Ted's Diary
written by Amen Ra (Ted) The Alpaca of Distinction

Sunday  July 2nd.  Gosh, you should have been here today! I laughed so hard that I nearly gave up my place at the hay!

The BOSS and Other Half moved Alex into the field next to the girls, and that little hussey half-sister of mine wasted no time before making eyes at him through the wire! And poor old Alex didn't stand a chance - when Boadie blinks those long eyelashes of hers, even a heart of ice would melt! Well, Alex is just a big softie, so he didn't stand a chance. Once Alex started to try to climb over the fence to get at her, the BOSS decided that perhaps it WASN'T such a good idea, (it must have been one of Other Half's ideas), and Alex was led away on his halter, back to his own field, pretty sharpish! I have to say, he looks more than a little "put out". Well, wouldn't you be?

Now BOSS has decided that a whole paddock will remain empty betweenus boys and the "Cutie Pie"; Boadie! Barley and Barnaby are too young to know what's going on, and Ivory is too much of a gentleman to show his true feelings on the matter - however, his nose seems permanently fixed to the fence which separates HIM from the girls. Do I detect a spark of interest there? Hard Luck, boy! You have to wait your turn. Alex is oldest, so he's first in line. I wonder where I come into all this? After all I am An Alpaca of Distinction, so I should be first! Oops, I forgot! I'm related to her. But there's always Conker, now THERE'S an alpaca with experience! I like a challenge!
