Lizard, well, Gecko, sitting

So, a friend of the kiddos had asked us to lizard sit.  They had asked us back some time ago, because they are putting their house on the market and the relator says that reptiles can be a deal breaker, so we are watching Pat until the house sells.  Well, that was the starting story.. and we were just having trouble finding time getting the lizard to our house.  However, a small kitchen fire prompted them to move a little faster on making arrangements!  So, Pat took up residency in the corner of our dining room this afternoon.  

Pat is a Leopard Gecko and pretty funny... we have enjoyed watching him over this past week.  He/she does this thing with her tail right before she pounces on the crickets in her cage.  Funny to watch!!
