On the Farm with Gracie

Good morning all… all I seem to do is apologize for being late with updating my blog.  Sheesh, it is hard for a little girl to find time in a day to type on the Mac.  After all the days are shorter and personally I think Mama Bear likes it as she manages to get all of us in bed earlier.  Not sure what she does after we go to bed but I like to think she has a stash of really good hay or alpaca ration to munch on while she watches over us.

Was your Christmas good?  Ours was excellent.  The HuMan always makes sure we have our alpaca food along with really good hay and lots of water to drink and of course Mr Ed gets his big warm bottle of milk and yogurt twice a day.  Do you know that boy is now taller than me?  He has lived with us since the day he was born so sometimes I forget that he is one of those big CRITTERS and should be bigger than me but to me he is just my little brother.  

 

When Mama Bear was reading us the story about the night before Christmas I thought it rather interesting that Santa uses Reindeer.  Why would he choose reindeer when he could have ME?  I am really fast and love to run.  And why does the lead have to be a male?  I could don a red nose and look pretty darn impressive if I do say so myself. My buddy Tonka Toy was being silly the other day so I have to show you a photo of him.  He looks like he should be the red nosed Cane Corso or like one of those pigs with the apple ready for the oven.  Ughhh…did I actually say that?

 

 

 

Maybe we should have a contest or something to see who gets to pull the sleigh?  I could be “Gracie the DIVA”.  A pink boa might be just what is needed to kick this up a notch or I have this cute rings of bells?  I tried on some antlers with bells; thought I might imitate Rudolph but dang I didn’t like them so the HuWoman only managed to get one photo before they went flying so right here and now I am telling you that I will not be wearing any antlers… Boas I am okay with.  Hang on and I will find a couple of photos for you.  Even ones of Tonka trying to be a DIVA…that is so funny, Tonka is a boy.

 

 

Speaking of DIVA’s do you know that my HuWoman Sister is a DIVA?  She is the owner of the Grandboy and Grandgirl but besides that she has a company that is called Designing Diva and she makes all kinds of jewelry and stuff that is so gorgeous.  I asked her about making me a Gracie ring but she just laughed and said she would make me a Gracie necklace but thought the ring might irritate my toe…she is probably right so I hope when she makes my necklace it has some really big PINK jewel in it because I love pink… You should check out her website at www.designing-diva.com That HuWoman is crazy for chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate.

Oh my, this morning I am just bouncing around all over the place.  I have an update on my barn.  It is finally finished.  Now the HuMan and HuWoman just have to spend a day outside digging in the snow to make sure there are no nails or sharp objects that might hurt Gracie or any of my friends.  It looks rather nice but I am still waiting to see if they put a sign up that says “Gracie’s House”.  I am so spoiled and such a DIVA.  Watching them build the barn was rather fun but I did feel sorry for the two HuMan types that were building it.  It was so cold here that it pained me to stick my nose out and it just kept snowing.  I overheard my HuMan say that they had to use a Tiger torch to that the ground so they could drill the pilings for the posts.  When I heard that I went running to see this Tiger torch; okay I am really confused there was no Tiger anywhere to be seen.  Think the HuMan was just kidding with me.  Wait, I have pictures of my new digs.

 

 

I am going to have to go soon as Mama Bear is calling for me.  What are you all doing for New Years?  I think we might just snuggle in and let Mama Bear read us a good story.  Love the holidays; we are forever getting treats.  When the HuWoman cooks she saves all the peelings from fruits and vegetables for us.  Wow, we had some really good things, yams, potatoes, carrots etc and  all kinds of fruits.  A culinary delight if I do say so myself.  It is always extra good when they had lots of company.  The HuMan Son came home for Christmas dinner.  He was very tired after his long drive so didn’t visit Gracie and friends this time but he usually does.  It would have been nice to see him especially seeing as I heard he got a new hat that has a rabbit fur on it… they put rabbits on hats?  how ever do they eat?  The HuWoman and her sister were saying how much he looks like the Grampa Greenwall in that hat. Lots of other relatives stopped by for dinner too.  The HuMan Girl and family live too far away so we only got to talk to them on the phone.   The GrandGirl tells me she is on a mission to raise money to save dolphins.  She is dolphin nuts.  I am very proud of her and happy that she is going to help the dolphins.  

Rumor has it that the HuWoman is going on a road trip with her sister to some place south..think she said Phoenix.  Then my HuMan is going to fly down and stay for a few days so that means another HuWoman by the name of Donna will be looking after us.  Donna is really nice so that is okay.  It always takes Mr. Ed a couple of days to get used to her and Mama Bear tries to take her hat and mitts but it all ends up being okay.

Mama Bear, Mr. Ed, Bandit Boy, Tonka and of course me, Gracie the tech savvy alpaca want to wish you and your family Happy New Year and may 2010 be a year of dreams come true!  If my dream comes true it will look like this   “Gracie’s House”…  Bye for now

 

P.S.  So if you think I should try out for Rudolph’s job next year let me know. maybe we could start a petition!  Gotta go…Mama is getting louder with the Gracccccieeeee!
