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

22nd January 2007. Well, it seems to have stopped raining for a little while and the wind has died down enough for me to stand still for a few minutes and reflect on life. 

It’s coming up to that time when the BOSS has to take those kids away from their mums. Ah! Poor little mites - they will feel so unhappy for a few weeks – I remember last year whenBarley, Barnaby and Sexy-legs had to leave their mums.  The poor little dears, humming, pacing up and down – well, the boys anyway! You should have heard that Barnaby, he’s such a wimp!

But they got over it in a day or two. It's funny how the mums never seem to mind, in fact I think they are quite glad to see the back of them for few days, they can get on with the much more important part of life – eating!

I have it on good authority that little Chris is coming into MY paddock for me to look after when he’s fully weaned.  Lucky little lad is being put in a paddock with cutie pie Charm and my little sister Boadie for a few weeks first.  Now why can’t I have Charm to look after?
I must have a word with the BOSS.

Barley is going to his new home in Essex in a few days time, so he’s being checked over, - feet trimmed, bits taken out of his fleece – Boy! what a huge fleece for young lad! The BOSS has a real job on there, mud, hay, leaves, more mud! I’m sure he’ll look wonderful when his new BOSS comes to get him.  He’s had his injections – which means we will all be getting ours in the next few days.  Well, I always knew there was an upside to rain – BOSS says we can’t have our injections if our fleece is wet! Now you know why I’m standing out here looking at the sky – is that a cloud I see?  Gosh, more rain! Oh well, that’s life – it’s a real shame my shelter has lost its roof again – now I will get all wet – Ha! Ha! See - I told you rain was GOOD for an alpaca. No jabs today!

Now where’s my hay? Oh, it’s in Ivory’s shelter keeping dry! I must have a word with the BOSS about letting me visit with Ivory for a day or two, just to be sociable.
