Out for a stroll

[zebra363]

Cria No. 2 for 2008 was born yesterday, while I was at work in the city and my mother was out here keeping watch. Mom called me a number of times in an increasingly happy mood as things progressed as they were supposed to. I was glad she got fun-filled baby alpaca experience this year, after having to deal with the one born with the broken hip last

*laughs* I would have loved to have seen Misty's expression!

Miranda is gorgeous! I'm glad they're popping out like shelled peas for you and your mom. :-)

She wasn't actually too worried, just alert. There was no element of fear or alarm like there is when they see dogs.

After last year's experiences, we're mightily relieved that things are going smoothly, let me tell you!

There's something enormously comical about seeing an emu stalk down the road!

I think it's the stately, cadenced walk, carrying around the funny little head!

I like them even better when they're a little older and more robust. They look so breakable as newborns!

Oh, what a wonderful story to read first thing in the morning. Happy news, funny news. I love it. So glad to see Miranda looking happy and healthy! And yes, I love that you'd not know if you had an emu hanging around your own place.

It's quite perplexing to me to think that anyone could be unaware of a resident emu!

Baby!

Emu!

Too wonderful! ::is grinning like a mad eejit::

Your place looks lovely.

It's dry and brown here for so much of the year that the winter green is a real treat. It's great for the nursing mother alpacas to have green feed available, too. Everything is going much more smoothly than last year!
