On the Farm with Gracie

Hard to believe that tomorrow I will be one year and one week old. Time really does fly when you are busy playing.  Last Sunday I spent most of the day resting from all the party excitement.  Bandit Boy wanted to know why the HuMans don’t have Bandit parties…had to explain again why I am so special.

It is November 5th and where we live it was 14 degrees Celcius (that is almost 60 degrees on the American scale).  My HuMan is busy on the big machine…that would be a combine.  As of this morning he still had about 120 acres of canola to do.  The weather turned crummy back in September and it seemed that everyday it either rained or snowed..not exactly good harvesting weather.  Just know he will be way happier to get old those little black seeds in the bin then he will be able to sing “Let it snow”!  Just for the record let it be known that I do not like canola..too oily if you know what I mean.

Personally, I am not that anxious to have the snow arrive.  It stays for a long time and my new digs haven’t been built yet.  The HuWoman spoke to the builder people this week and they figured they will start in another week or so.  Just think a “Gracie Barn”.  I know, it has to be shared with the others but I like to think they are building this just for little old me.

Last week the HuMan had to drive to Calgary and pick up a huge shipment of sweaters for Paca Pops Kidz.. You know Paca is all about me…the “tech savvy alpaca”.  Well maybe not seeing as the biz was in operation before I came along but I like knowing it is all about us furry folk.  So in between resting up from the party I had to supervise the unpacking, sorting and counting of all the new product.  Thank goodness the HuMans picked Tonka to try on hats.  Not sure they were my color..(oh Gracie you are so funny,everything is your color when you are a Diva)  Let me see if I can dig up a photo of poor Tonka.

Tonka modeling a Snowboarder Hat.. How handsome

Can you just picture it if the HuMan decided to use all of us as models?  Currently there are  10 of us Alpaca types on the farm and a whole litter of those BIG CRITTERS.  At one year of age I can’t count high enough to figure out exactly how many there are.  Guess I don’t have enough toes!  Maybe I can borrow some of Tonka’s toes to count on.  Speaking of Tonka, we had great games today and for the record I am still faster than he is.  Want to see some of the BIG ONES?  The babies are bigger than I am!

BIG CRITTER'S

Just so you know, the creamy alpaca in the photo is Joey.  He likes to think he is one of the Big Critters.  What is wrong with him?

Gotta go, Mama Bear is calling and so is my bed.  Good night all.
