Hide and Seek lizard

apparently, i'm in a hide-and-seek game with a very tricky lizard. this little reptile has been popping his head out from under the 3-seater sofa all night since i started working on my comp. this is all the dog's fault... if we didn't have a spoilt mutt which only eats when he feels like it (so his dinner has to be kept out for him until we go to bed), we'd have our pests under control.

anyway, this sneaky lizard has tried to out-smart me by popping out at different points from under the sofa. he discovered this trick when he figured that i had learned his routine and could predict where and when was his next scheduled attack.

hmm... somehow i think this cunning scaley fiend is more interested on beating me by creeping out unnoticed (by me) than actually stealing the dog's food!!! he's been trying countless times without any success so far... although he had a few near misses where he managed to creep out full body rather than just his head. the more attempts he makes, the more bold he becomes and is not easily cowwed by a flick of my hand.

unfortunately for me, he'll be having the run of the house in less than an hour's time as i have to catch some shuteye now. so mr. lizard, you win this round!!! i have a feeling we'll get a rematch for this out-smarting hide-and-seek game in the near future!

p.s: come to think of it, this lizard could very well be a female (since it is said by SOME people that females are more cunning...). if that's the case, then it'll have to be addressed as ms. lizard!
