I was dashing down the hall to Rob's and my bedroom, when I noticed that
Sonya, Merlin, and Pine Cone were sitting in a loose triangle pattern at the
area where the hall turns 90% to the right. This is the short section of
the hall and has the doors to the main bathroom, Laundry closet, and, at the
end, Mandy's bedroom. It is also the place where all the laundry tends to
get tossed. I tell the three to get out of my way and I see it. A small,
though not too small, dark looking piece of vermin dashing toward the
bathroom door. Sonya is right beside it. It looks like a good sized mouse.
I let out a bellow for assistance, then dash into the master bathroom.

I come out after using the facilities and Mandy informs me that it isn't a
mouse like I'd bee shrieking. It was another Lizard. It seems that it is
currently lizard season. Sonya the intrepid hunter had bagged her limit and
was showing a live specimen to the boys. Mandy took the lizard and put him
back into the back yard. I am sitting here, still telling myself that at
least it isn't rabbit season. I really hate rabbit season. Almost as much
as duck season.

I am fairly sure the cats have mortally wounded a mouse, and it's
died somewhere. There is a horrific odor that's in the living room and
I can't
find the source. It's definitely eau de dead-something.
Lizard season comes later for us, I guess. Haven't seen any yet. (I
think what we have here they call "skinks". I always thought they were
just lizards.)
I know that "loose triangle formation." First time I saw it, I thought
it looked like
they were having a meeting, LOL. Turned out to be a mouse.

===============

ICK. I know that smell. Almost worse than the I missed the litter box
smell. I think they were in a meeting.

Sonya: Ok, I caught it. What are you doing to do about it?

Pine Cone: We could use it for target practice?

Merlin: ICK!!!

Sonya: Not my lizard!!

Pine Cone: Watch out, here comes the fat wench.

Merlin: Must you call her that? She calls me fat now instead of fluffy.

(Fat Wench shrieks loudly) OH MY GOD!!!!! MOUSE! MOUSE! GET RID OF IT!

Pine Cone: Well that was fun while it lasted. Maybe you should get a skink
the next time instead of an alligator lizard.

Sonya: (watching the fat wench disappear into the master bedroom) I don't
think that will do any good. Excitable isn't she?

ROFL. Lizard/chamilian (sp) season is all year in south FL and yes,
the
cats are like "pointer" dogs showing their prey to their slaves. I was
never
afraid of or disliked lizards and would swoop in, get a grip on, and
toss out
the door into the Great Beyond, to live another day. Much funnier was
when
I was walking the Akita in my backyard and the two of us encountered
one or
more of our "family" of iguanas....screams from me (these were healthy
FL
iguanas, size of small dogs!) and full retreat mode, dragging the
Akita behind
by his leash (he was all for "full speed ahead! Damn the iguanas!")
while the
iguanas took to the two huge trees back there for safety from the
intruders.
AFAIK the iguanas are still living happily back there and not missing
us a bit.

I don't care what they catch, or even what they eat as long as ;
1 It doesn't get placed under a rug for later consumption.
2 they don't hurke it up where I will surely step on it, and
3 they keep it alive and play with it for hours.
