So much for embracing nature, even from my wide, breezy porch. I sit down to write and a spider crawls up my side. DO NOT WANT.

Try again. Sit on the porch itself, turn around and see my cat after a lizard without a tail. Oh, wait, without a tail NOW - there's the tail, wiggling on the porch. I'm guarding the lizard while two dogs and a cat try to get to it.

The dog picks the wriggling tail up in its mouth, takes it off the porch. She's back in less than a minute, and ugh, we know where THAT went. She noses interestedly around me. Cat still trying to get past me. I build a barricade because I cannot bring myself to pick up the tailless lizard (it might, oh, WRIGGLE. Or wiggle, like a tailless thing. Or a severed tail).

Yeah, maybe I'll try this another day.

I think this is the best story I've read in a long time! :D I used to take care of an iguana at work (and to this day that thing is near the top of the list of best pets EVER!), and one day my co-worker rolled over Iggy's tail with a chair and the rest, plus the tail, is history.

Poor babes. It ain't like in Disney where the critters do chores for you, is it?

Sometimes nature ain't all it's cracked up to be ;)
