Farewell to Spots...My Cousin
I am not sure how many of my fellow fans are aware of the amount and type of cousins that I presently have. I must say that since this time last week that count is down by one. My human's younger sister...the one with the smelly feet...graciously opens up her home to an unaccountable number of green anoles who reside in a lovely terrarium that is a little higher than the tip of my nose if I were to balance precariously on my back legs.
Sadly, I learned a few weeks ago that my buddy Spots was doing poorly and the humans were hoping that her misery would end sooner rather than later. Apparently, she was becoming gray and breathing very heavily. But, I remain hopeful that Spots has not actually departed from this world and actually has been revived to some shade of her normal self and is living happily among the warm, green blades of grass that are starting to poke prematurely for the soil.
Last week - was it Friday - Spots' owners threw her out with the trash. Yep! "So long Spot!" they yelled as they tossed her on top of their breakfast remains and wished her a safe bon voyage to the lovely afterworld of lizards where all lizards must go once thier scales hasve diminished on this so-called place referred to as earth.
Can you believe the nerve of these humans? The audacity?
I quickly forgot my contempt for them yesterday when Smelly Feet gave me extra treats...I guess she was feeling a little guilty after all.
