Even in the summer? You are right, we don't have deer where I live, but there are many in the mountains north of here. It is wonderful to 'see' you! It has been a very long time! I am glad to read you are studying. And your housing situation sounds good, too. I'm also happy that the hypnosis is working for you; that's wonderful. I really appreciate your news, I think about you often! And speaking of that, I check your blog every few weeks to see if you are there---and I see the picture of Muscade. I'm sad it was her time to leave this life. From her picture, and what you wrote about her, I can see she was a lovely dog, and I know you cared for her. Perhaps when you are settled in your new place, and have started your studies, you will find time to blog once in a while? Take care my dear Colourful one. I miss you! :) No lizards near Montréal, CV? Even in the summer? You are right, we don’t have deer where I live, but there are many in the mountains north of here.

(I wish the little reptiles would at least pay some rent!) :) Oooh, I'd love to see slides of Brooklyn Prairie Dogs. I believe they are different than our desert ones. We have the Sonoran Desert Museum which has a similar environment where you can watch them at eye level. Makes all the difference, as they can move quickly. I will post about them soon, because I recently came across some info. about their communication system. Wow, <strong>shoreacres</strong>, that IS a lot to take on! I admire you greatly. I am more likely to call the animal rescue service than try to do something like that on my own. We have a great, humane service here. They do their best to patch up the injured critters, and then re-introduce them to their habitat if possible. If not, there is a wonderful refuge where they can live out their lives. Your squirrel sounds lovely; you must really miss him! Letterman? I'm not sure what that's saying about either squirrels or Letterman, but I'm enjoying the thought either way. :D And you had a Prairie Dog inside! {Is that a Prairie Dog in your sofa, or are you just glad to see me?...} oops, sorry about that. I have a lot to say about Prairie Dogs, actually, so I shall post. Thank you! :) They are excellent listeners, <strong>IJ,</strong> and it sounds as if you made friends with a nice one! :) I am quite chagrined when I examine that fact. :neutral: I <em>do</em> send greeting cards for birthdays and holidays to my F&F, and I <em>handwrite</em> a note on those! Does that count? :? Otherwise, it's emails and ecards all the way, baby! ;) I did too, ella, until my new residents caused me to dig deeper.

Not everyone likes cold-blooded creatures. ;) The good thing is, unless provoked, they are rather libertarian---they'll leave you alone if you leave them alone. :) No, Prairie Dogs aren't really dogs, and I don't live on a prairie! I'll have to do a post about them; they are quite fascinating and intelligent. I was in Paris years ago, when my family toured western Europe. Want to go again! Haha! Splendid, indeed! Here's a case where I'm happy to use that word! You had iguanas, <strong>Shane</strong>? That must have been fun. It takes a bit of patience to talk to them and get to know them. Well, I actually {confesses} *have* a camera, but, it seems I have to *point it at things and click* in order to get pictures---imagine! I'm kind of intimidated by excellent photographers such as yourself. I appreciate the interest; thank you! That family was moving pretty quickly; I'd have to shoot video of them. :) I do too, <strong>B0bby</strong>! :) I didn't know what sloworms were, so I watched a YouTube slideshow of them. They look like their name! :? Yes, frolicking! It's been so hot lately (see my response to <em>seeing</em>, below) that they must have felt refreshed and spunky in the rain! Ah, the last outpost of TMI-ness may be here. :razz: I'm sure you mean "Yikes!" in the best possible way, <strong>seeing</strong>! ;) It's been pretty darned warm lately. It hovers around 106 (41-42C) in the afternoons. That's normal for July, though. We just tell ourselves that the spring and fall weather make it all worthwhile! :) sulz, yeah I knew lizards are not your favorite.

When I was in Phoenix and strolled the nature garden at the resort, I was greeted by the same (I think) guy every morning and we would chat about our plans. I am shocked SHOCKED!!! and appalled that you haven't written a letter for so many years. I love sending goofy letters and cards. Which is why Hallmark loves me, I guess.

First, the rescued baby squirrel whose joined me when his family died. (Don't take this on until you're willing to feed every two hours for a while, and have an equally committed friend. Nature knew what she was doing when she arranged for two parents.) The squirrel, who adored orange popsicles and Letterman, died after 8 years - cardiac myopathy. Don't ask the cost of knowing that particular fact. Grieved so much for the squirrel a friend showed up with a prairie dog. You learn a lot, fast. If you ever lose a prairie dog for a couple of days, look in the sofa. Sofa's are great for burrowing ;-) Wonderful post - would love to hear about your prairie dogs!

I thought all lizards hatched. Prairie dogs are cute as can be. I photographed some several years ago at the Brooklyn Zoo, where there environment is built so that we're pretty much eye level with them. If they weren't slides, I'd send you one!

Around here, we only have sloworms and viviparous lizards, and never in our garden! I've certainly never seen lizards frolicking before. They sound fun. And you did the meme! :) I enjoyed that. #5 and #16 made me smile. There are places on the Internet where the concept of TMI still exists? :P I like lizards. :) You have such interesting wildlife where you live.

I think lizards are neat creatures. We had a few iguanas when we were kids. I had no idea though that lizards would sometimes live in groups because I don't think I've ever seen more than one at a time. I had just assumed after they hatched they were just loners throughout their lives. We have to get you a camera Muse! Would love to see some of the things you write about, especially the Simpson family! :) That’s too cool! I think lizards are neat creatures. We had a few iguanas when we were kids.
