Introducing......Spike!

Wow!  We had quite a bit of rainfall here last night!  When The Husband checked the rain gauge this morning, it showed FOUR INCHES!  Our local official totals indicate that yesterday set a record for recorded rainfall for that date.  There was no working in the garden today, that's for sure.

As I mentioned in the last post, we were able to spend some time with the Munchkins this week-end.  Our grandson is 8 1/2, and he has quite an interest in wildlife.  So much so that he used his birthday money a couple of years ago to purchase a Bearded Dragon Lizard!

                               Introducing Spike!

 The light in Spike's cage is for warmth, and he enjoys this position most of the time.  He is quite alert to what is going on around him, and really responded to movement and our voices.  Munchkin will take him out of the cage and carry him around for a bit, and Spike seems to enjoy that. 

I hope you are able to see him in this picture.  My camera just doesn't do well when it is facing into that much light, but this was the only view I was able to photograph. 

Now, this is probably more than some of you may have wanted to know about reptiles.:-)  Spike is not the only "resident reptile," and the following picture will introduce you to another.

Introducing Pebbles!

Pebbles is a Leopard Gecko and was a gift a few years ago.  There is no light in his cage because he is nocturnal and sleeps during the day.  He wasn't very responsive during his sleeping time.:-)

Little Munchkin and I kept these pets company by playing with Barbies and building castles.:-)

Thank you so much for following along.  I enjoy reading your comments.
