My alpacas are used to kids, they are incredibly inquisitive by nature, and just love to follow my son around, and give him kisses.

First row is Starburst kissing Loki, right one is Barbosa and Leonardo,

Left is starburst as a baby, then Barbosa again, and right is Wooper and Kane.

This is my son Loki and his new friend Hope,

 she was born premmie, so she is a little undercooked in this photo.
