"The Gift" by Weezilou

"The Gift"

Had to share this "older photo" and you'll see why shortly. Tigger was at the back door yowling in a manner that couldn't be ignored. Looking out to see him, it was a short while before I noticed something on the ground next to him...a small piece of debris...and I leaned down to pick it up. To my amazement, it was a tiny baby lizard on its back! I picked it up and examined it, and though it lay motionless, it had no damage. I set it in a box to see if it might revive...and voila! Tigger must have the gentle mouth of a Retriever as this is not the first lizard he's brought to me, but it was the smallest! Here I photographed it in Ken's hand, and then released it to a rock pile where he might remain safe!

Is that not the cutest little lizard?!! Tigger thought I'd like it... He was so proud of himself!

I'm posting this out-of-sequence photo as I saw one so similar by Mandy @emrob https://365project.org/emrob/365/2017-11-03
"Match Games" are such fun!

That is awesome! I'm so glad you posted this. And he is quite a bit handsomer than my lil' gecko! Too funny - I love match games too! :)

So teeny and cute.
BTW, your link takes us to Mandy's most current photo, not to the lizard.

@taffy strange... I just checked it and it's an 11-03 date... Thanks for mentioning it, Taffy, but I don't see that it's any choice but that one...

Intact indeed. Lucky lizard!
November 6th, 2017  
it's so tiny!! Glad you could save it :)
November 6th, 2017  
Amazing, well done for saving it!
November 6th, 2017  
Oh he is so tiny!! What a sweet present for Tigger to bring you!! So pleased you were able to save him. Most things brought home to me by my cats normally died from shock. I often had to dispose of the bodies!! Lovely!! LOL! Fav!

That is utterly adorable, like a miniature crocodile! Beautiful focus too. Love him.

Similar, but you get the prize for smallness.

Sometimes pets are as bad as little boys who put things in their pockets to bring home for Mom to find when doing the laundry.

@elkereturns I've never actually seen one up here... This one was in my yard in California and it will be mild all winter. We see them sunning themselves on the top of the cinder block walls that's around the yard... So cute!

@Weezilou - I'll take political incorrectness any day of the week! We had girls too.! I know, I have nobody to blame but myself!
November 6th, 2017  
Lucky lizard for sure!
November 6th, 2017

You're right, a lizard is still cute at that size.
November 6th, 2017  
too cute fav

Well I think the star of the show is Tigger. To think he brought you this tiny little creature and didn't injure it. Now that's what I call a soft mouth ....and a soft heart. Way to go Tigger!

Cute little lizard. Great shot with the hand to show it`s size.
November 6th, 2017  
Well done, Tigger, definitely worth a treat. What a cute little critter that lizard is.
