In remembrance of Millie Murray

  •  Blue Moon Ranch is honored to have been chosen as a memorial place for Millie Murray of Nova Scotia.  Millie loved the alpaca cam, and she used to knit things with yarn from our herd. Her internet friends let me know that she passed away on June 22 this year and they chose a lovely scripted rock to be placed at the ranch. I had decided to place it at the “park”, a beautiful, peaceful and quiet place across the stream.  But as I was on my way to do that I got a very clear message that the rock should be placed to view all the alpacas. And I know it’s now in the spot Millie would have approved of.  We are hoping for a baby girl cria to arrive soon and her name will be Millie!
This is where Millie’s stone has found a home.
This is the view standing next to Millie’s stone.
Do you think alpacas can read?
September 8 updated information!  We have a new cria and her name is Millie!   Beautiful light fawn girl who at 26.6 pounds also set the record for the biggest baby ever born here!
We think she is just perfect and are thrilled to have her here with us.
This is the real Millie Murray. Thanks to her son Denis for sharing this photo.

  12. THIS IS ONE OF THE NICEST THINGS I’VE EVER SEEN SOMEONE DO FOR US ALL. I MISS MILLIE SO MUCH. I FEEL MILLIE IS HERE WITH US WHEN I COME HERE AND LOOK AT THE PICTURES OR WATCH THE ALPACAS ON THE CAM. I KNOW MILLIE IS SMILING FROM EAR TO EAR. I’M ALSO SURE MILLIE IS THE ONE WHO GUIDED YOU ON WHERE TO PUT HER STONE TOO :-)

    THANK YOU BETH FOR GETTING THE STONE TO LINDA AND THANK YOU LINDA FOR PLACING THE STONE WHERE YOU DID.
