Curious George Trains the Alpacas
- What am I getting myself into?
This cute story was shared with me by my friend Valerie Newell from Crown Point Alpacas in New Hampshire.
Spring shows are coming up. Time to start thinking about halter training. If you have kids, letting them come up with ways to make it more fun can make the whole process more enjoyable.
It was a beautiful winter day, and early in the morning with the sun shining…I heard my little girl having quite the talk with Curious George. “George, would you like to come and meet the alpacas and help us train them for the show? You are always up for a challenge and something fun and exciting? So what do you say?”Apparently George agreed because I saw them both bouncing happily as they headed out to meet the alpacas.
They each got their turn with the halter and the leads. “George thought it was so much fun.” It was truly a great day, it was very apparent that George and Annie felt proud and happy at the end of the day as they walked the newly trained “Snowman” together!
And as a mom, when all is said and done there is nothing like a happy kid, a happy monkey, and a trained alpaca!!
P.S. Thanks so much to Valerie for sharing this cute story with us. If anyone else has interesting/cute/helpful alpaca things they would like to share, feel free to email me with them. I am always looking for great items to publish.
