Well, I haven't been around for awhile but here I am with terrible news. Our special little girl, an eastern European legless lizard, has taken off. Her cage lid was left open all day while we were at work and she went for it. We've spent the last 4 hours combing ever inch of the basement and first floor, but it's hopeless. Our house is over 100 years old and there are several places where we have the walls open or she could get access to the basement and outdoors. We have rolls of carpet and padding piled up in one room, and there are all sorts of pipes and tubes piled in the basement. She can fit under gaps below several of the doors to get into rooms where we are remodeling.
We have had her longer than Hernando. She was our first pet after going many years without any. She was extremely intelligent and had quite a personality, and had bonded with both of us. She was very expressive and manipulative for such a minimalist, with several distinctive, weird habits. We had expected to have her with us for the next 50 years. We got her as a theraputic pet for HernandosPapa, and she served that role well. Now it's all up to Hernando.
I really feel sick about this. It has left a huge hole in our family.
