I have two new pet friends. I named them Chris and Pat since they would not tell me if they were boys or girls.
I tried taking photos but they were too dark. Chris is the friendly one, will come up on my desk and listen to me while I talk babytalk in gecko. I am glad to have them here. I miss the other ones and wonder what happened to them.
Do you ever talk to wild things? What are they? Have you made any of them your friends?

There are a lot of lizards in Florida. We call them geckos. They like to come in my place and hang on the wall and watch me work on the computer. They are not really pets. They come and go as they please and find their own dinner. They just seem to like company once in a while.

@birjudanak I am happy to hear that. How can a lizard hide behind a clock?

It would be pretty cool if they did hope around in joy!

Chris and Pat are fine for either females or males. I saw a lizard when I was looking around a Mayan ruin in Mexico. Last year I traveled to Madeira where I saw some lizards. They went running when they saw us come along. I talk to wild and pet animals.

How kool. The lizards around here just run off if they detect movement and rarely to I get a really good look at them ..... I do know that one of them is some kind of muddy brown as it streaks away.
I used to try to talk to a grackle but I don't see very many of them anymore.

My friends are wild, everytime we go out for a pizza they start munching before I get to pick my first slice of pizza. Yeah I still talk to them wild things/humans (Ain't sure what to call them).

@akalinus I don't think it's nonsense.They don't understand our languages,but they know what we want to say to them.Some people talk to trees.I know an old villager who keeps talking to plants he has nurtured.
