Evidently it's baby alpaca season...this is a one week old with it's Mom, and Susie is expecting two more! Alpaca's carry their babies for a year before giving birth, so this is a big deal. Thus, this weekend Susie is inviting folks to come out and look at our precious cargo and offering them to foster homes. For those of us who traveled with them for a few days, it's a little tough to see that happen (all of us grew attached to them!). Knowing where they are and that we could visit was comforting. Heck, just think of their owners if we're such goof balls after just two days! In the end, foster homes would be more appropriate, as these little guys were all totally lap dogs. They don't know what this kennel thing is all about, even if they have a huge run to play in and the scent of alpacas to entice their imaginations.

We've taken them all around the Enlightenment Stupa at least! So that seed of liberation is now in their mindstreams, certain to eventually lead them to Enlightenment. So, it's time to let them go on to a better life. They'll be fostered for at least 90 days, leaving time for their owners to find them. Each has been microchipped and documented, and anyone with a tag information was given to the vet or contact on the tag. Ultimately these little dudes were meant to be reunited with their families, if at all possible. May they and all those that come into contact with them experience joy and peace.

And if you're interested in a little joy and peace, we've got the Stupas here for you!
