Wow - I had a llama killed in a lightning strike about 8 years ago - another about 100 yards away took a sympathetic hit from the fencing, and we noticed she wasn't acting right a couple of days later. When the vet came out to check her on the fourth day, he shook his head in total disbelief - she was "the walking dead" and just didn't know it yet. Nothing we could do about it. she was in no pain - and just "fell over" on the 6th day. A week I won't forget for a long time.

Huh? Walking dead and just didn't know it? I realize llamas aren't the brightest creatures, but what's that mean?

Hope you prevented it from registering itself Democrat in the meantime.

Holy crap! How did the vet explain the "walking dead" part?

I had a pygmy goat killed by lightning late one night. Knowing the coming day would be a scorcher, I stayed up til first light to bury him. He had been flash-fried in the standing position, though he fell over afterwards. (Sorry for the gross visual.) I had to wrap him in plastic and weigh down the legs with bricks. (Again, so sorry for the visual.) Lightning is a funny thing. Part of the same charge ran up into the house. Lightbulbs on the same circuit popped, except for the ones already turned on.

I hope this kitty makes it OK with his missing nose.

If I had a dollar for every time I heard that phrase...
