Another Casualty


It seems Chanel has been aiding the children in their search for another pet. I think it's a sign that she's tired of being dressed up as a princess, carried around like a baby, shut in boxes, locked in closets, and pinned down under arm and covers at bedtime. At the time I found it, I did think it strange that a gecko happened to be stretched out on the floor outside the girls' bedrooms. But we've had plenty of birds find their way into the house, why not a gecko?

While it did find its way in, it likely did not enter on its own accord. Yesterday Ryan and Braden caught Chanel coming through the dog door with a large new recruit. She came in and dumped it on the carpet. All I can say is thank goodness I wasn't the one home!

Braden enlisted it right away and introduced it into his reptile habitat. Unfortunately, by the next morning the little girls were reporting that the lizard was very tired and had been sleeping all morning.

Better luck next time Chanel!
