Everyone here at Walnut Creek including the alpacas plus the horses, the dogs, the cats, and Dave & Karen would like to wish you and yours a blessed Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

We had to face the fact that our Anatolian Shepherd, Leila, wasn’t going to come back home. Emotionally I wasn’t ready for a replacement. It doesn’t matter whether I’m ready or not, I just know we need another guardian dog here to protect our alpacas. We have a big place …

Sherry and Steve Rogers are dear friends of ours. They own and operate the Sardis Lakeview Cafe. They also have a hobby farm not far from our alpaca ranch here in southeastern Oklahoma. Sherry and Steve take care of neglected animals. They have horses, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks and even …

Our new calendar for this year is a baby alpaca calendar. Most of the alpaca pictures are from our fall baby season. I tried to use the baby photos from my new camera rather than my old one. I think the pictures from the new camera are so much more …

When this cria was first born, Dave said, he reminded him of Stevie Wonder because of the way he holds his head. Of course I was in denial and I kept on insisting that nothing was wrong. Well when he started to take his first steps we realized something was …

Can you hear me now? We’re having trouble with our phone lines. The phone rings but it appears that no one is there or we can’t hear you. We called our phone company and they said we are not the only one having phone problems. They said the problem is …

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. So far I’m having a wonderful alpaca birthday. We had two beautiful baby girls in one day!These two gorgeous crias arrived yesterday afternoon.
