Recently I received a text from our friends at Big Pine Acre Alpacas who adopted our remaining herd last summer. Our youngest cria, Cherise, had just given birth to a baby boy at the end of June! I suggested some names - Good Lovin’, Cosmic Charlie, maybe Reuben to go with the Cherise - all Grateful Dead song titles, of course. So adorable! But as life sometimes happens, I got another text a few days later that the little guy had suddenly died. Heartbreaking… He looked a bit like his grandma, Peggy-Oh, with that white face!
We also caught up with news about the other animals, and as it turns out, Dark Star didn’t make it through the winter. He was 13.5 years old and lived a good life. No cause of death is known, as with so many other animals we had. He did have all sorts of suspicious bumps on his skin, which maybe contributed.
The inspiration for our logo, he will always be our yarn mascot! ❤️
