In our alpaca online shop we not only want to offer the wonderful products of our fluffy friends, but also give an insight into the life and feelings associated with keeping your own herd of alpacas. For several years we have shared our lives with these gentle, curious animals who are more than just farm animals for us - they have become part of our family.
Every morning we take our alpacas out to pasture. It is a ritual that gives us as much joy as it does our animals. The sight of them jumping into the fresh grass, full of joy and energy, always puts a smile on our faces. The evenings when we bring them back to the stable are just as special. In these moments we feel the deep bond with our animals that goes far beyond a simple owner relationship.
One of the greatest joys in our everyday lives is the birth of our alpaca babies. These moments are magical and indescribably beautiful. The first time the little foals stand up, their curious looks and their tentative first steps - all of this fills us with deep gratitude and happiness. The herd is growing and every new life brings a breath of fresh air and endless joy.
But life with animals is not always full of happiness. We also had to go through difficult times that we still remember today. Three of our beloved alpacas - Emilio, Ennio and Luna - left us far too early. The loss of Marzo, Ennio and Luna was particularly painful because they were so young and full of life. Their illnesses and deformities were not obvious and the surprise and sadness of their sudden deaths hit us deeply.
Despite these sad losses, Marzo, Ennio and Luna are still part of our herd. They live on in our thoughts and hearts. We remember their unique personalities, their idiosyncrasies and the many beautiful moments we were able to share with them. They taught us how precious and fragile life is and showed us that love and connection continue even after death.
Living with animals, especially a herd of alpacas, is a journey full of ups and downs. There are the bright, joyful moments that make our hearts sing, and the dark, sad times that teach us humility and gratitude. But it is this mixture of joy and sadness that makes life so intense and meaningful.
We are grateful for every minute we are allowed to spend with our alpacas , for the love and trust they show us. They enrich our lives in ways we could never have imagined before. In our alpaca online shop we want to pass on this love and connection and hope that you too can experience a piece of this special relationship with our alpacas.
