I got an email the other day from a person who had visited our website.  She sent me an email from the Contact Us tab of our website.

She wrote to me about two gelded alpacas that she had bought about a year and a half ago who needed to be adopted.  Her concern was that her time was not what it was back in late 2007 as her mother has developed some health issues that need her attention.  She is very concerned for her ‘boys’ in that she thinks they need more attention than she can give them right now and wanted to know if I could help her in any way.

We have a herd of 30 alpacas right now and that is about our limit.  So, I knew that we personally couldn’t help her but I told her that I would see if I could help by contacting some yahoo groups that I am a member of.

This morning I posted on texasfiberguild on yahoo groups and asked if anyone would be interested in adopting these two boys.   Almost immediately I got a phone call from Mary in San Angelo who is a retired teacher and she along with some of her almost retired teacher friends have some alpacas of their own.  She has interest in adopting these two boys! 

I just think it is so nice that there are others out there who are willing to help out.  Times are a little tough right now, but I think if these two women can get together they can help each other out and the two alpacas will have some more buddies to play with.  And besides – you can get that beautiful fiber each year and DO something with it!  By the way, Mary informed me that she is one of those crazy alpaca people – join the crowd Mary, there are lots of us!

So a BIG thank you to Mary – I hope this all works out.
