Reason #391 Why I Don’t Own A Cat
PJStar: “A Peoria man suffered minor burns in a house fire Thursday morning after his cat accidentally turned on a stove.”
I also claimed I would never own anything besides fish, but now we are proud owners of a little pet Lizard, aptly named “Lizzie”.
Me, when I came home from work:”You bought a what!?“
I have to admit, the little guy (actually it’s a girl, not that I would know the difference) is growing on me though, so much so that I sacraficed an HP Printer for it. Violating the rules, one of my girls took Lizzie out of her cage to play with it, when it got scared and ran off. My daughter bravely fessed up to Mrs.PI, who calmly tried to catch Lizzie.
Being a smart little lizard, it did what any good lizard would do. Run and hide inside of an ink jet printer.
Knowing we were outsmarted, we called for re-inforcements: the all creatures great and small loving neighbors of ours. They took the printer away and lovingly worked for two days trying to get little Lizzie out of our printer.Â
Knowing she couldn’t live in there forever, a final effort was made to get her out. To the joy of my kids, Mrs.PI and the neighbors came home with one live lizard, and one broken printer.
