LEAPIN' LIZARD TRIPPIN'
CRITTER ON THE LOOSE
Woof, kids!
Guess you saw the awesome digs for a certain set of Texas dawgs, huh? Well, good for them, but I'm kinda in the dog house, er, dog-condo at the moment.
I want to hear back from you kids if you think Moolie is being a little harsh with this small Diva-Dog.
Okay, it's really so simple. Um, I brought a lizard into the condo last night. Whoa, before you go all rabid on me and start howling like a mad-dog...let me assure you that it was ever so small. Tiny. Teeny. Hardly even counted.
Man, I had it going on. My peeps and I were out walking the sidewalks last night and I grabbed this little guy and just held him, ever so gently in my mouth. I, unobtrusively, hopped on the elevator, zipped in the door and bam...here we were, Leapin' and I, inside the condo. Presto, I released him, right on the rug under the dining table...Moolie was in the kitchen and Gaz was standing by me. Chaos erupted all over that 10th floor square footage as it scooted away and out of sight. Okay, only Moolie was majorly TRIPPIN', but it SEEMED like absolute chaos. Quickly enough though, she hit the balcony and stayed there.
Fortunately, for me, Gaz understands the whole CKCS hunting mode-thing. Besides, he's the one who taught me everything I know about the hunt of tiny-'tiles. Moolie...definitely NOT. Oh, no! My tail was between my legs the entire evening as Moolie was a wreck, like I had committed some major offense against humanity.
Daddy Warbucks, er, Gaz, remained calm and just searched for the creature, knowing we'd be bound for a hotel if Leapin' Lizard wasn't found and pronto.
Took him some time, but we are currently in a lizard free zone. Man, I was planning an entire late evening romp of lizard antics. Bummer.
Oh, now I'm screened before entering the building...they're suddenly acting all TSA on me. Tell me you agree with me and that you'd do the same thing if you were in my paws. Seriously, what's the harm of hangin' with a liz-kid in the comfort of your condo?

From Peter In Dallas - I found out last night that dogs make terrible poker players. Whenever they have a good hand, they wag their tails.
Thanks for letting me post that nugget, Peter, and I think Moolie should make a sampler of that quote. Wait...a painting, um, video...yes! Dogs Playing Cards And Wagging Their Tails....
You have to give Diva props for her humane treatment of her little scaly-skinned buds in the condo hood. One time when she was cavorting with the reptile residents in the park, she got awfully still and quiet. Upon inspection, there was a tail hanging out one side of her mouth, and a head out the other. I thought that little guy was a goner. Nope. As I coaxed Diva to open wide, Leapin' Larry the Lizard dropped to the pavement and beat four feet outta there. When it comes to the Diva, you have to do your bird imitation -- watch her like a hawk!

I'd agree that The Diva DEFINITELY deserves props on her humane treatment of lizards, maybe she can teach a young pup around my house! Duke seems to think everything that moves deserves to be chomped on...spiders, grasshoppers, you name it and it's a goner. I will have to agree with the K9 mom of the house though, if it moves, keep it out of the house...us two-legged kind don't like critters of any kind. I'm just glad to know that the critter cleanup at The Diva's house is left to the man of the house too...and I'm sure Trapper will be ecstatic to know that he's not the only guy flying solo on critter duty!

Well, thanks for the props, Sabrina, but, I have to say that I am a teeny bit disappointed in this response. I mean I have to side with Duke here. ANYTHING that moves should be messed with. Now, I'm not saying get all drastic...just a little torment, you know? Also, you have to be kidding me that you are against bringing these guys inside. Come ON!! We bring them in, they hide, they come out later and we romp and stomp all over the casa. They hide again....you get the idea. Now, seriously, what is wrong with that? Okay, I will admit it could get dicey if they come out at the wrong time and scare people, but that's just one TINY glitch in my scheme. Think it over, 'kay?
