Little Survivor

Eden is her name. She is about 50 lbs of spunk and soft brown silky locks. We keep a coat on her because she is so small and has had such a tough time since she was born last June.



Eden’s mother, Carmel Charm is a beauty and Eden is her first cria(baby). Due to a difficult birth…unusual for alpacas…Eden was born with brain damage. At birth, she was blind and kept walking in circles to the right. Because she was blind and neurologically impaired, she couldn’t figure out how to nurse from her mum. So my good friend, Sherren came to the rescue. She babysat and bottle fed her for several days. When Sherren had to leave, I took over. We bottle fed her and worked with her to get her under her mother to nurse. Eventually, Eden improved and now she bounces around the pasture with the other babies and readily nurses from Charm.



She seems to have recovered most of her eyesight. But she is still very small for her age. We don’t know if she will ever be able to have her own babies, but it doesn’t matter. She is special and a survivor and very friendly. She is White Dog farm’s“little Ambassador”, greeting everyone with a little “hum” and a nose nuzzle.

Buddies

Denali, our Great White Pyranees and the little female shown are buddies.

Denali lives with the herd and protects them.
The moms and babies all know that she is their protector.

Up here on White Dog Hill, we have cougar, Canadian lynx, bobcat, bear, and coyotes…BIG coyotes. We have even spotted a wolf. So Denali takes her job very seriously. She is about 150 lbs of lightening-fast aggression when she thinks her herd may be in danger. When things are quiet, she is just a marshmallow...and a buddy for baby alpacas.


Magic wants to play with Denali...or just a kiss?
