Speedy :]

Okay.. If you know my boyfriend at all, you know he loves his animals, especially reptiles! I guess you could say it kind of grew on me and I don't mind them now myself, either...

There are wild lizards here that just run everywhere.. They must have sticky things on their feet because they can run up and down the outside of the monastery!


I walked into my bathroom the other day and there was one in there! Well.. hahaha. the walls in the bathroom are smooth and he could not climb up them. So I had him trapped in a corner! :) :) Well I ended up catching him. Now, you have to understand these things are.. FAST! Like, really fast. So I was trying to be extra careful walking back into my room with him because I scared him the one time and he started running. I dropped him and he ran under a door.. Now I had to chase him and catch him again! No worries, I did! Jim gave me a shoe box so I could keep him in. I wanted to name him "fast" in french... but fast is rapide, and I thought that would just be silly. Teddy and Jim wanted to name him Pedro or something, I didn't like that either. So I stuck with Speedy. Well Speedy could climb the sides of the shoebox, so... I had him in Teddy's room and sure enough he got out. Uh oh! Well Teddy trapped him under his hands, I brought the shoebox over and we caught him! Thennnn, I had him on my desk and was trying to call my mom and he got out again! Well I got the shoebox and caught him myself. Then it was time to set the table because we were having guests over. So I put him in the shoebox with a piece of toilet paper to give him something to play with and put him in the corner of the bathroom & shut the door... I came back up after setting the table... & Speedy was gone. I looked and looked and looked, I couldn't find him anywhere. Janie, Tim's girlfriend, was nervous because he was in our bathroom!! Oh well.. I think Speedy is gone now and is living his own life :) Here are a few pictures I got of him, while I had him.. :) :)



Au Revoir Speedy <3
