I picked up a cute hitchhiker....

**beeniesmom** · 04-02-2009, 02:12 PM

I was going to run errands when I saw this guy hanging on my car.

I figured he'd jump off once I slammed the car door or once the car started... and off we went.

To the post office ....

To the dry cleaners ....

To the grocery store ....

and back home..... he was still there!!!

I was driving pretty fast too and it's windy today.
I checked and thought maybe he was stuck but he's not.
He moved to a new spot when I got closer.

He's just hanging out.

PS: Someone please comment on our cute dog of the day.

No, just went and took a quick look. He's gone.
I can imagine when he goes home to his lizard buddies.....

You guys will NEVER believe what happened to me today....

LOL

I'm glad he didn't fall off in traffic.

Maybe he heard about the bat that hitched a ride on the space shuttle!

At least this guy survived the trip!

**snowbelle15** · 04-02-2009, 05:19 PM

What a cutie! Looks like had had a fun day sight-seeing from your car.

**M&M's Mommy** · 04-02-2009, 05:50 PM

Eww.. I don't do very well with bugs and lizards..

**MonicanHonda** · 04-02-2009, 06:03 PM

That's a cool looking lizard! Lol

What is that, Carmen? (Is it really a lizard, or are you all having me on?) And how the heck did it get up onto your car? And however did it stay there after you were in motion? I had a ladybug on my windshield when I left work the other day and I actually got a piece of paper (thank goodness for ATM receipts!), lifted it off my windshield and put it in the grass before I went home.

I can't believe he made it back to your house!! I can't count the times I've left and had lizards on the car windshield. It makes me go crazy when I see them because I know they're going to blow away. Sadly, I don't think I've ever returned with one still hanging on.

Carmen, this is an amazing story!!

Elyse: In Florida, we have tons of those lizards. They're everywhere. This time of the year, they take over my yard. All colors and varieties. I see them everywhere. I have two or three I've named. They are the ones that are always in the same place and they're not really scared of me. I talk to them.

Aren't they cute?

Carmen, do you have alot of cameleons in your area? We used to have them everywhere but I only see a few these days. It's been like that for about 5 years now. I wonder what happened to them. I think maybe it's inbreeding.

I swear it was a real lizard! It climbed on the car. They can climb anywhere. I didn't bother to shoo it away because they always leave when I start the car or close the door.

I can't believe he made it either. Yes, we have a milion kinds of lizards in north east florida but no, I've never seen a chameleon (how neat!).

We are having a LOT of little tree frogs too. Every evening they hop on the porch and wait for the bugs to come toward the glass (because the lights are on inside).

PS: I just realized this thread should have gone in general... not dog general. Sorry!
