Ruby was running around and she sure got thirsty. We wean our babies between 5 and 6 months old. Ruby just turned 5 months old so her days as a nursing baby are almost over. She's shorn now too so she's starting to look more grown up.

I've been busy burning brush lately. Well, when I let the alpacas out front the other day they couldn't wait to roll in the new ash pile. They love to roll, especially in ash. Down in South America they use ash to keep the bugs off of the alpacas. Somehow our alpacas knew about this too! Ocean just finished rolling and Ruby couldn't wait for her turn.
