'Pacas in the Pool

This last weekend, MIL J and I were putting up the dog run when the alpacas came running in from the field to visit. This isn't too uncommon. They like to see what we're up to and see if we'll throw them some food. I told Moe I didn't have any food and got back to work. When I next turned around, this is what I saw:

'Paca in the pool!

Up until now, I've never seen the alpacas get in the lake. However, this wouldn't account for much because I'm not home very much. FIL D, who is home most of the time, said he had never seen them in the lake either.


After Moe, Larry followed suit. 'Pacas in the pool! Did I say that already?

No. No I did not. I said 'Paca in the pool, not 'Pacas.


It must have felt good. They have to be hot with all that wool.


It felt really, really good.


Shemp, who often stands on his own, finally joined in. Larry decided to just lay down in the water. These boys had to be cooking, I know I wanted to be in the pond too.


I know they're taunting me.


Apparently, our neighbors have never seen the 'pacas in the pond either because we've gotten calls telling us they're in there and asking if their stuck.


No, they're not stuck. They're just hot.


These guys don't really play "follow the leader", they just all wanted to go into the pond.


Then they all wanted out...at the same time. Honest, I've never seen them follow each other.

Anyway, since they've discovered the pond and how good it feels, they've been spending a lot of time there. The pond, once again, provides cooling abilities for another species.
