Throwback Thursday on a Monday
Okay, so Haldoor's post about the weta got me thinking about these old pictures. Severina2001, these are for you.
One day, the girls and I were out at The District - an open air shopping center of sorts near one of the local casinos and we stumble across this just sunning on the sidewalk:
His owner sees us looking, invites us over so the girls can check him out. His name is Vegas, of course, and if I remember correctly, he's a monitor lizard. Cute, eh?
I can't for the life of me remember what the guy's name was, but Troy knew him and said he was a right prick when they played tennis together. But, he was very kind to the girls, so I'll give him that. Dude picked up Vegas and put him right into Taylor's arms and she did not know what to do at all. It was kind of amusing though, because he gently tapped Vegas under the chin and he lifted his head right up and posed pretty.
Maddie was a litte more into it:
But Maddie was always pretty fearless. I do wonder if this is why she wanted a bearded dragon so badly.
Just for reference, these pics were taken in October 2009, making Taylor 9 and Maddie 6. I'd previously estimated Vegas at 4' long, but maybe he's closer to 3'? Either way, he's one big reptile. Sweet as can be though. Makes me wonder what happened to him and his owner.

LOL! I'm reminded of the 'Go, Dog, Go' book from my childhood, where there's several scenes of two dogs meeting, and one says to the other 'Do you like my hat?' and the other says 'No, I do not like your hat.', and in the last scene, the dog has THE fanciest fruit-filled (I think) hat, and the 2nd dog says 'Yes, I DO like your hat!' It always tickled me! ;-)
