No guilty tears allowed...we trust you and Meghan to do your very best to give the babies their best lives possible...there are, however, a million different things that you cannot control...there is no fault in that AT ALL...we trust you to do your best and learn where you can (which we have seen you do)... Okie and Journey are playing together in Heaven... God Bless you, LE and Meghan...God Bless Ernie and Okie...
So well said... Thank you for saying what I was thinking but didn't know how to put into words!!!! We love LE and Megan know how hard their hearts are breaking.
So upsetting that both your alpacas got so sick. Megan worked so well with Okie and he was a loving,handsome, sweet young boy. Ernie is a great young man also. So sad for everyone who has been involved with your alpacas.Prayers that Ernie will be able to pull thru.
So heartbroken over the loss of Okie! He was so special! Had such a love of life. Praying for Ernie! He is such a goofy loveable quirky boy! Sounds like what the alpacas got is a super bug that is very hard to treat. There is nothing more you could have done! The boys got to the vet where they did their best! We all know how much you and Meg love all those babies! Prayers and hugs for you and Meg and your dad and Jaime! Okie was well loved and will be missed by so many! Keep fighting Ernie!
I’m so sorry about Okie Dokie and praying that Ernie is able to recover. My heart goes out to all of you during this painful time. They are like your kids.
I'm so sorry for the loss of Okie, he was one of the most loved animals ever, he was so sweet, and so handsome, and he had a huge personality! Prayers for Erine to recover fully!
According to to what your dad said he was told from the vets, this is something happening to Alpaca's all over Texas right now. You do all you can and with Megan too, to keep a healthy place for the animals. It's heartbreaking 😥.But don't you dare feel like you could have prevented this.! Unfortunately, our babies are stricken down ,sometimes, and you have no idea there is anything wrong. Prayers for you all.❤
You both love all the animals. Sometimes there's just nothing you can do LE. From what your Dad and Jami said, this is happening to other owners too. Hugs for both of you.
I am so sorry, there are other alpaca owners waiting for answers too because they have lost their babies. How blessed we have been having watched his antics to cheer us up. ❤
Okie was born friendly to people, I think he warmed up to Lester as soon as he walked, it was precious to watch that little guy. Going to miss him for sure.
Sending love. Prayers for comfort and peace of mind for y'all. It's so hard! Okie knew what it meant to be loved. Y'all gave him the best life. Continued prayers for Ernie. Go Lex! So proud of him. So glad ya'll can be there to support him.
LE if it's Barber pole worms it will take talking to your local Ag department to treat the fields. I had deposits on a very reputable farm and she lost three of my babies recently to Barber pole worms. Several other fur babies. She is devastated. It hits quick and hard. I'm so sorry
I am so sorry LE and Megan, Oakie was such a beautiful sweet boy. Here in NJ Alpaca farms are dealing with it too. It's heartbreaking and honestly not much you can do sadly. I am praying for Ernie. Sending you, Megan, Jami and Lester love and strength and prayers.
So sorry for your loss. Meghan has work very hard to gentle the Alpacas, and other animals. Both of you have such tender, loving, hearts, this must be devastating. Praying for Ernie's recovery. Hugs
So sorry on Okie - know that we are grieving with you. Was so praying he would make it…. Still praying for Ernie and hoping Annie and Indie both are ok. Know that there are Hugs from afar…. Always sucks when loose our two and four legged fur babies/feathers - when they are family…. Prayers still.
I’m so sorry L.E…He was soo adorable and precious. Prayers going out to you Meghan Jamie and Lester for Ernie and the vets as they care for him. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Much ❤️ love
The loss of sweet little Okie is so devastating!! It truly makes me so sad!! He was such a sweet, curious and friendly little guy and he had the most unique markings!!! I am praying so hard that his Dad, Ernie, makes it!! If he does, I am so sad that he will have to make the drive back to the Sanctuary without his sweet son!🥺
My heart is breaking for all of you. We all know how much love and what wonderful care you all give the animals. Okie Dokie was one of my favorites and he will be missed. Praying Ernie pulls thru and that the girls don't get sick. Prayers for comfort for you all.
LE and Megan i am so sorry about Okie. Prayers for Ernie and the rest of the alpacas dealing with the parasites Prayers for strength and comfort. Please give each other a hugvfrom this old grandma❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So very sorry for your loss,,,Oakey was so full of life and enjoyed every second he had with us,,,you all do such a great job with all your fur babies!!! Prayers for sweet Ernie❤ God Bless
I'm so very, very sorry for everyone! You and Megan bring out the best in the babies and Okie was so very well loved!!! That video of Ernie is incredible... First because how wonderful that Megan has "gotten hands" on him! Second that he looks fine!! You're absolutely correct, no one is to blame. Blame is only for situations where someone has been neglectful or abusive...certainly not the situation here! Sure, if you can think of things to do to impact Parasite load, do it. But, dont take it on as blame. Based on what your Dad and Jami said, this is some thing new and is effecting alpaca in Texas in large numbers. Okie will always be remembered as the sweetest, smartest, most joyful, most adorable alpaca on the internet! He will live on in our hearts. Prayers for his daddy, Ernie 🙏💙
I am so very sorry, LE, for the loss of that precious OKIE DOKEY. I am praying for Ernie. I am so glad that you and your dad are able to be at Lex's game. I know he so glad you are their to support him ❤ Meghan diffently was the main person in getting the alpaca boys so friendly. 🥹😢❤💔🙏🙏🙏
It is so sweet and thoughtful that you are protecting Lex from the sad news while he is having his first game. I know you and Meghan are heartbroken over the loss of Okie. Praying Ernie pulls through and peace and comfort for you and Meghan.
You and Meghan gave him an amazing life, it nay have been shorter then expected always always remember the love you two as well as Lester and Jamie he could NOT have a better life then he did❤
So very sorry about Okie!! He was such a beautiful boy!! I know he had the best life and there is nothing more that you could have done. If you could have you would have! We all know that!! Prayers for Ernie and to you too!! ❤❤❤
You are exactly right in saying all you can do is minimize the risk by doing ALL the things you mentioned My heart goes out to you and Megan and your Dad and Jami 😢
I know how hard you two work to give all those babies their best lives. Unfortunately some things are beyond our control. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. ❤❤
