Senate Majority Leader Ken Gordon, D-Denver, said the pranksters who stole the 2-foot statue in January have been sending him amusing photographs of the item visiting exotic locales and cavorting with Hollywood celebrities, the Rocky Mountain News reported Monday. Advertisement One of the photos features the statue in London, while another depicts the prairie dog being held by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie -- an apparent work of photo manipulation. A photograph that arrived Feb. 6 -- the lawmaker's 58th birthday -- depicts the statute with a bottle of champagne and a caption reading: "Happy birthday, Senator Gordon!" and signed by "P-Dog," the moniker the thief has apparently bestowed upon the statue. "I love this," Gordon said. "It's been great fun."
