The Iguana Hunter Did it Again...






So I notice Oreo has something. How he got, I don't know. So I go outside to see if it's still alive. Now, mind you I have Adrian in my arms. So I'm sneaking up on this thing, like it's gonna get me. So a few mins. later Marsel comes in the house with his friend Aries. I asked if he would go see if it was still alive. Conclusion: dead. So he said he would get rid of it. He went inside and got the rubber gloves. He checked it out a little. He touched its little spiky things on its back, and said it felt rubbery. I said to him, honey you have on rubber gloves, it's gonna feel like rubber.
So he tells Aries to get the front, and he'll get the back. He's already holding it. Aries told him he wasn't picking up the head. So Marsel did it himself. He picked it up by the tail and started to swing it like it was a discus. Again, I'm standing there with Adrian in my arms. I had to tell him to cool it a min. I moved back, just in case he let go at the wrong time. I could just imagine him throwing this thing and it hitting me, like a ton of nasty bricks. Poor Adrian would have a heart attack, because I would have a heart attack. Adrian, by the way thought all of this was funny. Laughing at the boys. As for Oreo, he had to watch from the window as his treasure sunk to the bottom of the canal. (I'm just glad he didn't try to bring it into the house like he did with a duck once before.)
I'm still a little apprehensive about receiving kisses from Oreo. Iguana breath.

LOL, I laughed about the rubber gloves and him saying that iguana felt rubbery. : )
That's a different kind of wildlife that what we tend with. Do you guys find them around the place often?

Scott, their all over the place! Mainly close to water.
They don't come into the yard too much b/c it's fenced in. But they will lay on top of the fence to sun. And then their fair game for Oreo.

I love the look in the first picture and the stance in the 4th picture! What a great post this was! It reminds me how different our day-to-day is from yours. :)
No Iguana catching going on out in Cali! :)
