Leonard and Linus or maybe just Leonard

So about a week ago Cliff and I came home and I thought I saw a something on the floor by our kitchen table. I asked him if I saw a leaf, (my eyes aren't very good even with my glasses,) or if there was a lizard in our house. Sure enough, it was a little brown anole. I got really excited about it because the day before there was a ginormous spider on my counter... Those of you that know me well know that I don't care for spiders. I actually had to call a friend to come over and kill it. I stayed in a corner in my kitchen for 45 min because I wouldn't go near the thing - but that's another story.... Lizards... I like lizards - a lot actually. Lizards are fun and mostly clean I think and they eat spiders! Leonard (as we named him) was a welcome addition to the family right from the start. He seemed to make a home out of our water heater closet and would peek through the blinds every now and then. He even seemed to like music as he would come all the way out of the closet any time we put on a cd and especially when we sang along. A few days later, however, Cliff was on his way out the door when we saw a lizard by the laundry room door. It looked a little bigger than Leonard but we couldn't be sure. We decided to give it a day or so and see if we could spot Leonard in his area and this potentially new lizard in its area around the same time. I managed to get a pretty good picture of the one in the laundry room and I definitely think it was bigger so I have named him Linus for now. He seems a little more skittish than Leonard. He doesn't venture out much and if I steal a peek and him he will run for cover. Leonard on the other hand... is quite the little adventurer. I opened the dishwasher tonight to put a dish away and ... YIKES! he was in the dishwasher? I'll admit I was a little startled but that soon gave way to satisfaction and I pondered all of the bugs that would soon be in his blessed little stomach and NOT in my kitchen :)
