Humberston: It’s a tough day for the folks at Lincolnshire Llama. They just lost Harry, their beloved alpaca. He was a real character and had a way of touching everyone’s hearts.
Harry was nearly 15 years old and the oldest in his group. His curious nature might have led to his tragic end, as he got stuck in some fencing overnight. Katie Good, his owner, is heartbroken.
To honor Harry, Katie started a GoFundMe to cover his cremation. She wants to scatter his ashes in the field with his friends. Harry was more than just an alpaca; he brought joy to kids, the elderly, and even those facing tough times.
He loved munching on fresh hay and hanging out on little mud hills, just soaking in the view. He was also a hit at parties and care homes, where he’d chill with guests and pose for photos.
Sadly, he couldn’t free himself from the fence and got cold overnight. Katie’s dad found him the next morning after a dog walker reported something was off.
Harry was the first alpaca to join their family and had a protective role, keeping an eye on the field. He was known for his inquisitive nature, which sometimes got him into trouble.
After the incident, Katie noticed the other animals were acting differently. They miss him, especially his half-brother, who’s been a bit down. It’s heartbreaking to see.
Despite the challenges they’ve faced in recent years, like Covid and rising costs, losing Harry has hit them the hardest. Any extra funds from the GoFundMe will help support Lincolnshire Llama with food and fencing.
Harry’s story has touched so many, and the outpouring of support has been heartwarming. It’s a reminder of the kindness that still exists in the world.
