If you have heard me talk about George, I am really worried about him. I can’t believe a little lizard would grab my heart. George is a green anole that Banana Bob won from the Washington County Fair last year. It was one of those throw a ball in the barrel which I have never been able to do. Well, her SECOND ball, went right in! She could pick a hermit crab, which I have never had one of those or a lizard. She went with the lizard and quickly named it George.
So, here is mama trying to figure out how/what I am going to do to keep George. Also, we aren’t allowed pets, so don’t tell my landlord. Somehow we have kept him alive, but he just hasn’t been acting right. He’s very lethargic and looking more like a dinosaur. And the weird thing is he was eating so good and now, it’s like he doesn’t want anything. I will sit there and watch him (and the crickets) and even the other night, he was just hanging from a leaf with a cricket on his head. He didn’t even care.
I have learned that this type of lizard typically doesn’t live long, but I really like this little guy. I hope he gets better soon. I have prepared Banana for the worst and she cried for a hot minute and then said, can we bury him in the backyard and make a marker for him. We sure can.
I’ll let you know when the services are 🙁
