Did you see the video of alpaca being brought to nursing homes to ‘visit’ with the elderly? It was so sweet.

If you mean the one in the Netherlands yes I just watched it, thanks. I would post the link but then all the nursing homes would want a visit and its just not practical now. 👵

This was the Riverview nursing home in Michigan, but I watched the video from the Netherlands. These alpaca look so sweet. Whenever we are able, I want to visit a farm nearby in Alabama.

We have An Alpaca farm that has an open house a few times a year and its amazing! There are several in Florida you know?

But none of the FL farms are near me. AL is actually closer, plus it goes through some very pretty country. Seeing your handsome guy, I cannot wait to visit.

Its true for him but not for the millions of homeless Alpacas across the country. Sleeping on subways, smoking old cigarette butts, begging for hay, its a cruel, cruel world Sandy. 😥

Mike, you have a kind sympathy for the homeless alpacas If you set up a fund, I’ll send you some hay.

That’s sweet Sandy but I’ll just avoid the subway, keep Alpaca snacks in the car and share my smokes.

Well I was bored this morning and went to visit him. He not only gave me good advice but his portrait kept me busy for a little while. Now I know he just goes with the flow. 🌌

Thanks Cee, he wanted more photos for his portfolio. His goal is to replace the LiMu Emu but I told him its a long shot.

This one probably is happy to have a roof and food … but sure looks like maybe some companionship would also be welcome. That’s a come-hither look beneath all those curls!

These animals are part of a motel that’s been closed for a while. There are people who take care of them but I may be the only visitor. I think his look is because a huge rainstorm was on the way, they know theses things. 💧💧💧

I bought some from eBay and one of those bandana things from NuffSaid. Here in Lancaster the Amish are also selling them at roadside stands. Take care Lisa.
