Worms For Breakfast

For the last week we have had a house guest. Her name is Billy-Jean and her parents are on a vacation to Italy. She is very easy to look after and we only have to feed her every other day!

Billy-Jean is a Leopard Gecko and Hunter is in love with her. Tweak, our grey cat, is also in love with her and has been trying to break into the terrarium ever since it arrived so she could have a tasty gecko snack. Thankfully the lid is on tight! Freak, the white cat, approached Billy-Jean on the first night just as Hunter was walking up to the table as well. Freak was so focused on the gecko that when Hunter approached Billy-Jean it scared her so bad she backfliped off the table, hit a chair, and bunny-hopped about three feet in the air over top of Cavan. How I wish the video camera had been on for that.

She will be going home this week and we will miss our little friend. Unfortunately, Matt wasn't as enamoured with her and has ignored the pleas for a lizard of our own.

Beautiful Billy-Jean

Why do I get the feeling that your voice was the loudest in the lizard lottery?

We had a fantastic time with her! Thank you for letting us look after her while you were gone. Hunter has been missing her, so we will definitely come over to visit!
