Splish, Splash........

Well, it's not me taking the bath, but the alpacas sure seem to enjoy it. A new addition to our family came way of a friend whose hubby picked her up another Alpaca through a sale. Unfortunately, the new little guy wasn't accepted very well by her long time 1st existing one Buddy.
Lynne knowing that I wanted another told Faye that I'd likely be interested & that is how he came to stay.

Picking the name seemed like a no-brainer as well since we already had "Splash", lol. "Splish" is a little different looking that Splash because he is a Suri alpaca. They don't have fleece like the Huacaya kind, but pencil-like long locks more like an angora goat. Very silky & soft.

Here we have a picture of "Splish" on his way home in the "Shrekmobile". This is what we have always referred to our van as, but will quickly have to change it to the "alpaca shuffle van" since this seems to be it's new common use.
Splish & Splash; it was love at first site. Please don't tell either that the other isn't female. They're still younglings & neither one has noticed the difference yet, lol. They are the best of friends & are like Siamese twins.

Splish enjoying his new pool which was my kid's old sandbox which got converted when we filled the drainage holes in with silicone. It works great because we can flip the sides up to cover it at night leaving no carnage to pick out in the morning .

And finally, the whole family together: 2 lambs & 2 alpacas in perfect harmony.

Peace out, Boop
