Welcoming, collaborative & knowledgeable
I couldn't help but notice the Alpaca in your photo...?
Yes, that’s Dave. We formed an attachment on a recent Alpaca walk but he’s too big to be a house pet so we had to end our friendship prematurely. I did think this might be an opportunity to beat Melissa Hagan on the big pet front, but it wasn’t to be, unfortunately.
