Well, Cocoa Powder isn't exactly a "new" edition (we officially bought and paid for her in December) but she is now living here!!!
I don't know if I made this public here or not but after the excitement of the beautiful boy cria she gave birth to in June, a definite loss was felt when he died about 2 weeks after birth. He was fine for about 10 days and then suddenly took sick. The other farm did all they could for him but in the end it just wasn't enough.
This proposed another problem besides the loss of the cria. Pregnant girls cannot be TOO stressed or they will lose their babies. No alpaca wants to be alone (you cannot have just one- ever!) and she was going to have to travel about 8 hours to get here. :( So, Erin gave us a great deal on a pet fiber male. This is a male who didn't quite make their herdsire cut. :) He's a beautiful silver grey male that we named Silver Bullet. :) We call him bullet for short. He seems to be fine with that.
Cocoa and Bullet are adjusting well to our farm. They aren't used to living in a small herd and they aren't used to as much interaction from 2 legged things as ours are. Today though I saw definite progress. I walked about 5 feet away from Cocoa and she didn't bolt. That's progress. When I went to hose them off this afternoon she came right up next to me to let me do it. :) I think I have found a way to her heart. hehe They are also getting used to our dogs. Cygwyn is ENAMOURED with Cocoa. He just follows her around. It's hilarious. She hates it. She is so skittish. But she's getting used to him. :) Destiny is helping out too by loving on me and showing her new buddies that I am okay. She's such a doll!
I have some pictures for you to see but I have to warn you... Cocoa photographs horribly! She is really pretty up close but bay blacks are hard to photograph since their eyes get lost in the darkness of their faces. We really have a rainbow of colors out in the field now.
See for yourself...
Grazing together
"Oh look! Mommy's here!!" Bottle babies are always special. :)
"Oh it's the 2 legged thing again."
Such a looker!
Ignoring me
Goofy look. She really is pretty in person.
Such a sweet girl.
All together
The "boss" of the pasture. This was taken after I hosed down their bellies. :)
Sleep well everyone.
Blessings!-

They are so pretty!
We recently saw some alpacas at the local science center's zoo and my boys said, "look mom, llamas!" I was so happy to be able to tell them that no, they were alpacas and in fact I had a friend who raised her own and could show them pictures when we got home. I felt so smart. lol
Oh my goodness, Silver Bullet is BEAUTIFUL!!!! I LOVE seeing these guys, they are so pretty and different.
Miss chatting with ya!

They are all very pretty. Very nice looking animals. Do you have to hose them off to keep them cool? Are you expecting any more babies any time soon?
Yes Lea, we hose them off to keep them cool. If it's over about 85 we hose them at least once during the day. We also have fans going in the "barn" all day to keep them cooled off.
Delight is due in January. That's the next baby. Cocoa will deliver sometime next June. They have an 11 month gestation. :)
They are beautiful, darling. I am sure you guys are having a blast with them.
