Rather predictably when I agree to do two extra days at work something will always go wrong but this week it happened in spades.
We have had a cria with colic, then his mum has an oedematous cornea and just to top it off we lose one of our alpacas overnight - Basil who we had shown last year who had also this year recovered from a broken leg. Just to make sure the dogs weren't left out Apple decided she had strained something and couldn't walk on Tuesday.
I am glad to report that the cria seems fine, the eye is stable and Apple has made a miraculous full recovery (typical wire).
On a more cheerful note here are some photos of our lovelys from this year.
