Busy day yesterday… Alpaca shearing time

Hello WA'ers

Yesterday was busy we had the Alpacas sheared. Every 12 months they get sheared because if they don't they run a risk of overheating during the summer.

See the above photo... and they always look so funny and so skinny especially their necks.

It's done by a professional shearer and they get wormed and vaccinated, have their toenails, teeth and hairdo's done.
When all the animals came home last night... (they all come into the home yard at night) the other animals just stared at the poor Alpacas as if they were aliens... they didn't recognise them with their new hairdos.

My backs broken ... and probably other body parts too, I had planned to blog about it after but was sooo tired, I showered fell into bed and passed out at about 7pm last night.

So here I am catching up, and feel like I've just climbed MtEverest. I tell you it totally sucks when your body ages.

I mean I still think and feel like I'm about 30 in mind and always get this big reality shock when I look into the mirror in the morning so now I try to look at myself without looking at myself if you know what I mean.

If you do know what I mean then you must be part of the "older" generation and I'm glad because at least I'm not alone.

It's really good being part of the WA community, at least when you experience a "feeling" you know you're not alone ... there's another WA'er feeling something similar to you...thank goodness.

Happy days

Ruth
