We've had several... interesting... experiences since Dad posted that last post about Saturday. Especially today! Here are the events - in chronological order:
First of all, to begin with, at 10:30, a.m., Rocky and Chip somehow discover an entire deer leg (hair, hooves, and all) somewhere on our property (or the property next door, which, thankfully, is vacant) and commence bringing it into the front yard to...um...dissemble it?
Second, 12:00, noon: Mom, Sarah, and Roberta leave to "go see" (haha!) some Alpacas down in Spokane. Why, then, did they... Whoops, I'm getting ahead of myself. Must be studying foreshadowing to a further extent than necessary...
At 4:00, they return. And guess what is in the back of Dad's pickup truck? Alpacas from Spokane. Yes, I said Alpacas! We've got two; they have been renamed - Micheal and Gabriel (a.k.a. Mike and Gabe) - both white/brown. I haven't even seen them yet - they're back at the barn. What could "go see" mean next....? ( Comment from Roberta "They are so cool! Mike is a brown/red huacaya and Gabe, he's 'my boy', is a white suri." Their expressions are priceless!! By the way, WHY didn't any of the info I read on these beasties say they got car-sick!? Yeah, wretchedly so. But they are definitely worth it.) By the way, this is just an experiment. The man who owned them wrote on the recipt - "If not happy, money back," We're still thinking...
Mom is racing around, getting ready to go to" farm school" and agricultural course at the community college given for small-scale farmers. And, could you guess what the dogs come up with now? A turkey! A real, dead turkey in the middle of our driveway. Oh, boy, Joe says...
At 4:30, Mom and Dad are running out the door to farm school, (almost late...) and a piercing shriek comes from downstairs. Now what? Abby. Has. A. Dead. Mouse. In. Her. Boot. I am telling the truth! Seriously - a dead mouse. and she was just wearing those boots a few minutes ago. Must have been the excitement of the new water heater. Mouser patrol!
Well, that's all for right now...what else might happen today!?
Sincerely, your reporter,
Hannah
Fluffy, the Alpaca. He's not ours...
Mike, the Alpaca. Look at that head! Hm...
Sarah's Artistic ... um ... talents?
Roberta and Gabe. Doesn't he look happy?
Roberta and Gabe again. What are you doing with your ear back, dear...? Don't look so... offended!!!!

By the way, who know who Michael and Gabriel are in the Bible? Funny parallel that the names have created...! Gabe and Mike are ajusting quickly, thankfully.
(P.S. Michael and Gabriel are two of the archangels. Ha-ha!)
