Hunter

Well I didn't think this was something I would ever be able to say on my accomplishments or resume

But...

I am officially a "Gecko" hunter or maybe that would be "Gecko" savior.

Anyhow...

I have seen several of them outside on the house but NEVER one inside my house and as I was talking to my friend, Joyce, I spied one by the sliding glass door. So...I unlocked it thinking he/she might scoot out...

No...

It just ran to another sliding glass door. What...you little idiot...I am trying to save your life before the red doxie sniffs you out and thinks you are a play toy.

This is even the color this little bugger looked like as he/she ran around my living room while I tried to think of a way to capture it and distract my two pups. Which by the way they were constantly following me around wondering "why" their momma was acting strange and opening doors that never get opened.

I had to find something to contain it without the possibility of escape or I would have screamed and mostly like dribbled in my drawers.

This is where my new and trusty umbrella stand came in handy.

Got the stinker...

Now to move it across the carpet without the possibility of the bucket ever so slightly lifting up. Not an easy task.

Got over to the sliding door....

Ok...now to get it up over the tracks of the sliding glass door without the Gecko going in reverse and running back into the house because there would have been sure death as my doxie pups were watching the whole time wondering what momma had in that container she was sliding.

Pray...

Lift...

It jumped on the track and I took the umbrella bucket and nudged it enough that it took off across the deck to far off lands of the great outdoors...Yeah...no Gecko funeral today.
