Leapin' Lizards!

Wow, we just had the most fun...Mommy let us outside and what did our little brown eyes see, but a lizard sun-bathing on the patio! We went NUTS! We raced after it and it ran under the gutter, so then we looked along the rock wall and couldn't find it, then, there it was, right back up on the patio!!! We ran after it, it juked and jived and tried to find a place to hide, but not so fast.....Wait, what's that now? Are there two of them? No, the tail came off!!!!!!!!!!! Mommy was screaming at us to stop and "leave it" (yeah, right!) but we were still going for it. The big part ran off, but the tail was there squirming all over the patio!! It was such fun. We tried so hard to get it but Mommy wouldn't let us. She grabbed us and dragged us inside, all the while saying how gross it was. Then she called daddy and told him about it. She must have been proud of us, that's why she called him. I just don't know why Mom won't let us get it and kill it. Now Riley is downstairs wanting to go out and get the tail, but mom's not letting us out any time soon!
