Introducing Madeline

November 15th 2007 21:38
This is Maddy, born on 11 January 07. She has a teddy bear face, which is a very trendy look in alpacas at the moment and absolutely tons of fleece. (The fleeces are coming off next Friday, weather permitting – mental note to self : Must clean out the shed!)
