Good weather and big crowds made our stay at DEC days great! Day 1 I had both CoHo and CW with us but CoHo decided he no longer wanted to be at trade shows. He hummed, squealed and when some rowdy teens started to provoke him he covered them in spit. Normally I’d be upset and embarrassed at this but as I said, they were rowdy teens *grin*
Day 2 I left CoHo home and CW came with me. He must have been tired from all the fuss the day before because he slept almost the entire time. The alpaca that got the most attention is what I called our “flat alpaca.” I brought my Miracle blanket and any time someone wanted to pet the boys I herded them over to Miracle who was kind enough to never run away, kick or spit.
All in all, it was a great weekend for both answering alpaca questions and selling my wears. Next trip will be to the GV Hunt Races on October 9th.
I have a new hydrant! M. Finally finished the trenching and my new hydrant is in and looking oh so pretty next to our new barn. Believe it or not I haven’t had a chance to use it yet because it’s been raining so much the boys are getting all their water intake from the grass.
I did manage to get one silly project done this week. I was playing around on my knitting loom and worked up a small dog coat. Since I don’t own a dog that small I opted to test it out on our new kitten Frito. Well that turned out to be a good laugh since he couldn’t figure out how to walk with it on. He figured out how to wiggle out of it in about an hour though.
Photos! I got a call last night from a Photography student at SUNY Geneseo who’s looking to showcase local farms as her project. She’ll be stopping over tomorrow morning to photograph our cute and fluffy herd, I’m sure the horses will get their moment too.
Speaking of photos here’s some of the girls I got this week. Babies! Awe…..
