I was checking the grill yesterday for these creatures. Beau is always up for the hunt. I lifted up the propane tank and a lizard was there. It skedaddled. Then Beau chased it right back under the propane tank. I lifted this up a second time and Beau gave chase. The anole went right up my leg and into my shorts. I took off the shorts and tried to check out the rest of me and shook out the shorts. Saw and felt NOTHING. Put everything back on and hurried into the house to double check. Dumped the shorts in the bedroom and put on a new pair for good measure.

I left the room and went about my business but came back to check the phone charger to see if it had finished powering up the phone. I had wanted to tell a female friend about my adventure via a text as it had gotten me thinking of her. The cell phone was ready but I saw a creature between the blinds on my side of the window.

Grabbed a Publix plastic bag and nabbed the miniature Godzilla after a few tries and put it out on the lanai.

Beau would get his prize.

This is about the fourth time that one of these things has gone up my pants' leg while it was being chased by one of our pooches.

I still do not know where that lizard went while I was taking off various things by the grill and I had not wanted to streak my backyard neighbors by taking everything off.

I had taken my shirt off already as it had been all full of sweat from walking around a dog park, the neighborhood, a Villages' Square or the Polo Field a number of times. So, I had been shirtless when looking over the grill.
