Lucky for us, no bloody mess - lucky for you, no photos

On Saturday, June 21st, Brutus was greeting our guests at the front gate when I noticed a large (9 inch) lizard near the house. I told him to get it not thinking that he would actually catch it since he was a good 40-50 feet away happily licking all the people. Well, he caught it.

He caught a ferret once in Utah, and he wouldn't let anyone take it from him for like 3 days. I was very proud of him this time, because he gave it up in exchange for a treat about 5 minutes after he caught it. This worked out much better than the two times in Utah that he insisted on strutting his dead chicken around our living room.

Oh how I miss having dogs.

A lizard would be much nicer than a feathered mess in your family room... good dog!

Good dog! I can honestly say I'd have a dog if we lived in Arizona, just to "save" me from the wild life.
