Here it is Monday again.  We had a busy weekend, looked at a house and went to a movie with the grandkids.  The house was too small and too expensive.  The movie was fun and exciting.  

Last night while I was in the shower, Steve heard the alpacas fighting.  He went out with the flashlight to see what was happening.  Stewie and Prince were at each other big time.  Running and screaming, Steve could see the blood flowing too.  I went out this morning to feed them and didn't see much.  Prince showed no signs of trauma.  Stewie had faint blood smears on his neck, side and back.  This indicated to me that Prince was the one bleeding.  He probably bit his tongue trying to bite Stewie and smeared his blood everywhere.  I will have to check for fighting teeth sometime when it is light and Steve is home.  It gets dark so early now.

We are thinking of buying a horse trailer to transport alpacas.  It would be a way to put the boys into the breeding cycle and maybe make some money in the alpaca business.  It doesn't look like fleece is going to bring any money in anytime soon.  Steve has Thursday off so we are going to look at trailers that day.  If we get one before the end of the year, it may help with our taxes.  

I plan on getting some more of the Christmas gift wrapping done today.  The laundry is already done and waiting to go out on the line to dry.  It won't take long since we have a brisk breeze and a sunny sky.  

We have gotten several Christmas cards from friends and family but no one has included a letter so far.  Must've been a difficult year for everyone.  Let's hope the holidays are good and that next year is better!
