Alpaca Farmgirl

Ever wonder what goes through an alpaca’s mind before they spit? Here are some humorous answers to the question, “Why Alpacas Spit?” - from the Female Alpaca’s perspective.

1. “Don’t even THINK about touching my cria. Or any other cria, for that matter.”
2. “Excuse me! That’s MY feed bucket.”
3. “Teats?? You want to check my what?”
4. “I’m pregnant and you looked at me the wrong way.”
5. “That’s my girlfriend. Don’t even think about it.”
6. “Great. Here comes that macho again. Been there. Done that. No need to do it again.”
7. “Don’t even THINK about coming near ME with those (shears/needle)!”
8. “Not the TOENAILS!! It took me forever to grow them out!”
9. “You aren’t thinking about using that thing on my teeth now are you???”
10. “You did say you had just showered and washed your hair and were on your way to town didn’t you? You’ll never learn, will you? “
