L-L-Lizard

Yesterday, Oliver was doing what he does everyday of his life. He was in Bo's bushes searching for lizards. I told him to get out of the bushes several times, but I was busy scrubbing the house down, and quite frankly, when the highlight of your life is lizard hunting, shouldn't everyone leave you alone?

Oliver caught this really big lizard. Bigger than all other big lizards ever caught by the Hodges boys. And he was a very fiesty lizard. Oliver brought the lizard to me proudly. Jonathan was so excited that he asked to hold it, Oliver handed it over, and then Jonathan panicked a bit and ended up dropping the lizard. Oliver stepped back as Jonathan attempted to catch it. Then Oliver pushed Jonathan aside, pounced and caught the lizard immediately. Highly entertaining.

That lizard was a grayish brown color in the early stages of his Oliver relationship. After dinner, when I really paid attention again, I noticed the lizard was a brilliant green. I said, "Ollie, come here and let me take a picture." Oliver trotted right over, very pleased with the prospect. As I peered through the viewer I decided to tease a bit. "Why don't you let the lizard bite you nose, and it can hang from your nose for the photo." Immediately Oliver put the lizard to his nose saying, "Come on, open your mouth and bite!"

Oliver is marine material.
