John, my brother, is off for a week at the Olympic Training Center, so I get to take care of his dog, and his llamas. Seeing John leave.. with luggage ..made Buckie become 120 pounds of Sad and Lonely Dog - Buckie just mopes around, barely moving his head when you walk into the room. (Give him five days, though, and he will probably come back to quasi-normal. ) The llamas are a lot of fun, as they peek and peer at you as you bring their food buckets to them, so skittish and yet so curios.
