A llama for your mama...

LONDON (Reuters) - Stuck for romantic inspiration with Valentine's Day just a week away?
Then consider llamas.
A charity with the slogan "get calmer with a llama" is offering romantic country strolls for the lovelorn, leading a llama together around the picturesque Lake District in northwestern England.
"Chatting over a llama is certainly a novel way to meet people in a relaxed environment, and participants can enjoy a romantic picnic afterwards -- carried by the ever obliging llamas in their backpacks," said owner Mary Walker.
Walker, whose Lakeland Llamas charity helps the disabled, is keen to assure lonely hearts that contrary to their bad press, the South American relatives of the camel do not habitually spit at or bite people but are in fact friendly and docile.

No Valentine Date? Consider a llama....
Inside each person lives two wolves. One is loyal, kind, respectful, humble and open to the mystery of life. The other is greedy, jealous, hateful, afraid and blind to the wonders of life. They are in battle for your spirit. The one who wins is the one you feed.
Yes - they do habitually spit at people. Growing up my neighbor across the road had llamas, and of course they were a source of facination for my brother, sister, friends and I. We could go over and visit the llamas whenever we wanted, and could pet and brush them too. And the hell if they don't spit at people. Whenever they were frightened or angry.
But back on topic, it's a novel concept. I wonder if anyone will go for it.
