Llamas Redux

Yahoo! News - Wayward Llama Surprises Wisconsin Family
Strange News - AP
WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. - A llama on the loose gave Brenda Hobbick and her stepson, Zachary, a surprise when it showed up at their rural Grand Rapids home. The cattle and horses at their property bear little resemblance to the animal that was standing in the yard as they arrived home Friday.
"We just pulled in, and I was like, 'That's not ours. What the heck is it?'" said Zachary, 15.
The wayward llama had slipped away from a pen in another part of town when Dale Carlson went to do some raking.
"I carelessly left the gate open when I was raking the lawn," said Carlson, a 67-year-old retired paper mill worker. "I just turned around, and she was out. And even a bucket of corn wouldn't entice her to come back."
The llama doesn't have a name.
"That's probably why I couldn't call it," Carlson said.
He couldn't catch her either.
"They can run fast," he said.
Grand Rapids police Officer Steve Slinkman helped later as the animal was corralled at the Hobbick home and given hay and water.
Officials called Carlson to see if he was missing a llama. He has two of them as pets.
"I appreciate the help of catching it," Carlson said.
