Just because they look cute is no reason to decide you want one. Although to be fair that is how our Mistress has ended up with four of us to look after. There is a field we pass when we go swimming that now has some alpacas in it. Our Mistress says she wants an alpaca. Now, you know it\u2019s not practical and I know it\u2019s not practical but would someone like to get that through to our Mistress? When we got back yesterday she started looking up how to look after an alpaca. I presumed that she wouldn\u2019t find anything useful, but you\u2019re not going to believe this, there is somewhere only a few miles from us that offers courses in alpaca care. She has sent the link to our Master and said she\u2019d like to go on the course for her birthday. I\u2019m pleased to say our Master does not think it\u2019s a good idea. Aren\u2019t we enough for her? Besides that, isn\u2019t an alpaca going to get fed up being herded by four Entlebuchers? With any luck she will settle for being able to visit someone else\u2019s alpacas, where you can actually go for a walk with them. Better still she could just enjoy going for a walk with us and forget about the alpacas altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be fair, she isn\u2019t actually safe to be allowed out on her own. She fell over when she took my swimming and managed to get a really good bruise on her leg. Wilma was very concerned and did go to see if our Mistress was ok, but thankfully she could get up on her own. I\u2019d want our Mistress to lose some weight before I volunteered to try to pick her up! I wonder if you can get an assistance alpaca to act as a guide for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
