On the Farm with Gracie

Wow, summer was great! The weather was cooperating, well my HuMan complained about the lack of moisture and his crops but personally it was great. Warm and sunny just the way we alpacas like it.

In June one of the big critters..that would be a llama (wow are they huge) gave birth to twins! Guess this is not very common and she said “no way, one baby is enough” so little Mr Ed came to live with me. He was a tad on the small size being a twin and all. My Mom, Mama Bear adopted him right out of the gate… well she wouldn’t let him suckle her but she is the protector of Ed and I.. Oh how we love Mamma Bear. Wait I’ll show you a picture of my friend Mr Ed. Isn’t he cute? He has really big ears…

My other friend that lives with us is Bandit Boy. Sad story, Bandit was four months old when his Mom got sick and she died! The HuWoman did some research and discovered what he should be fed and bottle fed that boy too! Good grief, she has been bottle feeding babies for a couple of years now..finishes with one and another one comes along. Welcome to Motherhood I say… Hang on I bet if I look I can find a photo of my buddy Bandit.

So, don’t you think he is rather handsome. The HuWoman thinks he should be an advertisement for Dasani water bottles. Not a bad idea.

The summer of 09 was really great because the human grandbabies came from Texas to visit. It was love at first sight.. they are more my size and we had play dates everyday. We ran and ran.. the grandbabies would run as fast as they could…I gave them a headstart only to be fair but would pass them within seconds. I am exceptionally speedy especially when I put my head down and just dig down deep and GO!

Hugs from my HuMan boy buddy… When I play I like to run into people or other animals, Tonka, Bandit Boy or Ed with my chest.. This grandBoy friend always said “Gracie knocked me down but she was just playing”.  No wonder I fell in love with him.

The grandGirl friend loved to feed Mr. Ed… she was forever feeding him and loving him up.. Very lucky little boy if I do say so myself.  So as you can see summer was great.
