Chasing Lizards

I have the most goofy dog!!

I have a very tiny back yard. It has a very tiny cement area out the back door and then grass. We have a fence all around it and next to the fence we have a few flat bricks laid that I have my comfy outdoor chair.

Around 4:30pm it finally cooled down and I went out side to water the yard and plants. I watered the plants and replanted one plant and then noticed that the two hummingbird feeders were surrounded by hummingbirds so I sat in my chair with the sprayer on the hose and just held the hose with the sprayer over the yard and began to watch the birds.

It was then that I realized what my goofy dog had been doing the entire time I was messing around with the plants.

On the tiny cement area there sits our air conditioner compressor unit which is about a two feet wide square. We have lizards that have decided to live underneath and my dog was guarding that unit to be sure that lizard did not come out from under it! He kept his nose down to the bottom of the unit and as the lizard poked it's nose out on the other side he'd run over to that side and the lizard would run under it and over to the opposite side.......so the dog ran to the opposite side! Back and forth, back and forth this dog ran each time the lizard stuck it's nose out of either side.

It was as though the lizard was playing the game with the dog and this went on for an hour and 15 minutes non-stop!!
