That look on your face when you see your best friend wearing white shoes before Memorial Day.

What a fun visit I had last night with this family, celebrating a very exciting week. Two family birthdays and Meghan and Justin are getting married this Saturday! So of course they had to squeeze in a picnic with the Pacas to add a cherry onto a most memorable week. (I think Olivia got a wedding invite)

Smiles are contagious. Be a carrier. Rozzy sure is looking pretty shaggy! As our days heat up, the herd is ready to lose their winter coats! For the past 3 years, this would have been the week that the alpacas get sheared. Our alpaca shearer has a busy schedule in the Spring and we don't have a choice of days, as this week is his only available appointment for us. But April weather is pretty sketchy and the nights can still get pretty chilly.... Shearing this early has caused us much stress and extra work, as we've gone to great lengths to try to keep the alpacas warm at night once they go from sub-zero winter parkas to a light t-shirt in a matter of minutes. So this year We decided to try a different shearer and selected May 1st as our shear date. As dumb luck would have it, this year will probably be tropical in April and the herd will be complaining of the heat. But I feel so much better about this decision! Fingers crossed that our new shearer works out! (Kevin and I shear the llamas ourselves.) See more

At first glance, it may look like Ellie and Rozzie are sweetly snuggling on Easter morning...but keep watching and you'll see that they are actually practicing their WWE Smackdown moves. Watch Rozzie's mom, Verana actually step in and tap out the '1-2-3 count PIN' with her foot!! And of course Ellie has to retaliate with her signature "Knee Bite" move. ... Coming soon to the LWWE ( Llama World Wresting Entertainment) channel!! See more

Conswala and the bunnies debated for quite some time over what to put in your basket. They decided to fill it with so much joy, that it gives you a cavity that can only be filled with a whole llama love! : Graphics by Zimmerman Designs
