Japanese Spitz, Early Morning at Mt Tanga and the Maternity Paddock

Last night I attended a committee meeting at the home of Diane Bulpit, she has 2 very lovely Japanese Spitz dogs, Yuki and Koda.

They were very pleased to be allowed to join us for the meeting.....

This is Yuki

And this is Koda

....but it turned out to be less exciting than they hoped!!

Prior to the meeting we had dinner at the Bowning Pub, which was delicious, and I can thoroughly recommend the pork belly with wilted asian greens, mash and gravy, yum :)

This morning, the moon is still up, and most of the alpacas and llamas are yet to get up for the day.

Not so in the maternity paddock, where Pearl and Narcissus are up and about.  Narcissus has our first Bracken cria on board, hoping for a grey girl - fingers crossed.

Pearl is huge!!  She is not due until March 1st, but last time went 18 days early.  She was mated to Alba, who is black and not a very large alpaca.  At her current rate of growth I am expecting her to give birth to an adult sized alpaca, or twins!! I have never seen a girl this big prior to due date!
