1 brave lizard

Santa left 4 lizards in Gabe's stocking Christmas morning. This is the sole survivor - primarily due to my own vigilance at keeping him alive! The other three have fallen victim to Nali's sharp teeth with Gabe as a guilty accomplice. Denali knows she is not allowed to eat Gabe's toys and is generally very obedient to this rule, however...I can admit that it would be difficult to have Gabe shoving these little delicacies into her mouth on a regular basis without a little chewing here and there! I don't hold Nali blameless, though, since the mangled remains of the first lizard were found between her paws shortly after Christmas. Ever since witnessing such a grisly scene, Gabe has apparently assumed that the lizards should, in fact, be eaten by the dog. Every chance he gets now he is trying to maneuver them into Nali's mouth. Since I'm usually in the room, Denali tries her hardest to evade - it's quite funny to watch! I have reminded Gabe dozens of times that they are his not hers but he never gives up. One day I found the lizards placed millimeters away from a sleeping Denali's muzzle - Gabe's offering of a tasty treat upon awakening! With the way things are going, this poor little guy doesn't stand a chance...
