This time of year, Sunday evening walks are a must.
Last week, we came across a snake.
And this week, we found a new pet.
Leo.
Jake could not be more excited.
He even called Peter.
Poor Leo made the tragic mistake of running into our garage just as we opened it.
So Jake scooped him right up and made this fabulous home for him.
Pretty sure this lizard's a gecko.
We hope it's not poisonous.
And we hope it's legal, moral and ethical to capture a wild lizard and keep it for a pet....
because honestly, look at those faces.
And even though this guy makes me terribly squeamish, I have the best childhood memories of afternoons spent in the field behind our house catching lizards with Mark and Ryan Mehler.
So that little part of me gets it.
PetSmart crickets, here we come.
