leaping lizards

I'm convinced that Texas is being taken over by tiny little lizards.

Y'all they are everywhere down here.

Am I going to have to start blaming global warming for this lizard population hanging out around my house?

Which by the way they look like the Gieco lizard and I'm afraid one's going to start talking in a British accent and sell me insurance at any moment.

The other day I opened the door to retrieve a UPS package and one came flying in the house.

I screamed.  Then panicked because boy was not home.  This sort of thing usually falls to him.

So I got the next best thing.  Pug.  Although, bless his heart, he is rather useless I do have to give him credit because when it comes to bugs he's a pro at holding them while I run a get something to smash them.  It's the funniest thing!   I go get pug he spots the lizard on the wall and I shoo the lizard down the wall to pug.  Pug corners it.  I grab a shoe and smash it.   We make a good team.

I know I killed it.  I feel terrible.  Boy came home and when I told him he was like "you killed it".  I was like "I panicked it was so scary" and then he's like "you can just pick them up by the tail".  And I'm like "you must not know me very well".

So, I killed my first lizard and it was gross.  This others hanging out around my window better not mess with me and my pug.
