10. Alpacas have a way of bringing good people together.

Yes, I do know these are "difficult economic times". I also believe that life is more than just economics.   In this month of giving thanks, I am grateful every day for my life with alpacas and decided it might be a good time to share that with you!  If you decide alpacas should be in your life, we'd love to help you get started.  Let us know if you'd like to come to one of our Saturday classes!

Tip of the Month: There are times when you need to move a group of alpacas through a gate, or into an area but you don't have the three helpers with you that would make this a simple job. I discovered quite by accident one day that by holding a piece of PVC pipe, my arms now look 16 feet wide and it was easy to move the animals!  The alpacas are never touched by the PVC , and as I move very slowly and calmly they are efficiently moved in the direction I need them to go. Not a single alpaca tries to get past my long white arms. As you can see, it has no effect whatsoever on dogs! :)
