Noelle caught a lizard on the front porch last week and asked if we could keep it for a few days.  We read up on how to take care of a lizard and ended up having a pet lizard for the week named Karley (name and spelling by Noelle).

Noelle took her out to play every day.  I know this must seem strange to those of you who mostly see the fancy side of Noelle on the blog, but she’s a big time animal lover; ALL animals that is, you name it, she loves it!  She bragged on Karley all week, telling me how adorable she was, and comments like, isn’t she cute!?!  All I could do was put myself in Noelle’s sweet little head and say, oh yes, of course she is, although I am the opposite of an animal lover.  I love watching her with animals.  It’s so cool!

Noelle helped her little sisters enjoy Karlely too!  She taught them the rules of handling a lizard and how to keep it calm and not scared!

 

We found a very special spot in our yard Karley would be safe in the bushes from the lawn mower.  She lots her tail when Noelle caught her, but other than that, I hope she had fun hanging out with us for a few days!  Thank God we kept her alive!

*Since our positive experience with gentle Karley last week, Noelle’s gained courage and caught lots of lizards for she and her sisters to play with, but I will say, the green ones are mean!  They are the biters and even jumpers (powerful hind legs).  It’s fun having so many geckos around the yard for the girls to play with and learn from, but I will die if one gets loose, or even worse, lost in our house!  So far so good!
