An unexpected houseguest (pic)
At least I now know why Lucy is so fascinated with that corner of the room...

1. My dear Prisoner_Number_Six!
Well, now, that's cool!

I might jump a bit if a lizard entered my home, but in yours? No problem!

I shouldn't be surprised, but I am!

After all, it's Texas. Home to many such beasts!

I hope Lucy catches him/her!


Happy Sunday!

:hi:



I hope you're feeling better today, too, sweetie...:hug:

3. A week ago they drained my knee
Today all the swelling is back. But that's okay- my other knee hurts just as much. So the only real problem I have is deciding which leg to limp on when I walk. Decisions.... :evilgrin:

10. I haven't noticed a single cobweb
...since I've had a couple of the little bastards hanging around.

Crickets seem to be too big of a challenge for them, though. My dog who passed away last year loved to eat crickets. I miss her for that and other reasons.

I occasionally have to chase them around my apartment and trap them under a tumbler, lest my cats use them for cat toys. :o

11. When I first moved to Florida
I had a huge cockroach problem. I worked on that a while and noticed (I wasn't home a lot) that I had some geckos infiltrating. Where I come from (Colorado) any vermin is unwanted, so I freaked. But a friend told me to give it a couple weeks.

Sure enough, I let the gecko run amok, the roaches disappeared, and I kind of grew to like the little guy.

Here's to the cold-blooded!

:toast:
