The Long family zoo

Lizzy was transported home in a large glass
Last week Mackenzie and Kaleb were out looking for bugs when they happened upon a lizard. My sister's and I have grown up trying to trap one of these darty fellows and only one time was Nikki able to catch one so I was pretty surprised to hear that Mack had managed to grab this one.
Mack and Lizzy

With each trip to Petsmart, Mack looks longingly at the bearded dragons, geckos, and lizards. The catching of the lizard was funny timing because Mike and I were thinking of getting Mack a gift because, over the last year, she's been such a great big sister and wonderful helper. So it was decided that the lizard fit the description and off went Mike and Mack to get the things " Lizzy" ( a great name for a lizard , Mack says) would need while I stayed with a snoozing Mason.

Lizzy has a nice, sweltering home in  Mack's room. She has the occasional company of a curious little boy and a curious cat. Though everything seems perfect for Lizzy, she still hasn't eaten much of the variety of meal worms and crickets we've offered her. If she doesn't eat in the next few days, we'll probably need to let her go back at Gram's house.

Home at last!
