My good friend Susan Phillips owns The Critter Ranch, and specializes in llamas. In fact, she feels that I need a llama too, and I am now preparing the fields for "Confetti"'s arrival. I like pretending that Sue has strong-armed me into getting a llama, but the truth is I'm fascinated by the creatures, and we needed a good guard animal.

Yesterday, my other good friend, Petra, and I took our kids our to Sue's to meet the llamas and have a tour of the ranch. It was a blast, and I can't wait to become a llama owner!

Brendan was the llama whisperer for the day. They couldn't get enough of him! He was quiet and calm, and all the llamas went right up to him. Maybe they just hadn't ever seen a kid without eyes before.

 

Morgan was tickled by it all! She was nice and still too . . . when she wasn't giggling.

 

Sue put Kat on KAL for a photo op. He's a great llama; so gentle and friendly! Kathryn loved it!

Sue showed Petra how to get llama lovin'.

Petra got some kisses!

They kinda look alike, don't they?!
