What a difference a week makes

The Montana llamas arrived 8 days ago. They had been living "in the wild" at the Montana Large Animal Sanctuary -- which is now closed. Eight hundred llamas living on 700 acres and foraging for a living. Of course some hay was available, but apparently not enough for that many llamas.
Sara Beth was the first to receive a name -- of the 22 living llamas that arrived here. She was named for the Rascal Flatts song of the same name. Don't know it?

SaraBeth is scared to death
To hear what the doctor will say
She hasn't been well
Since the day that she fell
And the bruise it just won't go away

So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
And flips through an old magazine
'Til the nurse with a smile stands at the door
And says "Will you please come with me?"

SaraBeth is scared to death Cause the doctor just told her the news
Between the red cells and white Something's not right
But we're gonna take care of you
Six chances in ten it won't come back again
But with the therapy we're gonna try
It's just been approved it's the strongest there is
But I think we caught it in time

SaraBeth closes her eyes
And she dreams she's dancin' around and around
Without any cares
And her very first love Is holding her close
And the soft wind is blowing her hair

SaraBeth is scared to death as she sits holding her mom cause
It would be a mistake For someone to take
A girl with no hair to the prom
For just this morning right there on her pillow
Was the cruelest of any surprise
Yet She cried when she gathered it all in her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny

SaraBeth closes her eyes
And she dreams she's dancin' around and around
With out any cares
And her very first love Was holding her close
And the soft wind was blowing her hair

It's quarter to seven that boy's at the door
Her daddy ushers him in
And when he takes off his cap they all start to cry
Cause this morning where his hair had been Softly she touches just skin

They go dancin' around and around
Without any cares
And her very first true love Is holding her close
And for a moment she isn't scared Ohhhhhh.

Just look at the two photos. Sara Beth the day she arrived -- all hunched over, looking defeated. Sara Beth today -- standing proud and tall -- looking right into the camera. It's called "hope" my friends, hope.
