Guess what everybody, it's lizard season!
We're still getting a lot of rain but the days are warmer and when the sun comes out the lizards come out to sun themselves. Syd and Mackey have been waiting for this.
For days the two spotty girls have been sniffing around the rock pile and trying to move rocks bigger than they are.
Last year Syd caught several lizards. When she finished tossing them around and rolling on them, she left the remains for Mackey. Mack tried her best but was too slow to catch one.
One afternoon last week the first lizard was spotted sunning himself on the warm bricks. Mackey caught it!
Rob tried to rescue the little guy but Mack wasn't giving up her prize. She had waited too long for this victory. Syd wasn't happy that her sister didn't want to share but later that day she caught one of her own.
Now both girls are totally obsessed with lizard hunting. They spend hours in the rocks trying to coax them out of hiding. Rob has been complaining that the two are moving rocks and bricks and he has to put them back in place.
Unfortunately Mackey has bruised her front leg and cut her nose on the rocks so her hunting is suspended for now. She's staying on leash till her injuries heal. She's very into her hunting.
