of snow and ice – while we on the other hand have received more than enough soggy weather. We feel for our friends across the country and we are certainly not complaining. Rain is better than snow any day of the week. Trust the "snowflake freak-out lady" on that one!
Above all, it has been fun seeing the transformation of our building and how the alpacas are enjoying their new “digs”. Less than a month till show season!
