True Love
I had acquired a reputation as a snake wrangler in my neighborhood. One day a neighbor knocked on the door and told me that there was a three foot Iguana in his back yard. More like two, but I caught it.
My wife had only 2 things to say-I'm not sleeping in the same house with that thing and you're not keeping it. When I let it loose the next day, she jumped up on a chair and screemed:"Don't let it get my feet! "
Two days later it was talking a nap on my chest and she realized that this lizard could be petted and it wasn't going to hurt anyone, she fell in love with it.
This lizard cracked me up twice. The first time was when it found a feather and I tried to take it away. I never saw that lizard move so fast before or after. The second was when I had a bag of dog food in the kitchen that had a small circle on the front of a picture of what the food looked like. While we fed it a commercially made Iguana food it loved to raid the dog food bowl.So here was this knucklehead trying to eat the food in that circle.
Anyway that little booger was part of our family for several years and when it died my wife's cat gently laid a paw on it as it went.
