Walking with Sally!

I spent the last two nights at this lovely farm on the ocean in Addison, Maine. I was Downeast for a meeting with Island Readers and Writers, and then I stayed on to do some research and to attend the Machias Wild Blueberry Festival.

At this farm, there are llamas. Joan, the wonderful B&B owner, allows guests to take one for a walk!  So, of course, I had to try that!  Joan said Sally was the best walker, so she chose Sally for me to walk.

"It'll be like walking your dog," Joan said.

My dog is tiny, so I replied, "You have not seen my dog."

The other llamas were curious!

At first, Sally wasn't sure she wanted to go!  But I used the same voice that I use with the dogs at the animal shelter and said "Come on now," and she came.

Thank goodness!

We went where I wanted to go, but I let her decide how fast we went.  Sometimes we stopped for a bite to eat.



The B&B is a gorgeous salt water farm with dirt roads and trails on the property. So Sally and I walked along and enjoyed the sun and salt air. Once she was out of sight of the barn, she was happy to walk with me.



Thanks, Sally!  It was a great walk!
