This is why I love living in Colorado Springs - the top story of the Gazette is about a llama rescued from Pike's Peak. Apparently his mom was killed by a mountain lion and he ran away, finding his way up Pike's Peak where he flirted with Cog Railway passengers and caught a bit of frost bite. The best part of the story, the lady that went up and rescued him now has to babysit him because his owner is on vacation for 3 weeks!
On a sad note - they just posted something on CNN about a woman getting mauled and killed by her 350lb black bear pet. Note to self - llamas are good pets - bears...not so much
