A note about this blog:
Just how *do* you go about getting into the alpaca lifestyle when it seems near impossible due to lack of funds or lack of a farm? How on earth do you learn to care for these tranquil creatures once you get them home? This journal documents how we started from the ground up with next to no funds and no knowledge, and how, with the help of very supportive breeders and friends, it is possible to make a dream come true! Join me on this very honest and personal journey. ~Roo~

Mazara and Serious are coming home!

Posted by roo on April 17th, 2009 — Posted in Serious, Mazara, Demi

How did my little girl grow up so fast?  Our first born cria, Demi, is ready for her first breeding.  I’m taking her to Ohio tomorrow to be bred to one of Rachel’s boys, and I’ll leave her there until she’s confirmed pregnant.  She’ll ride in the van with me, just her and I, the long 10 hour haul north.

I’ll stay the night with Rachel, then on Sunday morning we’ll load Mazara and Serious in the van and I’ll be making the trek back with mom and baby.  Serious, from what I’m hearing, has developed serious attitude and he may turn out to be a handful in the van, which is why I’m doing the trip alone, not with my 4-year old in tow, lest Serious jump into the back seat and hurt him.  Initially I was going to take Penelope up with Demi as a travel companion and bring her back with Mazara, but I’ve decided that Serious may feel far more at ease if it’s just him and his mother, so Penelope is staying home.

I’m excited to see our new cria, can’t wait to get pictures!  I’m nervous about Demi, fingers crossed she’s ready for breeding and that she’ll have no problems conceiving.  Tonight I had better get an early night :)
