About Lets Pronk
Have you ever had that tickly little fun feeling in your stomach? The one that makes you giggle and gets you to put a bounce in your step? I do too. I think that’s where a “pronk” begins. My husband Bryan and I are the proud Aunt and Uncle of the beautiful alpacas at Northern Solstice Alpaca Farm in Unity, Maine. I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker who also loves to take wildlife photography and engage in creative design. When I learned about the "pronk", it struck me as a very fun thing to do. Alpacas pronk when they are excited and happy. I began to think that perhaps people should also consider pronking as a way to raise their spirits and improve their emotional and physical well-being. These are particularly tough times for people in all parts of the world. People live in distressed conditions which range from poverty, war ravaged countries, lack of basic necessities and just plain inhumane conditions. It is a sad time in the history of human development. What might make us have a little happy thought? A brief moment of abandon like an alpaca? We could pronk! Let's pronk is dedicated to the joy of the pronk and the hope that a pronk with good friends might bring. Let's pronk together to celebrate the importance of good friends and the joy that simple activities can bring. We run a small business out of our office in Old Town, Maine.
Why Should We Pronk?
Alpacas pronk. That mean's they bounce straight up with all four feet off the ground to express happiness. Alpacas often pronk as a herd in the early morning or at dusk. A few other mammals also pronk like antelopes and kangaroos but none do it with the same joyful abandon as the alpaca. We at "Let's Pronk" believe that people should recognize that great emotional and physical benefit can be derived from pronking. An early morning pronk or late afternoon pronk can result in a feeling of deep self satisfaction. Pronking with friends can be a joyful experience that encourages emotional bonding leading to richer relationships.
