Last night we dropped off Rikaku, Opinicus, Alphyn and Bagwyn at their new home on Paekakariki Hill Road.

It’s weird. They are no long my alpaca.

Buy hey, previously when my alpaca “went away” I had to dig a grave for them, so this is a much happier outcome! Grant and Deb are thrilled at their new pets, and I expect the ‘paca will have a grand time on those steep hills.

While they do have two dogs (German Shepards from the look) they seem very on top of the whole “proper control and training of dogs.” Barring a really unlucky accident, everything should be fine.

I will miss Rikaku and Opinicus the most, as they both had personality. I never got to know Alphyn or Bagwyn very well. And Opinicus may well be a super-star, he has his mothers intelligence, but is much less suspicious. With proper training he could be a “go anywhere” alpaca.

We should be delivering the rest of the boys we sold in early-mid December. *sniff*
