Llamas on the Lam!!!



My brother created quite a stir at one of the golf courses he manages in North Carolina by using llamas as caddies. Turns out they are remarkably cooperative when it comes to toting golf bags and they certainly are a marketing sensation.

This story from the Louisville station WLKY website made me sit up and wonder whether the refugees in question were some of his brood who had migrated off course. Turns out the llamas belong to Kentucky llama farmer Dale Hill. Felicity, the llama who led the great escape, noticed an opening in the fence and decided to check it out.

No harm done, other than a few startled neighbors who thought they were seeing things when a llama appeared in their back yard. According to Hill, the three escapees had an "all-nighter," on the road. All were eventually safely captured and returned to life on their farm.

Makes you wonder what they thought of the open road or maybe they were just looking for a wayward tee shot.
