The big boys are finally out of quarantine! Mom and Dad let them out into the larger turnout area yesterday morning. They still can’t mix with the rest of the herd, but at least they get to explore a bit more. Poor Marcello is not the sharpest tool in the shed, so he managed to get himself behind the shelter and couldn’t figure out how to get back to the front. Bravado inspected everything closely, and approved. Merlin just wanted to graze.

No way, Jose, he ain't budging.

After spending a few hours out, it was time to go back into the paddock so the girls could have their turn. This, unfortunately, was not part of the boys’ plan. Dad put fresh hay in their paddock, which got Marcello and Bravado to come in. Merlin was having none of it, just “no way” from the old man. Marcello and Bravado got themselves out again while Dad was trying to shoo Merlin in! Hee hee. Alpaca fire drill!
