Alpaca must taste good?

I finally have some handspun yarn to show you that doesn’t make me want to puke.  I’m not sure if it’s the practice or the new fiber but this yarn is by far the best I’ve produced.  It hangs perfectly straight and is not too twisty!  It’s 100% Suri Alpaca that I just got for the store from a local farm called Alpaca Meadows.  This fiber is so nicely prepared that it really seemed like it spun itself.  I was nervous about trying such a nice fiber while I’m still such a newbie, but I’m glad I did!  I can’t wait to do a little more but I have just one problem.  I just discovered this…my beautiful Alpaca roving reduced to a pile of fiber.  VERY BAD DOGGIES!  They don’t usually show an interest in my yarn but apparently the smell of farm animals was quite enticing.  Glad this happened now and on a small amount of fiber so I am more careful in the future.  Is this going to spin just as well now?  I don’t have carders so I hope I’m not supposed to start all over with getting the fiber prepared?  Please comment on that if you happen to know!
