I Took Her Toy Away
Buffy has lots of toys. Glitter balls, mylar balls, golf balls, mousies
that rattle, soft toys filled with catnip. You get the picture. Today she was playing with something I didn't recognize... turned out to be a dead, dessicated Anole lizard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolina_anole At least it wasn't a live lizard (BTDT), don't want lizards in the house! She got mad at me for throwing it away. Jill |

She told me to offer you a bunch of our sn*w for your lizard. -- Will in New Haven |

I hate to tell you this but it was 75° here yesterday. Jill |

When my job involved talking to librarians in Hawaii, they enjoyed complaining that it hadn't gotten above ninety all day when they _knew_ we were buried in sn*w. -- Will in New Haven |

I know you're teasing but I really do NOT love. People bring up weather, I'm not going to lie about it. I just happen to live in a sort of sub-tropical area in this vast US country. I dealt with occasional ice and snow (for many years, just not this far south and not for about 10 years). I can't help it if there's a blizzard. I'm grateful for not having to deal with snow and ice anymore. However, you can only find Carolina anole lizards in the um, Carolinas. Maybe as far north as West Virginia or Virginia. If you and Squeakytoy want to see those types of lizards you need to move south. Or adopt them as pets. LOL Jill |

I don't love Florida but my brother and I and my friend Micki all want to live together and Micki and Sid outvote me. Squeaky and Samantha Shi-Tzu don't mind. -- Will in New Haven |

And frogs, poisonous according to my neighbors. Don't let your dogs (or cats) try to eat those frogs. But I love the little lizards, and the big ones as well, but mostly those little guys are all over the place. Once in a while one gets in the house and the cats enjoy the company although I try to round them up and get them back outside. |

Once in a while one gets in the house and the cats enjoy the company although I try to round them up and get them back outside. I had a five-lined skink in the house last year. http://srelherp.uga.edu/lizards/eumfas.htm I wondered why the heck Buffy was suddenly so facinated by that box of music CD's. What the heck are you fussing about? I moved the box to see and oh! It's a lizard! It was comical. Buffy and I worked in tandem, she went one way, I went the other, trying to corner that lizard. She wanted a cat toy, I just wanted to put it outside. Neither one of us could catch it. It got away from us and ran into the bedroom. No idea what happened after that. I don't think it died in the house. I likely would have smelled something that died in the bedroom. They are larger than the small anole lizards. So, relating to the poisonous frogs... everyone tells me skinks are poisonous. No, they aren't. They won't bite you, either. But I still don't want them inside my house. Jill |

I think of them as chameleons because of their ability to change color, although they are not true chameleons. They are good little insect-catchers. I enjoy seeing them around, although they would be wise not to come inside this house (with three cats!). Temp is supposed to be in the mid-70s this afternoon. I think Mother Nature isn't sure of the weather right now--some of my azaleas are in bloom. MaryL |

MaryL We've got a cold snap going on right now but I had a riot of azaleas blooming in December and January. They are a particular type of azaelea that bloom twice a year. Gotta time the trimming just right. And yes, those green anoles are cute (even when they're brown and trying to blend in with the woodwork, so to speak). Jill |
