They are so beautiful! I'm not sure how well a Jack Russell would get along with them though!
Oh..... I just LOVE those alpaca. I used to spin, card, and all that stuff. I think I made at least 100 sweaters. Thanks for sharing your photos.

Oh they are so cute. It made me nostalgic. I used to card, spin, and must have made nearly 100 sweaters. Thanks for sharing your photos.
