Marseille is born!
On Saturday at 10:30 AM, Marseille, our newest baby alpaca was born! At a whopping 21 lbs, this girl is on the upper end of the healthy range already! It didn’t take her long to stand up (you want them … Continue reading
Wet felting + Me = Fail
I’m not trying to toot my own horn here, but sometimes people say things to me like, “Wow, you are a natural at X” or “I can’t believe you’ve only done Y for such a short time”. And I am … Continue reading
TripIsStillAdorable.com
It’s amazing how often I feel like starting a post with “OMG Trip is adorable!” Over the weekend, I got to weigh him (Trip gets weighed weekly, this week he gained 3 lbs). It involved just a little bit of frantic … Continue reading
Ideas for M baby names?
Still no baby, but now that the vet is out-of-town for a week, we’re all hoping Mikayla WON’T give birth. The report from the ranch is that Mikayla’s become quite a recluse. She’s not standing in the pen with the other alpacas, you … Continue reading
Alpaca bio: Brittany

Let’s just rename the site “TripIsAdorable.com”

Trip gets his first monthly checkup
It’s hard to believe, but Tripoli is one whole month old! The vet came out to do his checkup, and Mom and Dad had to catch him to weigh him. Which resulted in the most addorable picture of a proud … Continue reading
CliffHouseAlpacas.com is here!
CliffHouseAlpacas.com is officially up and running! Your current links will redirect to here, but if you want to change them to something shorter, go ahead. Still no new baby, so here is a picture of Mom holding Tuscany last year, … Continue reading
Mikayla’s baby update
Our Mikayla is due to have her baby any day now. It has been hot hot hot down in Castle Rock, with no afternoon thunderstorms to cool down the atmosphere (and everyone living beneath it). Poor Mikayla is now 11 months pregnant, and … Continue reading
The men come home
We finally finished our second paddock and were able to bring the gentlemen home! These boys are our “rescue alpacas”. Their owner had to sell the farm, fast, to move out-of-state, and they had nowhere to go 😦 . Pictures … Continue reading
