So we really didn’t think Cowboy was old enough to get the job done, but apparently he did the job.
We have been anxiously awaiting a cria (baby alpaca) and honestly I wasn’t fully positive she was even pregnant, but, Jay pulled up a lawn chair as he suspected she might have one.
In the meantime I started to cry for help because I accidentally locked myself in the goose coop yet again with some hissing geese that I was trying to catch. At the same time
Jay started to excitedly call everyone to come watch as he was witnessing the magical birth of the alpaca! Luckily Connor came to my rescue, but due to me being an idiot and forgetting to install an emergency pull string we both missed the main event.
Brooke wants to call her Carol, probably because she is obsessed with Christmas, but it also goes with the old lady name theme, and it was my grandmas name, and Jays mom’s, sisters and nieces middle name.
As today was the Sturgeon Full moon with a partial lunar eclipse and because the moon had a coppery red tone we added in Copper, so her name for at least the moment is Miss Copper Carol.
