New Neighbor

   We have recently been coming into contact with a neighbor next door who we hadn't previously seen.  She (we're guessing on gender) comes out to sun herself on the tennis court.  Jackson is obsessed with barking and growling at her.  Mia gets a bit freaked out.  Sam thinks she's "awesome."  Her favorite foods are snails and slugs, because they're slower than she is.  She's about 2 feet long, although she's missing part of her tail.  It will grow back.  She's a Blue Tongued Lizard. 


We've dubbed her Natalie, in honor of our next door neighbor at home who also frequently has a blue tongue...from popsicles!
