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.

We added two rock beds to our yard last year, along the fence line where we like to run. You have answered Mom's question about what Misty was always looking for in those rocks:)
Hope the snooter heals quickly.

I would freak out if I see one I know who to call.
OMD, we are big fans of the lizards here! They always startle Ma though...she's afraid they are spiders, then she realizes that the movement is a lizard, and she's all awwwwww
They are just too fast for me too....I try and try though! BOL!!!
So gurls, I thinks maybe a break from the lizard huntin' is a good thingie....once there is blood-let, maybe a new strategy is in order ☺
Kisses,

we don't have them here, but once we saw one in da south... but it was too fast to became our afternoon snack ;O)
That looks like lots of fun to me! I wish I had lizards in my yard! I"m sending you lots of healing vibes, Mackey.
We get little skinks that skitter across the brick wall; but so far they are too quick to catch...no matter how much the dogs try. Hope Mackey's war wounds heal quickly.
Thatcher chases chipmunks into the stone wall, and chases squirrels up trees. It's very entertaining to watch him to try to leap up trees after his prey. He's never been successful,but hope springs eternal in a little dog's heart. I'm glad Syd and Mackey have good hunting weather; we've had one day of sunshine this week, yesterday, and the rest of the week is not looking too hopeful.
