THE gecko

I don't remember if I have posted at all about our pet Gecko. But here is the story:
During one of our trips to G&G Spendloves, Ethan caught a lizard and we brought it home with us. He wanted to keep it "forever" so off to Petco we went looking for lizard necessities. The Petco worker that helped us, kindly suggested that we let the lizard go back to the wild and tried to sell us another kind of reptile. Then told us that she had a Pictus Gecko that she was needing to find a good home for. It just so happens that she was a member of our church and I actually visit teach her sister. Small World! She was a college student and was getting ready to move to San Diego and had to get rid of a "few" of her pets. So after a few lengthy emails full of instructions and details about her gecko, we made arrangements for to bring it to our house and show us how to take care of it. We actually had to wait a good month for this to finally happen. Ethan was a little impatient.
Well, now we have a pet Gecko. We have a Gecko that does nothing. The only exciting thing he does is shed his skin every so often. It is not as exciting as Ethan had hoped for. But hey it is a pet and this was way before we got our puppy, Duke.


The poor thing doesn't even have a name.
