She is quite the character!

She actually stayed in the fence all day because of the rain, but she did come out of it and around to the front of the house just to let me know I was late in feeding them :rolleyes:

We're going to the Sheep and Wool Festival tommorow! Ownedby3alpacas has gone before but it'll be my first time and I'm kind of excited. There's a lot of alpacas and sheep, as well as fiber goats and herding demonstrations and you can buy lots of fiber things :lol: She got an alpaca hat last year I think. Our other sister is coming with us, as well as Madison; who's a bloodhound. Last year Freddie went, but since he obviously can't this year miss Maddy is coming instead :)
I don't see your location listed...so where is this festival at?

I was just coming to post about it and saw HankTheTank beat me to it. :smack The festival is in Rhinebeck NY at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds. We'd love to meet anyone who's close enough to go :)

Here's the website:

Followed the link - it's in New York!
Hey, I'm pretty new, so if you don't have your location listed, I probably don't know where you're from.

I went to a Fiber Fest in NY several years ago. Can't remember the exact little town - south of Rochester. I had my sheepdog in a herding competition there, and also brought my dog hair and wool (from my OES and own sheep) in to be picked up by Zeilingers Wool Co (from Frankenmuth, MI) to be spun into yarn.
It was my 1st fiber fest and had a great time! Hope you have fun...happy shopping :)

Elf is too cute!!! Loved both videos :)
Dido Elf's little tail wagging so fast was hilarious and the Duck is alway fun.

We're leaving soon-ish. Ownedby3alpacas has just gone to pick up Madison and then we'll (hopefully) be on our way to our sisters house, then off to the fairgrounds

Sooo, guess who woke me up this morning?

I'll give you a hint- she's blonde and fluffy and thinks she's a dog now!

I heard my mom talking to some animal in the hallway, and I figured it was just Titan because they'll usually set him on me to wake me up, but when my door opened it was Elf! I guess she invited herself in this morning and my mom decided it was too good of an opportunity to pass up... Luckily my bedspread is dark or there would be a couple cloven hoofprints on it :rolleyes: :lol:

Not much of a hurricane yet :) Just pretty windy with a couple of raindrops. It's expected to get worse though

School was cancelled today in anticipation of flooding/power outages/all that fun stuff. Our mom got the day off work too.


However, if either Ownedby3alpacas or myself hasn't posted in about a week, I'd say it's a safe bet that we've been blown away! :lol:

Reasons alpacas are better than goats:




1) They don't invite themselves into the house

2) And if they did the would certainly NEVER do this !!
