Finally, our alpacas have something to guard, our 2 Wiltipoll lambs, twin wethers we’ve name Lewis & Oswald. (Drew Carey fans will get the reference)
The alpacas were a little wary on day 1, but have embraced their new flock. The sheep had absolutely no problems being with alpacas & actually ran to them after they arrived in our property.
Only out of hospital yesterday (thanks Liisa for bringing her home!), Christine will be laid up for a few weeks. She is well, but sore & tired – her hospital medications accounting for her doziness.
So, if she’s a little quiet, don’t be alarmed. Christine is just recovering from surgery.
You will remain in our memories forever isa.
