The Misadventures of The Iguana Hunter and The Sniffer

Tired now.

Oreo checking out his yard.

The "Iguana Hunter".

And "The Sniffer".

Kate came over this afternoon. We decided we were going to order lunch. While Kate was on the phone ordering, I let Krypto and Oreo outside. (A little back round, we live on a canal and there are quite a few iguanas. They like to come out and sun themselves. Sometimes they will even lay out on the top of the fence.) So, anyway, I let them out. They went racing out the screen door. This is normal. They're always on a secret mission. I was bent over picking some paper up off the porch. I didn't think much of it. Then I heard Oreo hit the fence. Again, not out of the ordinary. Ducks will sit on the fence. When Oreo jumps up, they take off flying. I didn't bother to look up until I realized that Oreo caught whatever he was after. Still thinking it was a duck, I took off running and yelling the whole way. All I can say is thank goodness it was the afternoon and not the morning, cause I was bellowing.

Kate was in the middle of our order. She said she paused and the lady on the phone asked her twice do want anything else. She told her she'd have to call back. She said she could hear the panic in my voice. I really don't want him killing anything. Unless it's a roach. Hate those things!

So back to the iguana. Before I could get to him, he had already slung it to the ground and picked it back up twice. The iguana was laying on it's back, shocked. I had to grab Oreo twice before I got him inside. Kate comes out, like "What the hell?" She took Oreo and I went back for Krypto. Krypto just standing there sniffing the iguana.

I had to open the gate to help it get out. Usually they swim pretty fast. Not this one. I was afraid his was gonna bite it right in the middle of the canal. But he made it to the other side. Not sure if he'll make it, but I know he won't come back to sun here. And I'm sure he warned the rest of them to stay away from our yard.
