Alpacasrus

July 17, 2007 By Carole

See that title up there? That’s the text message that Blogless Sharon sent me on Friday night. It was meant to inform me that she is now the proud owner of two alpacas.

There they are. Neno is the brown one and he is 8 years old. Bandit is the black one is he is only one year old. Are they not the cutest things ever?

These alpacas just sort of fell into Sharon’s lap. You see, their previous owners got divorced and since the man was the one caring for the animals and since he was leaving town and since the wife refused to care for the animals, well, through a series of emails and phone calls they became Sharon’s.

I think they will be quite happy on the farm. They are surrounded by other animals including sheep, cows, pigs, chickens and a couple of dogs. Plus they have Sharon and Al to care for them.

And visitors like Dale to kiss.

    Yay for Sharon!
    When is she going to set up a blog??? We should do this for her. She can’t be having fiber-bearing critters and no blog. It’s just wrong. Wrong, I tell ya. It’s like having loads of yarn and NO knitting needles. It’s wrong.
    SHARON! Hay, SHARON! Get a damned blog already!

    How wonderful for Sharon (and you);-)

  7. Ruth says

    July 17, 2007 at 8:03 am

    They fell into her lap? That must have hurt!

    oh, I slay me. Seriously, though, they’re VERY cute, and Sharon is one lucky duck.

    I couldn’t think of a better place for them. Very cute- esp of The Sherpa Dude getting kissed. 🙂

    With those long legs and long neck, Neno looks a bit like a giraffe from a distance! Cute pictures, especially the one with Dale in it.

  16. Julie says

    July 17, 2007 at 9:27 am

    Lucky, lucky Sharon! They are so adorable; I love little Bandit’s face.

    Dale and Bandit seem to have hit it off pretty well 🙂

    July 17, 2007 at 9:47 am

    Aww! The title took me a minute, actually–at first I tried to spell it out, like alpacasaurus . . .

  18. JessaLu says

    July 17, 2007 at 9:50 am

    I’m with Dave – Sharon needs a blog. ;o)

    Cute alpacas! I’m glad they have a good home :o)

  19. Risa says

    July 17, 2007 at 9:53 am

    How very cool! Blogless Sharon needs a blog now!

  20. Kathleen says

    July 17, 2007 at 9:56 am

    aww…when we lived in ma. one of my dreams was to move to pembroke and have an alpaca farm. or at least a few. wonderful! btw, who gets the first copies of harry potter at the library? is hannah on the list?

  21. Birdsong says

    July 17, 2007 at 9:57 am

    What a good heart to take them in! Love the photo of Dale getting a kiss, which is much better than a spit.

  22. jillian says

    July 17, 2007 at 10:06 am

    Awwwwww! So glad they found a good home.

  23. jessica~ says

    July 17, 2007 at 10:08 am

    Neat!! They look happy already. (that is a great picture, at the end)

  24. Carrie says

    July 17, 2007 at 10:16 am

    Alpaca smooching! Hooray for Sharon! Good things came from a bad situation.

  25. Lucia says

    July 17, 2007 at 10:22 am

    I feel bad for the splitting couple, but lucky Sharon! I at first read your title as “alpacasaurus” — think of all the wool on an alpaca the size of a brontosaurus, but then again, how would you shear it?

  26. susan says

    July 17, 2007 at 11:00 am

    Yay, for Sharon! I’m looking forward to photos of the shearing next year. Will you be participating???

  27. Chris says

    July 17, 2007 at 11:40 am

    Sounds like a great name for a murder mystery: The Inadvertnet Alpacas.

  28. Cookie says

    July 17, 2007 at 11:45 am

    Love the photo with Dale! Who knew alpacas gave kisses? So much nicer than the spitting.

    Yay for Sharon! I hope this means there’s going to be a blog soon.

  29. maryse says

    July 17, 2007 at 12:10 pm

    gah! they are cute. they’re so dr. seuss-like.

  30. Emma in France says

    They’re gorgeous and beautiful colours too.

  31. Kristi aka Fiber Fool says

    July 17, 2007 at 12:17 pm

    How fun for Sharon! I love the photo of Dale with the youngin’! LOL!

  32. Heather R. says

    July 17, 2007 at 12:23 pm

    They are lucky little alpacas-there is more than enough luvin at that farm to go around!!

  33. Teresa says

    July 17, 2007 at 12:30 pm

    Oh wow, that’s nice! Hmmmm…do you think that my apartment manager would be convinced an alpaca llama was a 40 pound dog?

  34. Deb says

    July 17, 2007 at 1:25 pm

    Dale and the alpaca sitting in a tree. K I S S I N G. Seems more like blogless Sharon’s Alpacas need a blog.

  35. Beth S. says

    July 17, 2007 at 3:17 pm

    That was a very good deed, giving a home to animals who needed one. And now she’ll never lack for alpaca fiber either! 🙂 See, karma.

  36. Jennifer says

    July 17, 2007 at 3:33 pm

    They are adorable!

  37. Kelly says

    Adorable!

  40. Mel says

    July 17, 2007 at 5:12 pm

    *snigger* I initially thought it said “Alpacasaurus” and wondered what the hell I was going to see. They do get dressed up in outlandish costumes for shows, you know – a practice I find undignified and unthinkable for my own.

  41. Marcy says

    July 17, 2007 at 6:20 pm

    And did Dale kiss back? IMWTK.

  42. Rachel says

    July 17, 2007 at 9:06 pm

    I believe that if I had easy access to alpacas I would acquire a not-altogether-healthy obsession with them. I’d get up early and stay up late and skip work and shun my friends just to find opportunities to plunge my hands in their amazing coats. Be very careful if you have addictive tendencies.

  43. Amanda says

    July 17, 2007 at 9:07 pm

    those are so adorable! and the picture with dale – priceless!

  44. BigAlice says

    July 17, 2007 at 9:50 pm

    Awwwr, they are pretty cute. I keep trying to convince K we should get some dwarf goats to keep the grass mowed ‘naturally.’ I have yet to be successful.

  45. jessie says

    July 18, 2007 at 5:42 am

    Cute, cute!

  46. claudia says

    July 18, 2007 at 5:45 pm

    If Sharon doesn’t blog now, she is denying the world some serious cuteness.

  47. Rachel says

    July 19, 2007 at 7:16 am

    I see that I’m not the only one who read the title as “alpacasaurus”. That had me a bit confused until I read it again 🙂 Lucky Sharon, getting some alpacas. They look like such sweet animals, I bet they’ll be a wonderful addition to the farm.

  48. julia fc says

    July 19, 2007 at 3:11 pm

    Send Sharon my congrats. That’s great news.
    You know I am all in favour of the Alpacas taking over the world.

  49. Laurie says

    July 20, 2007 at 4:06 pm

    That lucky girl! What cuties. True black? YUM. And a creature who appreciates human goodness, to boot.
