Alpacas

Near the beginning of August 2009 I bought 4 alpaca's for my birthday. They were delivered on August 14th, the day after my birthday, which from here on out will be known as Alpaca Day for me. When they first got here they were all very skittish, not really want to get near me because I was someone that they didn't know. Shortly after they arrived, Kodiak and I came to an understanding, he does not want to be petted and I do not want to be kicked. As the weeks have gone on, they have started to accept me and they occasionally come up and nip at my arms while I am getting their food ready for them. Shiloh lets me pet him, as long as his head is in a food dish and Professor X lets me pat his butt when he is eating the hay. Zachary is still very shy, Kodiak still does not want to petted and I still don't want to be kicked. All in all we are doing great together and I am looking forward to the day that I can halter them up and take them to the craft fairs with me.
