Albert wasn’t like the rest of the pack. He never wanted to eat at the same time. He never wanted to sleep at the same time. He didn’t even want to play with the rest of them. He would stand at the end of the fence and stare. Any where I would be he would be staring at me. Like he was looking into my soul. Albert is a gentle llama though so I’m not really sure what his problem is. I’ve tried multiple things including an animal therapist, but he just said that Albert is drawn to my beauty.
