And I'm not talking about the tickle-me version...
I'm talking about this guy:
This is my friend Marj's llama. Isn't he awesome? I couldn't wait to meet him on my visit to Maine. I've never seen a llama up close and in person. (Oh, by the way --- he already had the name Elmo when Marj got him. I knew she would want you to know that!)
Llamas are great livestock protectors. Apparently, Elmo is no exception. These are his "girls" and he takes his job protecting them seriously.
So much so, that he was a little freaked out by me trying to get close to any of them. I told Marj, "I'm going to hug him before I leave here". Her reply: "Yeah, good luck with that one."
And she was right. No llama hugging occurred. All I got was this:
And this was as close as he'd let me get.
Maybe next time Elmo? Yeah, definitely next time.
