I was stressed so I went to a friends farm and hung out with Alpacas who are native to Peru and The Andes and such, they are super amazing animals. If you are stressed, go hang out with some Alpacas and run around a farm. Just get away from Humanity and chill out with retired Race Horses and assorted hooved creatures both big and small...... I also got to check out the crops growing, it was very Zen....good times!
Even got to take home a Cantaloupe and learned how to check it for ripeness....you boop its belly button which is the soft spot on the bottom. ( City Girl here, so yeah these were new facts for me)
She was super awesome to let me hang out and I learned a lot about farms such as the fact that Donkey's are kept to protect Alpacas from Coyotes and predators. Yes, even Eeyore is a badass.
Alpacas get jealous if you give one more attention and they spit like a Llama or Camel, I also learned they have two stomachs, who knew?
It was a much needed change of pace and I love living away from the maddening crowd. If I ever get rich am going to have a set up like this. Alpacas have replaced Pandas as my favorite fuzzy animal.
