Spotty New Bugs

(Painted Pines) Maximus - aka Maxi and (Painted Pines) Lateece - aka TC are newly arrived from the Barossa Valley, ably transported by Rohan Dalgleish.  They have now been accepted into the herd and have started their halter training, they are both very calm and quiet animals, so things are progressing well, especially with TC, who is already eating llama lollies out of my hand :)

This is TC, pretty in pink:

And Maxi in blue:

Such pretty little alpacas, love the spots!!

Of course if there is something going on, the usual sticky beaks will have to be checking it out, Pearl:

Did someone say llama lollies? - Jade:

If there are llama lollies I'm here - Bianca:

Welcome Rapunzel

This morning Red Riding Hood gave birth to a very pretty appaloosa female cria.  We've named her Rapunzel.  She's already up and about and has figured out the milk bar, Ms Hood is a first time mum, and she's done it all by the book so far, so its working out very well :)

Everyone is very keen to meet the newcomer, Aymara with her head through the fence!

Ducklings - wet and dry And A Spotty Future

Hatching day is a big day for ducklings, they need lots of rest and enjoy cuddles  ... Going....

Going.....

Going......

Gone!

Today they are having mega fun with bath time, underwater races and splash fests!!

Welcome new kid on the block Ulonga Morse.  Yesterday was a big day, a long trip and this morning he enjoyed brekky and then a nice lie in the sun.  

I was beginning to think his legs were painted on, but luckily after lunch he started getting up and about!  He is a very calm boy and beautifully well trained, my thanks to Nerida and John Aldred for allowing us to have these gorgeous boys.

Looking forward to some stunning spotty cria from this boy and his half brother Basil, both of whom are co-owned by Garrick Llamas of Burra Creek.  New lines and (more) lovely spots for us both!!  The boys will be alternating between the 2 properties and available for stud, details will shortly be available at www.maisonmauve.com.au
